Alright folks, we're looking for a death vocalist to perform in our brutal death band as yet nameless, we are currently covering Dying Fetus and Severe Torture, also working on some of our own stuff but usually our jams end up being too crazy to remember! so if you can guttural like a motherfucker and love brutal death get in touch! There is a prospective gig in the near future(august) that we need vocals to be involved with so make it a.s.a.p!

Thanks for the advice guys, yeah hatevent your amp is fucking shit hot, i remember using it at the tunnels gig o_O easily the highest spec amp ive ever played. TBH im not feeling like i want a marshall, ive been looking at the H&K trilogy or the Warp X, dont spose anyones tried either of these out? Im thinking the Randall RM100m is out of the question cuz its too expensive preloaded and i dont know which modules id be after. I just need to try out a bunch i think, its just the more i find out the harder the decision seems to be getting! ?(

Im looking to get myself a PROPER amp thatll last me a few years and deliver the sounds i want. Ive narrowed my search down to a few amps in particular and was wondering if anybody had any opinions on the following which could help me narrow things down further : 1/ Marshall Vintage Modern (100w) 2/Peavey 5150/6505/+ 3/ ENGL Powerball 4/Randall RM100M 5/ ENGL ritchie Blackmore Im looking for versatility (i.e good clean and distortion at high volumes) due to the variety of sounds i use for Cranial (clean/delay/heavy) and i dont want any one particular sound i use to overpower the others. I know the best way to decide is to take your guitar to a shop and try some out but until i actually do this any advice you folks can share would be appreciated.

thats some funny shit

neither will wankers cramp

yeah the demos alright, i dont think the shooting feels as realistic as CoD, although the vehicles/larger environments/more strategy makes it a fun in a different way , more like frontlines: fuel of war style. I d say its definately better than that though!

Cranial are up for doing heavy themed gigs as well,i assume the 4th august would be the closest to heavy? also which venue are these gigs happening at?

thats funny, jake told me bands shouldnt play without a bassist, guess its ok when its HIS band....

yeah its easy to get burned by a member of the opposite sex and generalise that 'all woman are whores' or whatever.But Ill guarantee you wont find a decent woman if you maintain that state of mind, yes some woman are whores, same with guys, but theres way too many different people out there for generalised statements like that to have any truth in them.

yeah i suppose thats kinda obvious whats that unbroken you want to try out? that'd be np at all mate ...........

o_OAsk anyone who has met us in person what our attitudes like, your never gonna know from these pointless arguments on this site. I basically got told this site is for argueing, by your good buddy jake spike, funny i always thought it was for discussion but hey make it what you want. im sure we'l be fine with people judging us by our music/live performances, and not our views etc, music is for enjoyment!

well me and cranial seem to get plenty of completely unconstructive criticism from you and your 'I know it all, I AM THE MUSIC SCENE' attitude. Havent ever heard your band though, bet im really missing out. its a dangerous occupation on these boards to think for yourself, as i have discovered from the bullshit ive got from you on more than one occasion because i have an OPINION i thought up MYSELF..... And on the subject of people slagging off bands they dont like with the aim of gettin them to stop - Do you ever realise that some people might like the bands you dont, music is very much a matter of OPINION. I do see that there are current trends in music, which i personally dont like, but each musical genre has its own 'image' , its unavoidable. Even the 'anti-image' is still an 'image'. Remember in a shit overly cliquey music scene like aberdeen , bands of similiar genre have to stick together/help each other out. Being all aggressive and territorial about your 'scene'/area doesnt help anyone, including your own band.

Also remembering that the weekend show was supposed to have an out of town headliner, how many people were there to see them specifically i dont know. Was good that even though they didnt show up, it could still be a success with just local acts. I suggest that if an area has strong local acts (of any specific genre) that can pull in their own fans, major acts of that genre are more likely to be interested in playing because their guaranteed a sizeable audience. No bands worth their salt want to travel to a random city and play in front of 30 people, resulting in the monetary expense of the gig outweighing its profits. Aberdeens metal scene could definately expand considerably, theres a wealth of exciting new heavy bands around scotland at the moment, and like baz was saying the quality is definately on the up. If aberdeen locals continue to support their local talent more, theyl be more likely to be able to see their favourite international artists come to town as well. So hopefully the success of these last few gigs can continue! I want to see Cannibal Corpse in Aberdeen!

Bassist still required to complete four piece prog-death band. Influences range from death metal to progressive rock, Sounds are available on our myspace - MySpace.com - Cranial - Aberdeen, UK - Death Metal / Progressive - www.myspace.com/cranialdeath get in touch a.s.a.p if your interested.

yeah it was a surprisingly good turnout, thanks to Pryon for organising this one! Two proper heavy gigs in the space of four days, with only local bands playing(pretty much) is amazing to see. MORE! MORE! MORE!

man i wasnt throwing a strop about it, mainly responding to your comment from how i percieved it. If youd said anything else in your comment then i would of known what you were meaning, but obviously when i see our performance ,which we were happy with, being reduced to 'Cranial NEED a bassist',it makes a mockery of the work we've put in. I remember speaking to you about this on the night of the gig and if i came over slightly aggressive then it was probably because i) i was pretty pissed by then ii) youd said to dave(our singer) ,on the night, that we ' shouldnt be playing without a bassist' Obviously you saying that is gonna piss me off, because ,obviously,we are trying to find a bassist, and we're doing a few gigs because we're fed of sitting on a set of material we've spent years on. It would be pointless for us to not try moving forward because we havent found a bassist. If your band found a bassist easier then good for you, but we cant help the lack of people who like death metal and can commit to our project. Seriously id appreciate it if youd stop speaking about it now, unless your mentioning it to people who play bass. thank you. Cheers for sayin we have 'potentially strong stuff' though.

Holy shit Ror, thats crazy fast.

yes yes, i dont know whether you intend that as an " their quite good and would be proper good with a bass" , or "they shouldnt bother playin at all without a bass, they sound shite" . Assuming its the latter(seems more likely); its not as if we DONT think we need one, more that we CANT fucking find someone who'l commit , We decided( after years of looking for one without success) the best way to get someone interested is to get out there and play some gigs. We dont know how well our music went across on saturday but we enjoyed ourselves and were pretty happy with our overall performance. You never know, one day soon we might find a bassist and youl have to find something else to complain about jakey boy.

they are writing songs FOR twelve year olds, thats why their musics shit now! all the fans of their earlier stuff are too old(i.e not teenagers) for them to be a viable target market, cmon this IS metallica, they need ALL the kiddies money!

Metallica should just accept their fate, and roll over. Its been a long time since theyve made any 'real' metal. If they suddenly go back to being like Ride the Lightning/Master of Puppets/And Justice for all i would be very surprised.

yeah great atmosphere,brutal music, awesome gig.

its gettin closer, fuck yeah! i wouldnt say we're technical death metal though, more just progressive death metal, but hey, im not complaining 8-)

thats sounding cool,totally hard-hitting and the vocals are crazy

i never think my mp3's sound much worse than the proper CD version, really youd have to get pretty anal about it to notice, and if it doesnt sound AS good, at least i dont have to walk about with 150 cd's in my backpack........because its all on my mp3!

need i say more....... ivory blacks -8pm
