heres some gay ass chords

@morumbar r u Ceminon?

@mappy do u have some demos/unmastered/unmixed/whatever stuff? I'll probably like that more, LOL.

anyway this is some pretty cool mix of genres. I like it. but it's easier to talk about what I don't like, so...

I'd have less double-bass & more crashing cymbals though. the constant double bass is too nagging for me, and drags it down a bit. it's really loud and demanding. I'd also like some feedback and faux-screamo choruses, but hey that's just me, probably.

but overall this is neat. the screamo-ish song dedicated to your cat is nice. it's the best track along with #4. the intro riffs on #4 made me wish it progressed into a full blown Manowar track. but it's pretty good as is as well. second best track. the other two lack the distinct guitar/bass work that #1 & #4 have, thus making the overbearingly nagging double bass-drums momentarily bearable.

there are a couple of truly inspiring moments on here - the stand outs being the fast part of #1, and the epic guitar parts on #4. but both songs simply have fantastic guitars, top notch vocals & creative solutions in general. sadly, the drums are really weak throughout this record, IMO. not only the awful focus on double bass drums, but just the way they sound as well. the rapid snare bashing on #1 is really really really cool though. a rare highlight from that instrument.






IDK if you give a shit though. this might just be tl;dr or "who does this idiot think he is" to you... but there it is. looking forward to hearing more from your band. hopefully (for me), you will be expanding on the areas I think you are doing magnificently in the future. good luck.

map can u put the art/tracklist on ur bands page so i can add that shti on rym

those were some gay ass chords

listening to the demo now mappy, liking the first track a lot

[QUOTE=christsimpson;18637028]@morumbar r u Ceminon?[/QUOTE]
Yeah. Changed it when I found out that "cemina" apparently was a misreading of Tolkien's handwriting and it turned out it should have been "cemna". (The "-on" suffix makes it a male word.)

Your musical compatibility with Ceminon is Low

Music you have in common includes Manowar, Burzum, Summoning, Lies Of A Murderer and Blind Guardian.

werrd

idk man, i think derek's drumming is incredible, dude's got skillsssss

[QUOTE=nodding;18637037]map can u put the art/tracklist on ur bands page so i can add that shti on rym[/QUOTE]

wait until da official release or whatever lol

drumming is OK. drum set sounds iffy. and way way way too much loud and demanding double bass hammering

[QUOTE=Morumbar;18635842]Depends on the music you're making, but guitars could generally use a cut from 30hz down to 0, a boost anywhere between 150-250hz, a stoop from there to something like 5k or 6k hz, and then a boost between that and 10k or so, followed by a drop. This is roughly speaking. Bass, idk, really.[/QUOTE]

i'll give it a shot, thanks

went to record and first time I broke a guitar string in forever :(

I guess it was about that time

2muchshreddin

I mostly play power chords and bluesy licks

rhythm backing track of what i've got so far, EQ'ing the bass was a pain but I guess it is the best i'm gonna get it until I have more instruments in there

short sample of my best Gang of Four guitar impression, would have recorded more but my string broke

sounds like the bass needs more mids/lower mids idk

thats a good post punk guitar sound

i gave ur mom more lower mids last night

[QUOTE=nodding;18637676]sounds like the bass needs more mids/lower mids idk[/QUOTE]

yeah. each individual section seems to throw the other off though if I fuck with it too much

i'll try and round it out once I have the guitar recorded properly

[QUOTE=nodding;18637679]thats a good post punk guitar sound[/QUOTE]

if I play sharp chords it sounds pretty snappy

the low gain make it sound too digital and like piss though if I let notes hang too long

mappy your vocals sound so good shit.

Thanks brozy.

Lyrics guys...

[B]We Love The Cats / Stinky Backpack[/B]

Oh my damn, what's that intoxicating smell?

Smoke dank nugs
Blazed as fuck

[B]Imprints & Surveys[/B]

We'll survey this language with the hearts of critics
And drink from the wine of the words that flow
Like the lips of a cheap date, smothered in lip stick
Saturated in mistruth, rife with twisted meaning

And we'll drink from that sweet liqour
And convince ourselves of what we wanted
Of what we wanted and what we lost

We'll take it all without a single thought x4

Not a word of encouragement
Just a single glance to the eyes
Just cold silent barriers
Just cold silent barriers

Ignorance, ignoring, intoxicating

Now the east has met the west
And the product is culture shock

[B]211[/B]

There was a time
Where there came to be
A war between friendship and illicity

So cast your stone, and slit my throat
But I digress
These self-destructive ways will lead to tragedy
So cast your stone, and slit my throat
I am impressed
That you'd prefer to live a life of broken pieces

I am the leach
But you are all hypocrites

I know not whence forth I found these Gaurwaith
Or where forth they came

I am the leach

[B]It's On South Street[/B]

A wretch is smothered by
By the meaning of this experience
That we refer to as life
The gifts of man are graceful
And shallowly graceless
A buffoon sings loudly out of key

A woman looks criminally attractive in the color red
A child is lame and still plays ball

The wretch just sits in his chair, thinking away

He will never see the daylight
He will never see the daylight again

The sun is dead etc.
