03.06.13 | I don't want to be a dick but literally nothing happens for over 3 minutes and once something does happen, it is worse than the prior three minutes. |

03.06.13 | Uhh, yeah pretty much what Xing said, sorry |

03.06.13 | It's not that what's here is necessarily bad, it's just that it's WAY overdrawn. That's why Touche Amore songs are like a minute each and FEEL complete. Their ideas, riffs and vocals and all, are just not sustainable for that amount of time. Not that you guys are Touche Amore or anything but even with post-rock and doom jams there's a lot of atmosphere and/or naturally coherent ideas that allow it to last for as long as it does. Anyway, reevaluate your style beyond monotony and you'll have something nicely cooked up in no time. |

03.06.13 | Vocals are ace. |
Kman418
03.06.13 | Yeah the vocals are perfect tho |
witchxrapist
03.06.13 | The monotony is the point. :|
Thanks on the vocals I guess. |

03.06.13 | cool man. could benefit greatly from better mixing. kvlt production is fine but there isn't enough emphasis on dynamics, making it sound a bit flat. also quiet down the vox a bit and add some reverb as well |
witchxrapist
03.06.13 | We're recording live and still trying to figure out where to position the mics. |
XingKing
03.06.13 | Track everything separately and then mix it all together after |

03.06.13 | They were talking about how they want to do live recording before I ever joined, and now that we've worked on it like that, I agree, it feels more real. It's easier to put yourself into it, something about screaming alone into a booth listening to headphones just makes me nervous and self-conscious, but when I'm jamming with my dudes I'm at my best.
Also, here's my shitty lyrics I wrote during a depressive episode last month:
In my world
Sometimes it seems
Like I'm surrounded by walls
and everything I want is falling apart
It's bleak & it's desolate
Everything's fine, I'm just unhappy
Nothing's wrong, I'm still just worried
Lifelines are measured in tendrils of lies
What trust? What joy?
What daggers have we for teeth?
What subtleties do we hide?
Of what basis is belief?
I'll question everything I see
Something bad's coming, I know it
If worry is my common theme,
Then might guard be the safest bet?
(Maybe I panic too much)
If distrust is so common for me,
Then might guard be a blessing?
(Maybe I'm overreacting to nothing)
I'll guard myself from dishonest hearts
I won't say much at all |

03.06.13 | you guys do that incessant pounding thing that all the cool bands do. a little more guitar in the mix would go a long way.
vocals really are quite good. |
witchxrapist
03.06.13 | Yeah, we're gonna move his amp closer to the mic we're sharing tomorrow.
We have it set up like, a studio mic in between the amp I'm using for vox and his amp, and then one between the drumset and our bassist's amp, lol. |

sniper
03.06.13 | yeah who needs to hear the instrumentation anyway, i only listen to music for the tape hiss. hit up my shoutbox if you guys record more demos. |
witchxrapist
03.06.13 | def mang, we're supposed to be doing a split with some band we're playing with on saturday sometime this spring |
dimsim3478
03.06.13 | So I went back and listened to this as a metal thing and not a screamo thing and liked it. Fuck now I feel like a douche. |
witchxrapist
03.06.13 | It's sort of a mix... and I know this comes off as corny, but at least I can tell we're all a buncha
depressed 20 something year olds with drinking problems when you hear it.... and that makes it sound
real? |
EaglesBecomeVultures

witchxrapist
03.07.13 | It's all good mang, me and my one friend were talking about how we thought Caravels was gonna blow up
in the screamo scene but kind of just disappeared, and then blam you give me this news. As for this
project, we recorded the full song tonight, and, didn't get the vocals right this time either...
guitar is high enough in the mix, vocals are too low in the mix, gonna try again on Friday haha. |
