Just saw (& heard) this thread for the first time today. Dude, between the tone and the riffs, that stuff is the epitome of everything I love about metal. Fuckin' thumbs up, man. I'd buy this in a heartbeat. Hell, I wish everything sounded this good. Put me down as yet another dude that'd love to see this come out as a 2-cd debut.

Do you & Bud come up with the riffs somewhat equally, or are most of these yours, or his? Regardless, fucking superb, dude.

(PS: Loved the viking tune. )

I'll get to your question in a minute, but first of all, thank you very much dude.

As for who comes up with the riffs? I'll break it down song by song for you in a moment, but in general one of two things will happen: 1) One of us comes up with the majority of the song, and the other will come up with cool parts to add to it (be it a lead, interlude, breakdown, outro, whatever) or 2) We'll just write the riffs together as we go in a 50/50 kind of thing. There are a few of songs I wrote entirely by myself, and one or two he came up with entirely himself, but usually it's a collaboration.

In terms of the songs I posted though, The first one (22 - we have song titles finally but I forget so I still go by #s) I wrote IIRC. The second one (13) I wrote most of it, I believe Buddy and I collaborated on some of the breakdown/interlude stuff though. The third one (11) I wrote accept for the breakdown IIRC. The fourth one (9), I'd say he wrote most of it, but I tweaked it somewhat. I think the only parts I came up with on that one were the chorus and the ending. The fifth one (29) Buddy pretty much wrote entirely himself. Yeah, that was 100% him. The 'viking' one (25 - which I posted later in this thread in case anyone missed it), I honestly don't remember I think we went 50/50 on it.

Hope that answers it. I'll be posting more soon.

PS: Hey Dan, if you're reading this, I know you contributed to the songs too, he asked about riffs not drums

Excellent. Thanks for the details on the credits, and I look forward to hearing some more. Post all ya want, of that badass riffage. I'm lovin' it.

* Sentient will be putting all samples posted so far onto a cd, so he can be listening to Nemecide in the car later today. \m/

Man .. zimbloth awesome guitar rack you have written ... everything is so gelled all together .. the guitar and drums Man ... i still can't believe you can gey such a good tone out of the GMX212 ... the tone is so pro! ... Did you use the Califonia and hi gain set up? Man go to go to the store to try these amps ... I think i just heard my new amp replacement for my Line 6 spider 2 ... Do you know if the 30 watts from Behringer is just as good? The 30 watts with the 10in speaker .. with DSP .. ?

[eon_shift]

That was amazing just amazing I liked that more than most of the stuff on my ipod. You have got to make a cd a cell it to all of us.

Thanks dude, I appreciate it. Yeah I still can't believe the tone I get from that amp as well. I don't use the California setting no. I use the 'British' amp model on the 'hot' mode using the 'UK' speaker setting. My EQ is roughly bass 6.5, mids 4.5, treble 7.8 (just a touch below 8, it is very sensitive), gain and presence on 10 (would never do this with a tube amp but it works here honest), and then level and master set to taste. For these recordings, I was using a fairly quiet sound. Channel volume on about 2.5 and the master on 3.

I had a Spider 2 once upon a time, I promise you this would destroy it. I'm not sure about the 30w version of the GMX though, I'm sure it's fine, just likely doesn't have the same tight bass response as the 2x12 version.

Wow thanks man, I appreciate the compliments. That's definitely the plan, I'm really looking forward to recording a proper CD. These homemade clips are nice but doesn't do it justice

Just out of curiosity, which clips did you like the most? I'm interested to hear which ones people prefer. As aside, the clips I've posted contain 2-3 of our main songs, but the majority of our best material has yet to be recorded, so stay tuned

Dude, all this stuff is beyond sick. I think the Viking tune would sound better with different drums, though. I love the riffs, but the drums are just rubbing me the wrong way. I think it's more the sound of them than what's being played, though.

Anyway, put me on the list for buying this stuff when available.

[VicerExciser]

Dude I've been listening to at least one of your songs almost every day since you put these up, great shit man.
I'm just really wondering what they sound like with vocals.
