Hey guys a while ago I posted a video of a crappy computer mic recording of my band. This sunday we went to a really good home studio around here, the guys do live sound at The Hershey Center and the Giant Center around here. We got the mastered track today and just put it on our myspace, I'd like any feedback about it.

I had to cut through 2 guitars but I'm really happy with it

not a huge fan of this style. definitely not of lyrics like that either (just my opinion though)
I'm more into melodic death metal.

Anyway, i have to say, great tone. Really cut through nicely. would you mind telling us a bit about your gear, EQing, technique, etc?

Sounds pretty good. Everybody needs to tighten up a little more so that it sounds like a big wall of sound rather than 2 guitars and a bass competing for space. How do the death metal drummers play those blast beats? I've always wondered that.

Haha actually, its a funny story about the vocals. I was driving with our drummer and guitarist in the car and we agreed that he should do lower gutteral vocals. Then during practice he was like hey guys, check this out, then let out this brutal chris barnes gutteral scream. Im playing on a warwick vampyre rockbass 5 string, dr hi beams uptuned to c# through a Hartke HA4000 head. We payed $75 for this entire recording, and are planning to do 3 more songs there for a demo.

Me and the drummer are both 16, and been playing our instruments for almost half our life. He's Norwegian and speaks it to his parents and listens to a lot of black metal. So after 7 years of drumming mostly to black metal, those blasts come naturally. It helped me improve on my speed, because we often only did bass and drum black metal sessions in his small room haha.
