Have a listen...

...to my band! If you think we rock or suck, any feedback is appreciated! The style of music can be described as metal but with melodic parts aswell, so its not just full on screamin! We have been compared to bands like pantera, soilwork, machine head, pissing razors. We're also from England so it'd be great to get a perspective from people the other side of the world! You can listen to 3 full tracks [URL=http://www.myspace.com/elysiumshift]HERE![/url]

Cheers

Cool!!!!
Good production, guitar tone and song structure. Singer reminded me a bit of more recent James Hetfield crossed with wasisface from the Prodigy (if that makes any sense).
Nice one. Good tracks.

It's really good, but it sounds like you've tried to become the stereotypical metal-band and just used that sound instead of looking for your own sound. I find a lot of bands these days try to be some other band instead of trying to be themselves. Sorry if I'm wrong, but that's what I think. That in mind, however, the guitars and vocals are very well done, I just think they could be more original.

Yeah, that's the guy (Keith Flint). Maybe it's that aggressive "Londoner" tone, but I might be way off base......
Good stuff.

Thanks dude! I don't think we're trying to sound like any particular band, i mean, we all have our own influences like everyone else but thats the sound and style we just happened to be like. When we started out like 9 years ago we were the typical nirvana wannabe's but i think we've found our own style over the years as we've become older and more mature, our musical tastes have changed too, for the better hopefully! I think the style and our sound reflects that. At the end of the day though your still gonna get compared to other bands so i totally know what your sayin dude. Thanks again for the honest comments anyway, its appreciated!

Dude, thats fair enough man! If you don't like metal then i wouldn't expect you to like it, just like i wouldn't expect everyone who likes metal to like it! That'd be nice though! Anyway, thanks for taking the time to listen to it, we appreciate it
