2 bands I also love. Probably why I dig this music so much.

Oddly, Nick, even though you're no LoG fan, I am a HUGE LoG fan, but yet, I still totally dig your music, even if that sound isn't your bag. (Although, I'd say you're way closer to AM/AE than LoG.)

Odd.

Yeah I can see that aspect of it. Some people in my band do dig Lamb of God, but it's not really my scene. I'm definitely more inspired by the european type stuff guitar-wise, except for Nile/CC.

I'm really glad you dig it, I'll be posting more tunes soon.

We've been writing together for 2+ years but we've only just started to play shows. I'll let you know when more gigs turn up and you can decide then

Hey All, this is Bud, the other guitar player in Nemecide. I'm just throwing in my 2 cents here and saying thanks to everyone for all the compliments. I just wanted to address the LoG references; i used to be a bigger fan of them than i am now, but i did get a lot of influence from them from their 1st 2 cds (even a little from the 3rd). So that may have a little something to do with it. But yea, i too think it's more along the lines of Arch Enemy and Amon Amarth, but more violent.

Cool shit man Now I am curious as to the vocals + all the leads and stuff that will be adorning the songs

Can't wait to hear it fully done dude!

I guess I'm inspired by the swedish type bands in that regard. Arch Enemy's solos I hum along to all the time.

There are loads of places begging for some leads, in the first 3-4 songs you can tell when it needs one, there's some riffs completely suited to some lead playing that fall at natural feeling points to go off on a "guitar hero foot on top of the mountain worship me mortals" tangent.

So yeah, i can see places all over the shop!

p.s: This is just reminding me that I really should get that last bit of putting everything together to post up shit I've been doing as well, so this has given me some more drive to get it finished!

zim, check out MySpace.com - IF HOPE DIES [new webstore up] - Auburn, New York - Metal / Hardcore / Surf - www.myspace.com/ifhopedies i think you may dig it.

i didnt really hear amon amarth or arch enemy in there, i was just tryin to make sense of the musical prowess that was invading my eardrums

it'll take a few listens to draw some comparisons. amon amarth ftw.

pretty awesome. groovy but heavy at the same time.

[FortePenance]

cool beans man. It's definitely reminiscent of AA/AE.

That's interesting man. I really haven't seen it that way, but you may have a point. If you could fill me in on these places that are begging for some leads, perhaps I can look into it. We have some solos, but in general the songs just usually seem fine as is, but maybe you're right. I just don't like forcing it.

Usually what naturally seems right for these songs is to just have melodic interludes or little harmony lead parts that are catchy, more so than 'guitar solos'. The main issue is usually once we write a song I just move on and don't go back and start thinking of more parts to add unless it feels incomplete. But now that you think of it, maybe it could use some more leads.

Interesting perspective, thanks. I'd like to think the songs are good enough as is though. Plenty of fun stuff to latch on to I think, but I'm always up for improving.

[The Dark Wolf]

James could be right, Nick, but I pretty much agree with you.

Damn this stuff all kicks ass

Definitely put me down for a cd when you guys have it ready
