i have since been replaced in this band, but my vocals are still up. <!-- w --><a class="postlink" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.myspace.com/aota666">www.myspace.com/aota666</a><!-- w --> listen to Cigarettes and Hollow Eyes.
 
I kinda liked Cigarettes although at times your voice reminded me of when Gollum from the Lord of the Rings said his own name...but I think that is characteristic of most heavy metal singers. The beat was good though. Not sure about the lyrics to your devil musik, lol. :lol:
 
i can take negative remarks. but considering i'm serious about bettering my music, constructive criticism, instead of a simple bashing would be nice. thanks.
 
In the interest of fairness I actually went back and listened again, and I regret it. Not recording with a Yak Bak in mom's garage is a good first step. The constant guitar screeching is pretty awful too. It can be good if used well, but in this case it feels like it was just thrown in because screeching and power chords = METAL. Bad lyrics. Godawful vocals. Honestly, as a whole it's so bad I really can't offer much in the way of advice other than quit while you're ahead. There are enough good bands out there struggling to get noticed, and the world really doesn't need another bad, generic wannabe metal band out there shitting things up.

If you're serious about improving get a vocal coach, learn how to write better lyrics and find some guys who have at least a basic grasp of what good music sounds like. Pool your money for an actual studio and record some real tracks. You don't even need that many. Just enough to put on demo CDs to create some buzz. Keep working to improve, play live as often as possible, and use every spare second to practice.

If you do that, maybe, maybe you'll have something that won't make all ten people at the dive bar you're playing at feel sorry for you and you might get noticed by someone who matters. Like I said before though, there are so many really amazing bands out there going absolutely nowhere that I doubt chances are any better for you. Not being a dick, just realistic.
 
this was recorded in a storage unit, early on in my time with this band. we all improved considerably. regretfully, we weren't able to record again before i was replaced. and we actually got booked for some good gigs, and got great response. but thank you for the advice. while it doesn't really help, i appreciate the effort.
 
I love it when people ask for advice, and then make excuses about why they won't take it. I'd be willing to bet a recording exec would tell you to the same thing I just did, only much less politely, assuming they even gave you the time of day at all. But hey, fuck 'em right? Keep on rocking those storage units.
 
lol. yes, ok. let's forget for a minute that i've played in front of crowds of a few hundred and never gotten a negative response. what you said is right, and we knew that. that's why we did alot to improve our sound. i love smug people. really, i do.
 
You're getting one now, and I'm not the first. I sincerely doubt everyone who has heard you likes you. Again, you asked how you could improve. I told you. I'm glad you love smug people, because you certainly are one. Your music sucks. Get over yourself.
 
I never felt all that bad to begin with. Thanks though. Sorry you can't handle honest criticism from a stranger on the internet. Have fun with your horrible music that will go nowhere.
 
i handled your criticism just fine, i just wanted to mess around a little. but thanks for the insults. they made me lol. have fun with... well whatever talent you may have.

The guitarist sounded like he was just practicing what could eventually turn into a song. If this is recording-worthy, practice must be godawful. The drummer sounded like a homeless man beating on buckets on a streetcorner for change, and the band seemed to mostly ignore him. The vocalist couldn't sing. Or write lyrics.

You want to improve? Swap out the whole band for people that actually have, you know, talent.
 
I wanted to die....sorry but just stop....your guitarist is ass...and ur vocals are just disgusting...there's no feeling in this music...not to mention the beat in all ur songs were just off ..the vocalist is always singing the same tune....like this is really just trash.... I've heard some bad amateurs before but this is just the worst....Please for the sake of all humanity stop...or fucking practice....either one is good... At least the vocalist could have sounded like something...maybe give the band some hope for its future. Dammit that was just horrible...I can't get over how bad it was....ewww.... >.>
