Both songs are great.

Queequeg
Well don't just sit there! get into it!!! laugh.gif

Cheers man!
Dillinger
Good work fella!
What bit do you do?

...Paradise Lost used to sound like this?
I saw them support Opeth and they were like a cheesy dance/rock hybrid with a Hetfield impersonator on the mic.

Get me: EARLY Paradise Lost. You know the albums Lost Paradise and Gothic? I lost my interest when they became a Pop Band. Many Paradise Lost fans don't even know those 2 albums exist.
Dillinger
Damn!

It was the drummer, he sounded like he was playing a drum machine in time to House/Techno music.

I play guitar, with the "lead" bits as and when, but few and far between.

I don't think we sound like Paradise Lost, well certainly not Gothic! But I guess I'm not gonna complain. They were a great band with exceptional live capabilities! Saw them back in the day during the gothic era many times.

We're a lot dirtier than PL... But I guess everyone hears different shit, so fair dinkums!

But thanks for the support guys.
Linus71
It was because of that lead guiter that reminded me of PL. That was their trademark.
Reminded - I did not mean that you actually do sound like them. Far from it, dude. smile.gif
Queequeg
Yeah fair play man. I can see where you're coming from! It is the melody! It's not like we were compared to Prince or The Bckstreet Boys, so I'm not complaining! ha!
Dillinger
I can hear a bit of Prince in there (his DOOM period).
Queequeg
Shit, we're busted.


Tonight we're gonna party like it's 1999!
Dillinger
Or his album

Sunn O the Times...classic
Queequeg
You should be on the telly!
Queequeg
Hey.

Check this shit!!!

Dillinger
Well Done ma son!
Thats a topside review ye got there, I hope it brings you more work.
Linus71
Great job, dudes!!! ohmy.gif
Queequeg
Thanks guys. We're fucking stoked with it.

Things are going great. We have some things in the pipeline that I can't discuss right now, but believe me I would love to shout it from the rooftops.

But this may serve as a distraction.

All we want is to travel far and wide and spread our dirty doom.
:wink:
Queequeg
Sorry to whore it guys, got some more coverage online!

Rattrameggeagoth
You guys rule.
HASHTHRASH
These songs rule hard. Bring this to the west coast sometime fucker! Play a show with Lidtoker and Asunder!
HERP DERP
Holy shit your from Cumbria? I didn't think we existed outside of our idyllic little cell.

Death metal isn't really my thing but the grooves/riffs and the way the ominous (but really tasteful) drums really cut above it all are great. This is probably my personal taste but the middle of Do What Thou Wilt seems too repetitive after that awesome beginning. You've definitely earned your mint cake there though.

Queequeg
Thanks guys!

Asunder fucking rule, obviously their split with G.A.S is blinding, but Come Clarion Call is well boss! Ask Chiyo... She digs us dude!

Remember we have the Bastard Noise remix coming very soon...

Hey S.S.S. You from sCumbria?

Where from?

The repeptiveness is whatever boils your piss, what we have here is a 4:4 riff that takes over a minute per riff. biggrin.gif but it does change, but the song in question is edited in half, so you think it is repetive...you ain't heard the half of it laugh.gif ha!
Rattrameggeagoth
Useless suggestion: I'm not a fan of effects in vocals, but I think the ones used in SunnO)))'s "It Took the Night to Believe" would fit some of your songs pretty well.
Queequeg
Black One is a fucking behemoth of a record.

Will they ever better that?

Pure evil. :twisted:

HOLY FUCKING SHIT! Where will this be, coming to the States by any chance?
Queequeg
Hiya peeps...

Grief have reformed as are starting with a European tour as I guess they are more popular in Europe (fanbase speaking) than the US. They are touring with Deathwish Thrashing Punkers Trap Them.

But I guess more US dates will appear, I know they are defo playing the Maryland Death Fest.

Cool cool, I would love to see you guys as well as Grief.

Thanks for the myspace page. Looks like they are doing quite a bit touring, both in the U.S. and Europe. I'm so excited right now, YOB and now Grief! I worship both these bands with my life.
Queequeg
Hahaa, well doubt we'll ever make it off this island!!!
Dillinger

Whats going on with you guys lately?
Queequeg
Ahhhhh, I just noticed this.

Well we recorded for a 7" and a 12" in september 2008.

7" was a cover song with another band and they dragged their heels a bit and are now off the project.

12" was supposed to be out on Land O Smiles Recs (NY) but the organising band split up so that fell into the wayside, had a few offers but held out for the best one (not in terms of what we could get but in terms of what the release could do for us. It will now be a split 10".

Other than tha, we supported Grief (yes, THE Grief) in November. Currently writing our next full length, recording date guesstimate is mid to late 2009.

Cheers man! Which one?

Pathogen is getting released any day as a remix by Bastard Noise with Eric Wood doing backing vocals on it also... Turned it from a 4 min song to a 10 min behemoth.

Cheers man.

The track "wilt" is only the first half... Which starts off real fast (by our standards) then slows right down. But the better half of the song is the second half is the best IMO.
