WARNING WARNING THIS IS NOT EXTREME METAL WARNING

[Futuro]

That was good. Id buy it.

[Arucard]

Then do when it comes out next month :)

[ATM]

Pretty cool stuff.

Make a proper link tho >:-o

[TojesDolan]

Pretty good track. The drums were a bit off, but nothing that extra practice and time doesn't really fix. :)


The guitar work is awesome.

[gillygan]

That was awsome! I love the hardcore+melodicness of it. 1:30 is my favorite part, and the drumming is really cool.

Edit: The guitar leads are awsome too...

[Arucard]

Lol i'd say it was the other way round, the drums are better than the guitar ha.

Thanks guys!

Oh yeh btw first solo = me, second = other guitarist.

[GenuineImitation]

I really enjoyed the song. The lead guitars were good also. Keep up the great work.

Then do when it comes out next month :)

Are you signed to a label or is it an Independent release? Also, were will it be released?

[Arucard]

It will most likely be distributed by Rockfood or Violent Society (They have Freaks Union, Two Shot Blast on them and stuff), but i will also be doing alot of the distributing. You will be able to buy it from most of the good music shops around Leicestershire and the East Midlands, but if you want it outside of their just talk to me and i'll send you one.

Im guessing thats in the UK. I live in New York so that may be a bit of a problem.

That would be cool if you can send me the album. I could spread the word here in the states for you.

It was probably the mix, though, because it sounded a bit too loud.

Wait two solos?

/listens again

oh yeah. gg

Im probably going to upload it and give it to most of MX for free anyway ha.

We can sell it cheap because we recorded it using Logic Pro in my drummers bedroom, as he runs his own studio.

Thats cool. How many songs are on the album?

[Arucard]

Its only an EP i'm afraid, we havent been together for very long, its the first band i've been in that i'm very serious about, probably because its all written by me and i sing it ha.

And probably 5 songs, but as you heard from that they are quite long (all in excess of 5 minutes anyway).

Releasing an EP is still nice. For a band that hasn't been around that long, you guys are pretty good.

[jcs497]

Wow, when you said no extreme metal, I didn't think you meant punk :p.

It's pretty freakin sweet, I'd buy it. I'm in the states though.

[Jom]

I'll have to listen in later on - I'm still trying to fritz up the home computer (slower connection).

But I look forward to it because my name is actually in the thread title! :score:

[Arucard]

Its not punk :(

If the Sex Pistols have solos like that in it then i'll be darned!

:(

I meant newer hardcore punk. You brits have different names for things. The fact that you solo means nothing in terms of genre though.

[Arucard]

Well, it certainly makes it less punk ha.

Although alot of people say we sound like Rise Against :tehshifty:

Your voice does quite a bit.

[Arucard]

Yah i guess. Well, the thing with our music is that i didn't want to whine, and i certainly didn't want to mute everything and try and be At The Gates even though we are obviously not.

So we found a happy medium that involved making respectable melodic hardcore :) ha

It's quite nice, and I'd imagine (even though I've only heard one song) that it stray away from the normal monotony that hardcore sometimes has...

cheers:chug:

[Bartender]

I hate myspace, so, so much. The first three seconds sound wonderful, though..

I'll be wanting a copy, anyway. Don't suppose it'll make it to Leeds, though. Would Hellsing be one of the other songs, or has that dropped by the wayside at some point?

[Arucard]

Ha yes. Well, the other tracks are quite different as that was our first song we wrote together. The EP has one very hardcore punk track, and several very Maiden-esque type of things on it.

So yeh, i will post more when we finish it.

Bart : Yes it is :) Everyone seems to love that song. Thats the most hardcore punk song btw.

Well, that's it for me folks...

[Arucard]

Hahaha. Do you dislike Maiden?

[Bartender]

Bart : Yes it is :) Everyone seems to love that song.

Well to be honest, it's the only song of yours I know. I do like it plenty, though.

Let me know when it's out, anyway.

[jcs497]

Hahaha. Do you dislike Maiden?
It's not so much that I dislike Maiden...it's that anything that's described as Maiden-esque (excluding the genre of power metal) usually sucks.

But we'll see.

[Arucard]

Oh don't worry its not OMG LOOK AT US WE ARE AN AMERICAN BAND WHO SAY WE LOVE MAIDEN YEH.

Its more the riffing style.

[Six Foot Revolver]

/me posts so Joe stops calling me a Nazi.

I liked the song it was one of my favourites off that gig you sent me.The production is a lot better than I expected. Is it a home recording or did you go to a studio? I hope you plan on sending me the new album free of charge =P.

[Arucard]

Home recording :cool:

[Six Foot Revolver]

Home recording :cool:
Hawt, did you do the mixing?

[Arucard]

It isn't mixed yet :*(

But our drummer will when he has time. I just wanted to get a track up nice and fast.

O rly? It sounds pretty good for a track that hasn't been mixed yet.

[Arucard]

ya rly

[DanD]

lol your name is Joe Jack.

/downloading right now

[Arucard]

Yes it is :(

[DanD]

It's not the kind of music that I would usually listen to, but its a quite different take on hardcore styled music, so I definitely give you props on that.

Have you ever thought about harmonizing some of those guitar leads? I think IMO that would sound cool.

[Arucard]

The problem is is that most of them aren't straight up guitar leads, like the one in the chorus, so it sounds messy if they are harmonised.

The breakdown bit is harmonised, and we have alot of harmonisation in other, slightly faster songs.

[DanD]

I was thinking more of that the lead that starts around 4:14, after the solo, IMO it could use a thick harmony. You probably shouldn't listen to me, though, because I'm sure everyone else will disagree, and I'm a bit of an idiot about that kind of stuff.

[Josh]

O rly? It sounds pretty good for a track that hasn't been mixed yet.
i thought it was mixed when i first listened, lol.

[comptonassrobert]

That was pretty good stuff, actually. The only problem I saw was the mixing of the guitars, you could barely hear the first solo


EDIT: Oh, maybe I should read the rest of the thread first next time =/

Oh yes, that would work well. Ill look into it at our next practice.

I listened, and it's not really my thing, but I quite liked the middle section around 3:00.

Old. I've been taking the piss out of him forever about it =P.

And for the sake of all that is holy, change the link in the first post so it's a proper link. Don't half-*** it man.

[Arucard]

Ok i did it :(

[Moses]

Sounds like real metalcore minus metal vocals.

[Arucard]

Ok... Don't really know what to say to that.

[Moses]

I forgot to say that it was good. Good stuff, cool first solo.

[Pete]

You won't forget to send me a copy too, will you?

I like it a lot - I'd like it even more if there were more screamed vocals, but I know first-hand how hard screaming is. I can't for the life of me scream decently.

Oh, and the production is pretty lame, but great for a home recording.

[Arucard]

Well good news on that front, i can't scream but we are recruiting a new bassist because we are going to tour in the Summer, and one of the requirments is the ability to do harsh vocals.

Huzzah!

Oh yeh Pete, did you see my thread in the pit directed at you? It no longer matters but i was wondering if you did.

[Pete]

Sweet, it'll be an awesome compliment to the music, which seems awesome as it is.

No, I must've missed that thread? Link?

So, send me a finished EP so I can review it for Pitstop.nu and possibly for sputnik. :)

[Arucard]

I can't find it because profiles are gay now :(

But its about my tattoo i thought it was dieing lol.

And that would be awesome :)
