Motropolis and Morose Spirits are pretty fucking kickass man. Its sounds really professional and everything seems mixed just right. I really like the piano on Morose. Those two songs really appeal to me, more so than the other hardcore one. But im really into industrial/different instruments so maybe thats why. It sounds pretty kickass man.

So when i was listening to it, it said the album was Motropolis, so are you signed or what? I really wouldnt be that suprised, not to turn this into a mutual ego stroke or anything but i was very impressed.

Arioch;
Thanks for listening, I'm glad you liked them! :D
Yeah, We're working on an album called Metropolis, it'll probably be released by the german label :SKULD:, I dunno when, but the album won't be finished anytime soon.. Right now we're busy working on a soundtrack for the horror-movie Rip Cage (Savage Dog Films / Zombie House Productions)..

If you want more songs from my project Catonium or any of my other projects, click here!

Also, it'd be kewl if we could collaborate & create something within the board.. I mean, there seems to be lots of tallented musicians here, so why not try to create something together?

There's no such thing as "too much guitar", in my opinion...I can appreciate a good drumbeat, but the guitar, above all else, makes the song for me...Arioch, you just keep doing what you're doing...It's more than obvious that you're doing something right...No need to change anything;) :)

Anything over 3 guitars is ridiculous. Then it just sounds like shit. Unless you get like 7 who don't know how to play, and each just play on chord and take turns. But why do that when you can get two talented people, or one.

Thanks Evisceration...That's a good point, and I agree...However, I wasn't referring to the number of guitars...I was referring to the dominance of the guitar...One guitar is more than enough if it's played well...I just like for a guitar to dominate a song...That's my preference...I like a good, hard, strong, well played guitar riff;) :)

Im 100% behind this idea. Id love to collaborate with any of you guys on here it would be really kickass i think. I think me and you, Jrole could make some really cool shit as our styles arent too far apart.

I agree, it can get really rediculous. But all of my bands shit at LEAST has 35 or so tracks in it (not all guitar mind you, but at least 8 or so guitars) but this is because i use 3-4 for the song itself, to get those fat hardcore parts. Then i use the rest for atmosphere, volume swells, slides, harmonics etc. Things not necessary to the song but that help creat that kind of offsetting dissenant sound, so when it all comes together on...say...a chorus it makes it sound that much more consanant and powerful.
But thats just me, it really can get overcrowded and obnoxious if you dont know what your doing.

well then, being a guitarist myself, I couldn't agree more.

Check my sig. I'm posting this again because I never got a response.

Check these bands out:

Nile
Immolation
Dimmu Borgir

I've checked them out before, infact, I've checked them out a long time ago.

Why point them out randomly?:confused:

another thought, if your looking into dimmu borgir why not look at theyr "sister" band, old mans child...even better

I don't really like Dimmu Borgir as much as I used to...they're using way to much synthesizers and shit. When I saw them live about a month back, you could barely hear shit, it felt like your brain was going to melt and shit.

If anyone sings here, would anyone know what the best mic is to purchase for vocals? I need a mic, I heard shures are really good, but that was one persons opinion, plus they're close to $120.

you get what you pay for

This is true. I might buy one anyway, I mean I have the money for it, but I just want to be sure.

wish i could help you more but i dont know that much about em to be honest, i only have one and thats home made by a friend, its never failed me, crystal clear sound.

Yeah, in my other band our vocalist had a few mics, and since I did backing vocals, I just used his. But now when I want to get ahold of him I can't, because he probably knows a good brand.

i have a Shure Evis, for $200 or so its the best all around performance mic you can buy i think. Its a dynamic im pretty sure, and has a frequency bump at 1000hrtz or so which makes vocals sound really present and warm which is nice. Sometimes you want it to sound flat tho, thats when i just eq it out, no problem.

Anyway ive been really happy with mine i have the 58a beta i think. Just check out the ones on Musiciansfriend they have all youll need i think.

$200 is pushing it, that's almost a whole paycheck for me.:(

But I might check one out. Where did you get it? Did you order it online?

ya you could get a 57 or 58 with what your talkin about you said $120 right??? Checkout musiciansfriend.com they have just about everything and much cheaper than guitar center who rips you off. Like i said tho, its tough to go wrong with a shure, im sure you wont be dissapointed, ;)

Hell yeah.
So, how do we start this collaboration, then?
Who should do what, etc?
It might be a good idea to start a new thread for this, eh?

what kind of project were you thinkin about Jrole? like what kind of genre?

I dunno, some kind of crossover, I guess...
Industrial, darkwave, metal, neoclassical, apocalyptic noisecore, postrock, etc.. It doesn't really matter, we'll just throw a few ideas at eachother, and just keep working on the ones that sound the best, or something?

I like your ideas, Neoclassical sounds really up-my-alley.

I like apocalyptic, but not many can pull it off and make it sound great.

btw, I found a picture of me in band practice..with my old band, so tis pictures probably...a year old..:o

Yea! old band pics.


Those were the days......

The only problem is that I'm playing my crappy guitar in that picture, I always use it for practice.

I can't wait till I get the pics from the club we played at on New Years eve.

I found one more.

What is that? looks like a fender.....stratacaster?? i had one for a while. Still have it actually, its seen better days tho. I literally beat the shit out of it. It was the same color scheme as that one.

Samick, I bought it pretty cheap, just for practicing purposes of course. I haven't used in like a year though because I broke one of the strings, and I'm too lazy to get it fixed, so now I use my Ibanez.

Teh solo.

nice. What kind of ibanez you using? Those are pretty nice guitars, i love the super low action on the strings thats what made me buy my schecter, it played alot like an ibanez.;)

I always liked this picture:

I'm new to the forum, but check this out.

Let me know what you think...

Mp3's pleese.

Ibanez...RG 88...something like that, I'm too lazy to go look.;) I also have teh Warlock....tis my newest guitar, I just got it this past summer.:D

And I'll be getting my mic on sunday, so now my new band can finally start making shit.:cool:

So which one did you decide to go with??

Shure PG58, a good $165.

Nice choice. Have you tried it out yet? Let me know how it sounds once you do. Im sure you'll be happy with it.

Make sure you keep us up to date, and make some mp3's for us. Good luck with the new band, must be exciting. Im a bit envious:p :o ;)

We probably won't start making anything till Friday. We're all pretty busy, plus I won't get my mic till tomorrow, and I have to work and do my homework and such, so I won't have anytime.

I've been playing guitar and drums since I was 14 (I am 21) and I've played several shows but it's very hard to find a band in my area (Shelby, NC). Almost everything here is either bluegrass, country or people just aren't serious or talented enough.

So for the last 2 years since I broke up with my last band I have been doing a lot of solo recording just kind of being solo I guess looking around for a band.

Bah :-|

i think wed all like to here whatever it is your up to acid. Got any mp3's?? sounds like a situation alot of us on here can relate to, at least i now i can.

So what do you play?

LOL well at least i know where to post them now. Since the music forum is hit with threads rather sparingly i think this thread will probably still be up when im done.

For those interested, im almost completely happy with the drumline for the first punky one. I still have yet to really start the drums for the second:o but im takin my time as drums are the hardest part for me and the instrument im usually least adapted to. For those who havent heard any Longinus yet, click on my sig to hear an instrument version of one of our older songs.


Oh and nice response evis, lol, you owned me.:p
