Hey, thanks for checking this out. My band and I have been together for almost a year now, but we have not gotten a chance to play many shows. It would be really nice to get some honest, non-biased feedback about our overall sound/song writing ability.

The first two songs on our Myspace were professionally mixed and mastered, but the other two were mixed by us...you'll be able to tell, lol.



Here's the web address:

P.S. Sorry, not sure how to make the address a link...so you'll have to copy paste it.

The professional produced songs sound really nice. A typical American production, they just know how to mix and master music in an awesome way. We Dutch still have much to learn on that level.
I especially like the drum sound, very full and clear. The vocals are a little shakey from time to time, and not really to my taste, but do fit the music. The guitars sound full and big, but a little untight from time to time.
The songwriting is nice, it's not always easy to create an interesting song in this genre, believe me, I know :P
I'd love to see this live, I'm guessing there will be a lot of energy coming from the stage.
Keep up the great work.. hopefully you'll cross the pond and visit us Europeans one day.

Thanks Archetype. I really appreciate the honest feedback, and I tend to agree with you. The vocals are powerful, but sometimes they are a little "pitchy"--if I can borrow an American Idol word, lol. Also, I KNOW for a fact that the guitars can be "untight" occasionally--although we do try so terribly hard to minimize that, lol.



My biggest wish for this band is for our vocalist to use for diversity in his singing style. He just seems to stay in the same ranges, using the same inflections on most of our stuff. In fact, that's what I love about any project that Devin Townsend is in. God, no vocalist can match the emotion that man puts out! I love it! Every single word and note is sang with a different feeling--each word has a different importance and emphasis in his songs. It seems like most vocalists these days just try to stay consistent throughout the whole song and Devin demolishes that idea and does so beautifully :)

Funny thing is, we are in a battle of the bands right now and if we win we can go over seas :) So maybe one day that'll happen. Right now, I'm too broke :(

And yes, our stuff does seem to work really well live, so thank you for the compliment! :D
