PRETENSE 1st track from our demo

[VulfgangPfuck]

OK...this may have confused some of you when I posted it under my other "Snippet" thread.

This is the FULL VERSION of the song "HEADGAME" from our 3 song demo, hot off the press!

It's me and the wife doing the "metalcore growl" in the background vocals....LOL! Gimme some feedback and let me know what y'all think! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Very cool!! [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] The background growling sounds like Chuck Billy and Eric Peterson together! Though, the vocals seem to be a little loud and overpowering the music a little, IMO. [img]graemlins/band.gif[/img]

Dude, your singer kicks ass. And I don't even like that style of vocal. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Not a single "and the dragon comes in the NIIIIIIIIIGHT!" style high-pitched squeal. He doesn't sound like he's been neutered. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Badass song in general, really. That snare HAS to go though. Yikes.

I was quite proud of the crack I got out of it!
(not the crack you smoke....the crack of the snare drum!...LOL). Funny...the singer USED to sing with high-pitched squeals and stuff...then we told him think "Phil" (Anselmo)...and the transformation happened...LOL!

I think the snare sound is cool! The more I listen to it, I think the singer sounds like a cross between Phil Anselmo and Bobby Ellsworth from Overkill. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

The snare just doesn't have any BODY to it. The snap's fine, but there isn't and THUD behind it. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Thanks Dave, Ron and Joe! [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

BM....I hear ya about the snare...your ear doesn't betray you! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ...it's a steel-shelled piccolo snare I used...If I had used my 14x8 maple Tama snare, that body would've been there.
