  1. Ross, ive been in Ascension for about a year now :p lol.

    im really happy with against the flame, i know a lot of people dont go for power metal vocals, but never mind :)

    next we are doing " The time machine " ( i THINK ) wait till you hear that!!...we have some amazing ideas for that songs recording....

  2. please contact me on Rickicaz1279@hotmail.com

    my band, Ascension, after a few rough patches are looking for our comeback gig with our new drummer and may be interested in playing, check out one of our songs - www.soundclick.com/ascensionUK ( click on music, then click HI-FI on the top file, to listen to Fortress)

    need to check with other band members first but im 90% sure we will be able to play :) if you want us lol

  3. Be i a Legend or no :p ill still do a bit of singing for your 8bit project if u want some male vocals in there somewhere, for a few tracks like you said or something. im quite musically diverse, if your going for the emo sort of style with this 8bit project ill easy sing some soft melodic parts for you sometime

  4. on the vocals, yeah i was consdiering doing the last verse again, holding the high notes just dont cut it with me lol.

    and yes, it is a drum machine! i was wondering if anyone would notice :p yes we do have a real drummer though, our old drummer ( wayne scorge ) left not to long ago, just as we were about to record, but even before he left, it was decided that software drums was the way forward for the demo! they have been tweaked a lot to sound more realistic, and its worked really well! but dont worry, we are in the process of teaching up our new drummer ( Theo robertson - New Debassed drummer/ old Descended Drummer ) all of our songs, and should be gigging in a couple of months again...and of course, once this demo is finished. expect much more from the other songs! fortress is by far not our best song, and its already proving to be quite popular. especially on soundclick.com where we remained in the top 10 unsigned metal bands for quite a while.

    anyway, i hope the rest of you guys enjoy fortress to :) and all the feedback is good guys! some good constructive critisizm! im glad to see people are giving good honest opinions, and not turning the mistakes into a huge post war about how rubbish they think we are lol.

  5. yes indeed, we split the costs equally amongst the band and bought a number of high quality recording equipment, and set it up in docs house, its worked so well! Docs done all the mixing himself

    on note of the keyboards, yes i did suggest to doc they be louder...but he didnt want them to sort of dominate the whole song, if you know what i mean, just a light little touch in the background is all we wanted from them, as we dont yet have synths in our live set.

    and yes there is bass lol, although its very difficult to hear, but if you try listening to the mix before we added the bass line you can DEFINATLY hear the difference....unfortunatly i cant show you that, as we never finalized a mix without bass...but trust me, its there and its doing what we wanted it to do :)

    its taking a lot longer to finish the demo due to everyones tight schedules, and the amount of time it takes to get everything juuuust right, we will hopefully have our 2nd song, The time machine for you all to listen to in about 3 weeks or so, maybe sooner. we expect the demo to be about 4 - 5 songs...

    as said we have all our own, paid for recording gear now therefore time is no obstacle for us, were taking our time on this one, so were happy with what we are putting out there, and as a result, hopefully everyone else will be to :)

  6. Hi guys...i know us Ascension boys might not be so popularat the mo, but weve been working really really hard on our new demo, and we have a completed song for you to listen to and see the dramatic leap we have taken from our old demo!

    anyways, This song is Fortress, and if you like it, please visit our forum on www.ascensionband.co.uk

    oh yeah and dont say " its crap " just because its not your style lol :p people have a habit of that these days...

    when you click the Link click on the Top one, and Click HI-FI to listen :) or if you already have a soundclick account you can download the MP3
