Do you like Metal??

Fat guitars and great bass tone. Has some Slayer - Machine Head vibe IMO. I'd call it very convincing ... if that makes any sense.
I'm not super excited about the drums tbh.
Strange thing, when I hear "Metal", I think mostly about Judas Priest et al. which is miles away from this stuff.

Man, it sounds killer! Love the late '80s thrash vibe, but the drummer's fills are a little bit off during some parts, specially on Demigod's solo section.
Keep it up!
Keep it up!
Thanks a lot I listen back at it and am a little disappointed, but it is a demo and it cost us barely anything to make so it is wat it is. I do appreciate the feedback!
Agree, my drummer is actually really good, this recording session really showed us all our flaws for sure. When we can get some money together, we can actually record in a better studio and have a better mix.
Thrash for life!!
I don't know metal really. When I was in high school I listened to Kreator, DRI, Sepultura, and stuff like that, but that was a long time ago. I watched the whole video while drunk and trying to cook food for myself and I can say this,: If I was there I probably would have gotten wasted and done a few beard windmills since I'm a balding 40 year old and hair windmills aren't in the picture anymore. Now I find myself in a metal band so I'm having a look at things these days and I can see things from a different perspective. You guys have a great foundation to start from and it is still early days. As for the comments about your drummer, it seems like he couldn't hear everything he needed to. I have had to deal with bad sound where I had to face my drummer at all times and all he had to go by was where I was on the fretboard. I don't doubt your drummer has his poopie figured out. If you will excuse me I shall strap on my drinkin' bib and get back to work. After all, I am your beer leader, Kim Jong Chug. Cheers from your northern Canadian neighbour.
Thanks for the input. We have 8 originals and working on more. The singer plays too so we are going to attempt having a rythm guitar for a beefier sound, as well as writing more. Trying to go on a different sound approach rather than sound like every other newer metal band. We shall see in the future and I will def post more tunes as we write
One of my fave musicians, easily. I'm also a huge admirer of his production work. Bit of a dream to record at God City (the waiting list is out the door, though...).
I really dig Nate Newton's playing and tone, too (although I think Kurt is responsible for the latter?). Nate's actually a guitarist, which I always think is pretty interesting. I like when musos from different disciplines cross over enough to come up with something a li'l diff.
Much thrashier than I expected for a band named Blood of Odin. Nothing Scandinavian about that sound. Much more NWoTM sounding.
