Wow I really appreciate all the nice comments. I never know what to expect from people who are listening to us for the first time. When you're a band who does something different and combines 6-7 different genres, you're always at risk of alienating some people when a song strays from someones style of choice, but I'm glad a lot of you seem to dig it.

I'll now respond to some of the comments

Perhaps. Yeah it's really clear. It's mostly just how I play, but the blackouts and that Behringer have a really clear nice sound to it. On our real CD I'll be tracking with my Invader equipped Rico 7 as well as the blackout equipped one.

Haha nice. I was pretty nervous at Drew's place actually, I thought I played terrible

I'm guessing you're making that comparison because I'm a huge mid-range guy and that's something they're known for too I'm not personally a fan of them, some of the guys in my band are though.

Cool man. All of our songs are in the the following tuning: ADGCFAD. No G in there, but sometimes we do those 'inverted' 4th chords that sound lower than they are as well. Although in that particular song i don't think we do

Right now I just am pumping out some of these types of mp3s to use in the meantime, MySpace or whatnot. Our full CD is probably a couple months away still.

I'll post more clips soon, which I think death metal fans will like more. I love DM but the way I write, I just enjoy mixing different styles into something new and fresh. I'll leave the pure DM for the masters like Nile or Cannibal Corpse I'm all about making our own niche right now, although me and another band member have discussed having just a pure DM side project someday.

He's really good. He has a lot of range, lots of character, but as of now he doesn't do clean singing. We try to make the guitars the melody, and our singer part of what makes shit heavy. It's tough to compare him, but I hear a lot of Phil Anselmo in him but different. He's not a deep growler or anything, but he's not screaming like a bashee all the time either. You'll hear him soon, I think he compliments the songs very well, but just the nature of the business dictates that a lot of people won't like his style I'm sure, which is cool

You had some shit up there I haven't heard yet, Nick. That #3, your favorite, mine too. Wicked evil, son.

Wow, that means a lot Bob, thanks. I appreciate the praise. Thank you to everyone else who's thrown along compliments as well.

do you listen to 'if hope dies" at all by chance? that first tune reminded me of them a fair bit.

PS: i find the speed to be just fine :P

Thanks man. I can't say I've ever of "If Hope Dies". If something I/we wrote sounds like them, that's purely a coincidence

I hope so, we've put in a ton of time writing and developing chemistry, I can't wait to get it out there and tour as much as possible. It's such a natural high for me, I love it.

We joke around that our debut album should be a Double CD box set w/ live DVD because we have nearly 30 songs. We'll somehow have to get it down to 10-12 and go from there

I can't wait to have a full length too

[B Lopez]

Hey, you could have a 30 song album. I wouldnt mind at all I dig it since it's not "holy crap death metal" but still heavy as fuck.

LMAO @ not frostbitten enough.

And I agree with TDW, excellent songwriting.

Haha I'd like that too, but I have a feeling that would be career suicide Plus, our label would never allow it. We are going to record each and every song we have anyways though, for our own pleasure, posting online, b-sides, whatever. Just the actual CD I'm sure won't have more than 10-12 tunes

[Edroz]

digging the tunes Zim , keep 'em coming!

[zimbloth]

Ok for people who want something faster, try this one on for size. This is one the other guitarist wrote, kickass song, with one of the most brutal end sections of all-time IMO

The new one is REALLY good. You guys do fast well.

It must be the midrange thing that makes me think of LoG, and the playing is a little similar too. Which is not a bad thing at all for me.

[Ryan]

So like, how do I get that djent sound???

I like your riffage a whole lot man. It reminds me of Blood Red Throne. \m/
