Fast Caz Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Tell you something you guys are sounding good these days, keeping it heavy is what i like to see.its quite a stereotypical metalcore or emocore fitever you guys call it but it works all the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Just sounds like a low budget version of Killswitch Engage to me. But hey, what do I know.Certainly on a local band level it's better than most things out there though. Great effort and look forward to seeing it performed live.

Dead_Fashion Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 its shame that absolutely everyone in the aberdeen area knows or has heard of the name 'my minds weapon' or seen the 'weapon' t-shirts or whatever... cause they're all right, its just they are really over hyped.

It's a dying shame, because we're going to be the best band in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thousands of pounds of promotion, relates to a mass audience of millions, the Aberdeen version is a few hundred (the majority of whom, probably use these message boards...) So in context, it is possible to be over hyped... just in a much smaller scale.I think the tracks are good. There are bts which don't really do it for me, but overall, decent tracks... Certainly of a higher standard than a lot of local recordings, for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A band posting a link to an mp3 and a few locals making comment (posative and negative) is not hype (over or otherwise) there is no point in a band going to the bother of recording something and keeping it a secret.

Johnny Mac Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Jesus. People on here take things far too seriously.If you don't like the band, don't listen to them.This site is littered with cocks. Big ones at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulDW Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Not really Dead_Fashion... And you have no need to be sorry GraemeC, you're voicing an opinion. I wasn't talking about this thread, this isn't hype, this is just a band looking for some comments/feedback on their own music. And good for them, its what I would do with recordings my bands makes. I was just menaing 'hype' in general... It can be relevant in all kinds of situations. But, if a band has got themselves in a position where people are buying tickets to see them on a regular basis, and people are wearing their T-Shirts, or travelling to see them play, or downloading their MP3's or whatever, then good for them... Cause you don't get much better promotion than that! That's not a bad thing... sure it might get a little annoying to some folk, but there's no harm in the band doing it.You are right, Im taking this far too seriously! hehe... *stops* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stuartmaxwell Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 overhyping is the way to go, piss off your local scene and rarely play there again.which means you avoid all of the shit that flys about and it means you end of playing out of town more and concentrate on making music rather than thinking about impressing the scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead_Fashion Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 ok let me explain it then if you both dont know... you release a link to music which your about to sell in the near future... surely that gets people excited about the end product.anyway this is a level argument, its not like i hate the guy... dont really understand why johnny mac posted that comment.all is true though paul mmw havnt really been spoken about... maybe their just good at hype... either that or im 'banging into' just the right people...edit:i have to have the worst grammar on the planet.

I wasn't so keen on the drumming I have to say, at places it didn't sound very fluent, but thats very nit picky. The guitars are well worked, and vocals were sounding good. In general though, not really my taste in listening, but certianly nowhere near painful on my ears! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
