POWERMETAL![views:10273][posts:42]___________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 8:27pm - ArrowHead ""] I finally scraped together a clip of the powermetal stuff I've been working on. I did all the guitars, drums, and bass. The two shredding solos towards the end is my freind Darren Pierce. http://www.masscore.com/junk/pirate.mp3 I'm looking for anyone who's seriously interested in laying some tracks down for this project, and possible rehearse and gig periodically once there's enough material. I'm going to try to put out an album next year sometime. The bass position is filled, I believe, but any other instruments interested should contact me at petefrommasscore@hotmail.com . Singing ability is a plus, as there's going to be some heavy harmonies involved. Also, Beards are a plus, especially if you're short and look like a dwarf. |

Get the singer of Primal Fear somehow! Give us specs on what gear/software you used to record this.....wooooord! |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 8:35pm - BornSoVile ""] I'm the bass player. |

| __________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 8:38pm - brian_dc ""] nice...I love that middle piece where it opens up for the bass to move around a little...reminds me of Pain of Salvation a little |
| __________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 8:38pm - brian_dc ""] a little...I said "a little" twice |

Actually, the whole thing is like that. The part in the middle with the harmonies is actually the vocal arrangement. |

Give us specs on what gear/software you used to record this.....wooooord! I'm going to be handling the vocals myself for the most part. I got Chris from Encrimson'd to agree to lay down some of his classic peasant yells, and I'll be doing all the clean stuff. I love blind guardian, helloween, and savatage, so that should give you an idea what they'll sound like. Specs: Tracking + Mixing: Sonar 4.1 Mastering: Soundforge 7 Drums: Drumkit from Hell 2 Guitars: Line 6 guitarport (2.5), I use the soldano head exclusively, the rest sound like junk. Effects: The sonitus eq's and compression that comes with Sonar, and the PSP vintage warmer. If you only have $100 to spend, get the PSP. It's fucking amazing, makes whatever you pump through it sound more warm and analogue. Bass: I have a BassPod, but I actually just ran this through the guitarport and put the vintage warmer on it. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 9:21pm - ArrowHead ""] The next tune I'm working on is a cover song. I won't say which, but I'll give a hint. "Down by the lake, there's a shadow of grief. Dancing hand in hand with the devil, devil, devil, devil..." |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 9:47pm - thedeparted ""] yeah man, this is awesome |
| ______________________________ [Sep 21,2005 10:12pm - eli ""] Ok, if you're covering King Diamond songs, I want in. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 10:14pm - PatMeebles ""] If it's not too much of a hassle, I could do guitar 2, but my amp isn't the most metal set up at the moment. |
| ______________________________ [Sep 21,2005 10:26pm - eli ""] I saw it first, Pat. Remember Havok? That died fast... |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 10:28pm - PatMeebles ""] I didn't even notice your post above mine. Damn you!!! Are you selling any poweramps any time soon? |
| ______________________________ [Sep 21,2005 10:32pm - eli ""] Yea, I might be selling the rocktron one i got, I think it's the same one you tried the JMP through awhile back. I gotta see if I sell my Jackson first, and when I do all my back taxes I should get a good amount of money and then i'm gonna buy a mesa one. |

| ____________________________________ [Sep 22,2005 11:23am - ArrowHead ""] I never heard Pain of Salvation, but am interested in checking it out. Any suggestions on albums I should look for? Eli: Yeah, I'm doing guitar tracking on The Lake right now. The rest of the tunes will be a lot more Helloween/Blind Guardian/Falconer, but I just had to throw in the King Diamond tune. Darren's guitar style is very similar to Andy Laroque, and we've always jammed tunes like At the Graves and Sleepless Nights with me singing, and I've always wanted to record something so I can try to get all the vocal harmonies going. Of course, that's why I ended up picking the song with no vocal harmonies ... lol |

Holy poop. I just got both of those albums last night. These guys are awesome. I got BE too, but it's not as good. Another few I've gotten into lately: Edguy Metallium Olympos Mons Demons & Wizards |
| _____________________________ [Sep 29,2005 1:42pm - Eli ""] I just saw Edguy open for Hammerfall a few months ago, they were awesome. |

Another few I've gotten into lately: Edguy Metallium Olympos Mons Demons & Wizards remedy lane is my favorite. i love the perfect element and entropia too. one hour by the concrete lake is good, but not as good as the others in my opinion. BE is fucking terrible, but it has its moments of brilliance when daniel gildenlow isn't drowning it with his pretentious self love. the acoustic live album sucks for the most part too, especially in parts when gildenlow has someone else sing lead so he can do his wanky background vocals and show off his range. i really hope they return to good songwriting on their next album. |
| _________________________________________ [Sep 29,2005 1:50pm - DreamingInExile ""] HELL YEAH! I'll do this, I've been looking for a power metal band! I can do rhythm guitars and backing vox. for a drummer, find this kid Anthony (TSectPathogen on this board) he's freaking retarded behind the kit! |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 29,2005 1:59pm - dreadkill ""] you should get chris from powerglove to contribute. he's awesome. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 29,2005 2:00pm - Eli nli ""] back in high school like 6 years ago, me and my friend Johnny would drive around blasting King Diamond especially the Lake becuase of that great laugh he does in it |

| __________________________________ [Sep 29,2005 2:01pm - Eli nli ""] i just wanna play ANYTHING on that king diamond song |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 30,2005 12:10am - ArrowHead ""] That laugh in "The lake" is the part I'm having the most difficulty doing. It's so sinister and insane, but when I do it I just sound like a little girl. |

| _____________________________________ [Sep 30,2005 12:30am - anonymous ""] I wish i was not in so many bands, id want in this too, drums, guitars, whatever, this is sheerly brilliant! ...Gemini |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 30,2005 1:07am - ArrowHead ""] Drums? |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 21,2005 1:59am - PatMeebles ""] So, what ever happened to this? |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 21,2005 8:11am - Kinslayer ""] Dude, this is pretty fucking good. I'd do some session shit with you or even play live... |
| _______________________________ [Oct 21,2005 3:52pm - eddie ""] need a bagpiper for an intro or something? |
| ______________________________________________________________ [Oct 21,2005 3:56pm - babyshakedoesnt feel like loggin in ""] dude this is pretty bad ass shows must happen!!! |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 22,2005 12:56am - BornSoVile ""] i'm working lots of nights and havn't talked to mistah arrowhead about this. i motion for a session before the end of the year... |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 22,2005 1:23am - PatMeebles ""] Hell, if an actual band practiced, I could try vocals. Hitting the notes isn't the issue. It's how I sound (never heard myself hit notes in a high range played back in a recording) |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 23,2005 6:19pm - ArrowHead ""] This is still happening, but writing is a bit slow right now. Pillory is practicing more again, work is busy, and I ran out of weed. For the people who have expressed interest, I'd really like to be able to give everyone (who can pull it off, of course) a chance to get in on the tracking process. I'm going to stick to one bassist and one drummer on the recordings, but there's room for tons of guitars, vocals, and keys. |

I was looking into renting/borrowing some amps for final guitar tracking. I have the same problem. Right now all I have is a guitarport, I don't even have an amp. |
| _____________________________________________ [Oct 23,2005 7:43pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] This sounds interesting, I havent' really been satisfied by any power metal bands from this area so I wish you guys the best! ExAgenda was talking about doing a power metal band in the near future as a side project. I assume we'd let Megan sing and Brian and I would do guitars, etc. I must have hundreds of power metal riffs backed up that I've never gotten to use. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 26,2005 9:54am - ArrowHead ""] YEAH! I was working on my search for vocalists and tried a longshot. I emailed marc lopes, the guy who sang in Hammersmyth, Sleeping Giant, and current singer of Trigger Effect. (www.myspace.com/triggereffect). One of the best singers I've heard. He just emailed back that he'd be interested, so I'm a lot less worried about finding a vocalist now. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 27,2005 12:21am - kessaris ""] yo, I was digging that. If I weren't so caught up with 3 Headed Monster and Mortencia right now I'd think about auditioning. Once you get your shit together give us a hollar http://myspace.com/3HeadedMonster my email is CKess316@hotmail.com. We should do some shows together |
