There you can listen to Veil of a Maya.[/QUOTE]

Thanks. Good stuff, not very similar to Athiest, like I was expecting.

I prefer Celestial Voyage and Textures.

CV has an awesome riff and Textures has some really cool work all around.

Veil Of Maya has always been my favourite.

That's what everyone says but I find it annoying for some reason.

It's probably the catchiest on the album. That can be rare for tech-death. That's why I love Psycroptic.

Celestial Voyage would be my next favourite.

[QUOTE=Moses]I thought you were talking about them when there was a jazz metal comp.:confused:[/QUOTE]

I was - people e-mailed me suggestions to put into the thread, as I asked them to.

[quote=the2stranger]havent heard the new CC yet, what's wrong with it?
I'm expecting good stuff actuall.

Horribly unevolving band.

I see you finally got a name change.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]Atheist are heavier. Most metalheads seem to prefer Atheist.[/QUOTE]
I prefer Cynic. :mad:

Thankfully.

Hey if nobody minds, you guys should check out some demo instrumental tracks that we might record on our album..... [URL="http://www.myspace.com/forthisibleed"]http://www.myspace.com/forthisibleed[/URL]


Anyway, I've been spending the past two days driving myself up the wall with music and guitar theory and vocal technique......I have a splitting headache, and what do I do? Blare some death metal.

NP: Cannibal Corpse: Savage Head Butchery

<<<<<has worse headache now.

This is emo.

As do I. :)

Do you even have enough material that is good enough quality for a full-length album? It would be better if you did an EP.

Quality over quantity ftw.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]I see you finally got a name change.[/QUOTE]

Yes, Breaking Benjamin and Atreyu no longer rule all. :p

While you're all at it, check out my band (almost my solo project). We've got a full song on there (on which I do all the instruments + drum machine), a MIDI preview of an intro of a song I'm currently working on, and a funny *** techno song my friends made messing around.

I have blisters on my fingers :( I'm not used to bass yet. Typing hurts and I think writing will too.

I broke my friends' bass by accident today. How long have you been playing?

[quote=Moses]This is emo.[/quote]


How in the bleeding hell did you come to that conclusion?


<<<<<<<<'s band hates emo with a passion.

What's wrong with emo? I suspect that you hate something that you can't even identify.

And your lead guitar doesn't fit with your rhythm guitar, by the way. :\
In the first two songs, anyway, now listening to the others.

Heh, you still have a lot of work with your band it seems, I wouldn't record quite yet.

Ok, my band hates emo. I haven't cared enough to check out any true emo bands outside of punk-type stuff (which I don't like anyway).

Yes, I know my lead doesn't fit his rythm. On Burn, I failed at creating a scale in the same key. In A Shade of Grey, All I wanted to do was shred. And In the two instrumentals, the lead only fits parts of the rythm, and is for the most part quite boring.........we're workin on it.......I've avoided music theory for most of my life, and what I did remember, I put to poor use.

I just got a royal kick in the *** from a couple fans and friends of ours who happen to be gods in theory and composition......hence the nonstop studying I've been doing as of late......


We also just now got a live drummer, so we can kick the drum programming out the window.......I'm going through some vocal training right now too. We are going through a lot of transitions and change as we write this new stuff that's going to be on the album; it should make it quite interesting........


I still don't understand the emo comment though.



Thank you for not being a fanboy or a total as[B]s[/B]hole. It seems we get one extreme or the other when it comes to our demo stuff.

I think he was just trying to insult you, but I doubt he knows what emo is either.

Well, it's good that you're working on all of that, because these recordings are substandard. Keep up the good work, though.

Best band I've heard by an Mxer (admittedly, I haven't heard many) is Trevor's.

[QUOTE=Superpeer]Oh yeah, they're one of the funniest bands I know. :D

Did you do that to your usertitle on purpose or did you get owned by the swear filter? :lol:[/QUOTE]
it's on purpose :p

some n00b indeed came in to the DT thread saying that 'Mike Por[size=2]n[/size]oy is the best drummer alive.

so the filter changed it to animal photograpsoy, which I thought was pretty funny and deserved a spot in my usdertitle, which has been lame for a long time anyway.

tomorrow is visitor's day at my uni for aspiring students, I'll be going, getting free food and earning 25€ for being there a few hours, not too bad, espcially considering I'm there to promote drama, which is my favorite subject

That's not really a criticism when levelled at Cannibal Corpse.

My personal favourite is How Could I.

[QUOTE=Bartender]That's not really a criticism when levelled at Cannibal Corpse.

From the reviews I read, the album gets good credit.
So have you already heard it and have an opinion on it?

I'm quite curious

Yea, well, I don't know.


I love CC to death, but their lack of musical ingenuity is greatly uninspiring at times.


I bought it the other day, and it was like an exact repeat of gore obsessed. Not bad, but no different.

Dude, it's Cannibal Corpse. What do you expect? 10 minute epics?

[quote=Apocalyptic Raids]Dude, it's Cannibal Corpse. What do you expect? 10 minute epics?[/quote]

That would be nice.......:p

No, not really....I guess I just expected maybe something more intelligent lyrically, or maybe a changeup in guitar style or something.....I don't know. Repetitiveness gets old quick.

But I still like 'em, though I don't know why.....

No, I've not heard it :)

It's just more or less a fact that any given new Cannibal Corpse will closely resemble the old Cannibal Corpse. If I had the right symbols on my keyboard I could represent it in logical notation. They haven't exactly built a career on innovation, so I guess I'm just always surprised when they release a new one and a whole new swathe of people complain that it's no different to their old ones.

EDIT: ^What AR said.

<<<< not complaining, merely mentioning that it's nothing special.

theres nothing like spending 2 hours of your life to appease people on MX, only for them to say "it sucks"


i love this place :lol:

The MX populace is a very fickle bunch indeed - wherever you go. That's one of the appealing things about it, possibly.

I'm just here for the free food.

Nah, but seriously, here's one example: people will come into L&R in The Pit with a problem, others will give 'em advice, and then they'll just all be like "God what crappy advice you guys suck why can't life be easy."

Oh, you say life is supposed to be easy?

I need to read that one :p
