hopefully this massive management change means it will be run a wee bit better. hope so.

That was indeed the mighty Ascension Veeeery different band from what you probably seen whenever you last seen us glad you liked it though! theres a wee video of our second song, Reflected life, from saturday night posted here - Ascension on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

aye come one come all!! Some real fucking metal going on tonight!

jesus christ im not surprised its banned! More music vids should be like this! hahaha, that may as well be my porn dosage for the day...

Im severely intoxicated when i write this, so it may be pulled by myself at some point... But somewhere int he back of my mind i want to get some sort of Glam/hair/sleaze rock/metal band going Im currently vocalist in power metal band Ascension, and anyone whos seen us wil know ive got wads of stage presence and a ridiculously High vocal range in fullvoice and falsetto, and my voice would totally suit some sort of glam/metal thing Thinking like Nitro, motley, steel panther kinda thing I kinda want musicians who are good, have big hair, and are up for looking stupid on stage and going mental. Just throwing it out there! anyone mad for it?

Yo guys just throwing this out there, if theres anyone putting on a halloween metal night in Aberdeen, Ascension are mad for playing! we dont play the deen very often anymore, to much commitments down south etc, but we'd be tooootally up for a halloween shindig so if anyones arranging one, or whatnot....just throwing our name out there for yer consideration - Ascension on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads Hair-oic Power Metal!! - Cominatcha!!!

Negura bunget are a bit gash like lol..not sure where that whole scene arrived from, nevermind....hoping to melt some faces with a new Gamma ray cover at this gig, anyone a Gamma ray fan? good ol Kai Hansen, cant beat em!

Any of you guys realise this thread ended a year ago ? i daresay things have probably changed lol

crackin poster! come on doon for this guys, its gunna be a belter!

aye tunnels sounds good, very fair function rental price, when i put on a few metal nights it was usually about 60 quid to hire tunnels, dunno if prices have changed tho! tunnels is a nice dark atmosphere, so its good for that sort of thing,

thats awesome! its good to mix things up sometimes, really hope you get some sort of project started!

Not really in a position to start another band atm haha buut i sing in an established Melodic power metal band, with some kamelot/arctica vein in there...and when we do our new album next year, we're thinking of having some female vocals in a few songs so maybe if your floating about then il see if your up for something like that - Ascension on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

Christ im the same with PA's, sometimes i can find a kick ass setting though i generally just have about low - 3, Mid- 5, High - 7/8, whack on wads of reverb ( akin to my vocal style ) sometimes if the PA is gash tho ill boost the low ends a bit higher. generally though i dont know what the fuck im doing though, so all that above was just a huge waste of time writing really.

Oh yes, may also be looking for another band to play...if one hasnt been found yet, not sure, post here if interested to.

A few months ago, a very talented group of post-rock individuals called You Already Know, From Glasgow, came up to gig at Celler 35 on there short UK tour! upon arriving, and finding out the band supporting had pulled out, they needed a support act quick! they walked into the very first practice room at Captain Toms, and stumbled upon Scottish Power Metal Warriors, Ascension! and called upon their allegience to see them through the night at Celler 35, Ascension were glad to help! and thrashed out a Power Metal extravaganza for their new found glaswegian friends, and Celler 35 Witnessed a decimating combo of Post-Rock and Power Metal, which few survived hahaha. This allegience will be put to the test once more! You Already Know, and Ascension team up once more to rock Celler 35, in a night of madness!! See the below info if this tickles your fancy Bands: You Already Know, Ascension Venue: Celler 35, Rosemount viaduct, Aberdeen Entry: Free! i think.... Time? Around 9pm! Apologies for the cheesy intro! but had to be done, if you fancy this, see ya there!

i heard shulu was becoming a warehouse lol just a rumour?

its probz to late to mention this is being aired in like 17 minutes lol

haha youll be pleased to learn that it doesnt its a one off like, not our usual style, lot darker and battley, and raspy. from the darker days of Ascension.

who are you to say who or indeed, what i can and cannot fuck

cheers for the comments in regards to recording, we went to seagate and did drums and vocals for both the 12 minute song, and our new song time for war in a 4 hour sesh at 25 quid an hour we took the cubase files home, and recorded all guitars through a Marshall JMP-1 and a peavey power amp rack, with a randall Cab and SM57 mic, through a presonus firebox and just straight into cubase Did bass through a BOSS GT-10 bass sound processer, DI'd, but that didnt work to great...gunna try something else next time we did DI the guitars as well for double effect, but there were cross-phasing issues we couldnt resolve with the time we had :/ went back to seagate with everything, did a 4 hour mixing and mastering sesh, and also greame at seagate did about 4 hours mixing in downtime coz he liked the music so much so yeah it wasnt to bad a deal! spread it out a good bit, probably going to be recording our guitars using rocktron preamps next time, and experimenting with better guitar tones, thats the one thing we werent to chuffed with, and it was our own fault. but its nae to bad!

mon n spare 12 minutes! haha i know its a lot to ask, but it really is worth it ( for metal fans anyway ) i hope... 118 views, nae comments! git a move on

Also stole this handy wee website from the hijacks post The single ( Durin's bane + time for war ) can be downloaded for free directly from here as a .rar file http://www.filefreak.com/files/35698_mpprg/Durins%27%20Bane%20Single.rar

so here it is... we've put a bucket of shit load of effort into this one. 4 years after its creation, our 12 minute dark Epic, Durin's Bane, has been fully revamped, reproduced, and re-recorded at Dundee's awesome Seagate Studio Durin's bane, as some of you will know, is a lord of the rings themed song. depicting the story of the dwarves of Moria, awakening the ruthless balrog, and subsequently, King durin's death, hence the name, Durin's bane! it also depicts the epic battle between gandalf and the balrog to! mmmmmm lovely cheese. Its a little different from our traditional power metal stance, its a lot darker, has a lot of orchestral synths, some celtic folkys melodies, and some dark battle metal style vocals in it, and a couple of voiceovers here and there, and a haunting mid section. The song will be relased on a 2 track single, with our other new recording, Time for war! as a promotional CD, which we will be giving away for free at gigs etc etc, will also be released as a free download! and TIme for war will be aired on a good few radio stations, including Northsound one in the coming weeks! its 12 minutes long, yes thats quite long, but if you think you might like this, i really suggest you check it out, its our BEST recording to date, quality wise at least! and we spent as much studio time on this as a band would do on perhaps a 4 track EP. Hope you guys can give us some feedback - Ascension on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads
