Daniel Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 i think your singer is trying to sound exactly like amy lee, which makes the entire band sound like evanescence, it lacks originality in my opinion. on a good note; i like the guitar layers, the drums are pretty good , but the recording of the drums sounds really flat and also abit low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aint_it_fun Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 ...Your guitarist sounds exactly like the drummer from Johnny's Funky Kollosus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKMartin Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 I don't really like it. It's very derivative, sounds an awful lot like an awful lot of other bands. Needs a certain spark - something new, fresh, original. And your singer seems to lack confidence. The vocals are a bit murky.Finally, the guitars could have been tuned a bit better in the "quiet" bit.AKM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 I think the vocals sound strained, like the song is in a key that is too low for her voice to be properly projected. It sounds like she isnt very comfortable singing down there. I agree with what has been said it lacks that spark, the song kinda roll away and you lose interest after a while. The drum sound is pretty poor as well but as you say it is a demo. Also one of the earlier guitar solos has a lot of wrong notes or badly played notes, i know its a demo but it should be played better imo.There are some nice bits but overall i just think it lacks any great imagination or creativity to really make me want to listen to anymore, and i really get the evenecense(sp) feeling off it.

Since then we've sat down and gotten guitars sorted. Rachael is much more comfortable now, she's gaining confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MDP Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 that demo is good,but does them no justice!!! i have seen TOG live 3 times, and they are always fantastic, rae is a fantastic singer, ben an amazing drummer, gary kicks ass on bass, and colin is imense on guitar, so if u really wanna hear TOG at their best, come along to the tunnels on friday the 29th july at 7:30, and see for yourselfs!!

Dinosaur Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 The tunnels was a pretty decent gig although I thought the Drummonds gig was better, maybe cos of the larger crowd? or maybe just cos i prefer Drummonds This time I felt, however that the vocals were slighly louder than before (volume wise) which I thought was a lot better. I feel sometimes that it is sounds like a competition between Gary, Colin and Ben to see whos loudest and Rae is sometimes left out. Maybe its just cos I heart Rae's singing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circadian Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 I think you guys are cool, i love the energy that is apparant in the songs you write. your vocalists singing is really good and i think that if anyone took the time to think about it it takes a lot of nerve to get up there and sing with that kind of voice because unlike most styles its actually singing not screaming, rapping and the like. So you go on wit ya bad self , my only advice would be to maybe to not seem so self-concious, maybe jump around a bit, but hey if thats not your bag then nevermind. As for the demo, lets be realistic people its not like they'll of had the money to splash out on a three week recording session. its the feel of the music you gotta listen to not the recording quality especially at this early stage. But i do go on so let me leave you with this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_1903 Posted August 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Thanks.As the drummer, I can't do alot of jumping about...but i always give it my all.Gary and colin ove around on stage...rae needs to gain confidenceps - the gig on friday was a tad of a disaster.

NARC Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I can't believe there is so much positive feedback on this thread! I saw Tears of Grace at the Tunnels and they were the most pathetically unoriginal, dreadful metal band I have ever had the misfortune to see. Dumb riffs, couldn't stay in time, pointless female singer and to cop it all, their very own version of the "One" solo, badly played with a few notes altered.Sorry if that's offensive, it's not personal, but I cannot stand brainless metal with childish set-piece moshing to accompany it. Your minds have been warped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
