Anyone else than me into metal around here? ^^ I love the music I work with, and it's fun to share it with people who share my interest.  Here's my latest piece.  It's mostly a vocals test though. I recorded the vocals in 3 layers. The results weren't perfect, but I kinda like the effect. ^^ |

That shot there could be the album cover or CD cover. I like some metal. A guy I work with is in a metal band and sometimes plays his tapes while we're doing work.

You play hardcore metal. Your band does concerts and performs in clubs, right?

One of my bands is releasing a demo soon, and in May we'll be doing one or two concerts in a city just under 100 miles north from here, together with a brutal death metal band called Cockrot. |

Wow......that's a little hard for me.
I'm more of a Metallica (old Metallica, not the new age Garage Band stuff), Nirvana, GnR groupie.
A little deeper and you'd sound like Deathklok.

I'm mostly a Cannibal Corpse, Six Feet Under, Mortician, some Lamb of God and Opeth addict. ^^

I'm a 70s and 80s rock listener. Cannibal Corpse? I knew Chris Barnes a little bit. I know that George Fisher replaced him. Those guys were pretty intense.

You actually knew one of CANNIBAL CORPSE? How does one meet those guys? Is he from your area? That's amazing. Did he try to eat everybody? I am only kidding. But Cannibal Corpse sang about eating people.
I did notice you have a scar on your chin did Barnes take a bite out of you? ;D

Yeah. Don't get me out of context he wasn't my next door neighbor. But we ran in some of the same circles in the early 90s. Friends and I would party at Allighaney and him and a band member Bob Russay would often be there.
Wow could those guys smoke weed. Barnes had a 81 or 82 T Bird and their band sold some records he got a new Cavelier right after that. His ashtray was fillled with roaches. HE must have smoked them like a cigarette going down the street. He would smoke them like cigarettes at the parties.

Unfortunately the reputation of a Rocker holds up in this particular case.
That's kind of nervy if he walked around burning a Joint as if it was just like any cigarette. But I have heard stories like that about some people. And if it was in an isolated part of Allegheny Park it would be hard for him to get caught.

I don't care much for Barnes' attitude towards drugs, or for his vocals for that matter. x] He sounds like he's mooing or something.  I actually did a vocal cover of one of his songs two months ago though, just to prove that I can. George Fishers vocals are awesome though. I'd do pretty much anything to be able to shake his hand. ^^, He's the only vocalist in the world who can display such power. |

I think they're called Mass Casualty but I'll have to ask him again.
I have to say besides what I told you Barnes was a very nice guy to talk to. I woudln't want my kids to be subject to a guy who smokes week so freely but at that time I was a kid. About 19 and 20 years old. His band sang 'Devouring Maggots.'

The Eagles are my favorites I think. I'm a little flexible on music but not real flexible.

I have a hard time understanding what theyre saying with the really hard metal music. I can appreciate what it must take to be able to sing that way though.

Hehe, the basics of the technique is easier than it sounds Kimm. ^^ But making it sound powerful and good takes a lot of practice. The easiest way to learn it is to think about the sound you make when youre tired after a long day, and you just drop down on the couch and go "urh". The vibrations created in your throat when you do it are the basics of the technique. |
