Too bad to hear, Herakles.
I was hoping on some kind of cooperation with you for a forum metalband.

That pleases me to hear, man. I have a lot of inspiration the last few months. Don't know what's happening to me lately. Probably bitten by some metalvirus, I guess.
Quote: "I don't mean to sound overly critical, but the drums are so over the top it makes it hard to hear the awesome guitar riffs."
Well, I could tone them down a bit. I like to hear every instrument in a song, but yeah, the drums need some adjusting.
And, to hear that you find my guitarriffs awesome, is a great compliment, especially since you're a fellow guitarist. Thanks!
Quote: "Also, the "grunt" in the latest one gave me a chuckle (the good kind of chuckle)."
Hahaha, that made me laugh. Glad you enjoyed it.
Quote: "was gonna comment on the drums, too, but not necessarily "so over the top"; more like "a bit much". i'd go for a few less cymbals @ :30 and :45, et al, and a bit lower/deeper drum."
Yeah, they definately need a small 'face-lift'.

Those cymbals are a bit too loud, I agree. But, I think the overall sound needs some remixing, because I still have to add the vocals and the guitarsolo's too. Lowering the volume of the bassdrum, will automatically reduce the brightness of them. But, I think that bassdrums are very important in metalmusic (or any other kind of music) to give structure to a song, so I'm trying to keep them clear, but not too much.

Great drummer, and GREAT band! Too bad Chuck past away. Do you mean the speed of the bassdrums that is too high?
Quote: "btw, i always enjoy checking in on this thread. the slayer always makes me smile with whatever he offers here, but i'm looking forward to someone else working with him on a song or 2"
That comment warms my metalheart! And, I'm glad to make you smile with my music, and best of all...to keep this place rockin'...!
And, yeah...where are all those talented metalfreaks who like to join and make an awesome metalband for this forum??
Mad Nightmare is willing to do the vocals together with me (I guess he still does?), so anyone who likes to contribute (guitarists, bassist, drums, keyboard, pretty women,...

), just say so...
Cheers
Slayer rules!!! Yeaaah, man!
