Hey guys,
This is the last song from our latest EP. The track is called Groove in A and features two guest solos. Pin from the band Sikth and Martin Goulding from the band Linear Sphere.
www.myspace.com/thesafetyfire
The solos in order are
Martin Goulding - 5:31-5:53
Myself (Derya Nagle) - 5:53 -6:04
Pin - 6:05-6:27
Our EP is also now available to buy as a download only EP from
http://www.trackseller.com/artistdisplay.php?id=1643
It is only £3 (4 Euros, $6 dollars roughly), so if you are digging please do buy the EP!! We can't sell it through a label as its only 3 tracks, but it is 20 minutes of music!
End of shameless self advertising.
Cheers!

AWESOME track! :D
Not even gunna bother asking how you got Pin to do a solo for you - Way too cool.
I recognise the name Martin Goulding for some reason, but I've never heard his band :s
I guess you recorded it?
-
Good stuff man.
It's not exactly my cup of tea but I can appreciate it's good-ness. :)
The section of DMB about "pupils so wide open" or something though, is just IMMENSE. Like I'm talking one of my favourite sections of any song ever...

Seriously. :lol:

This is great, way better than all the popular metal you see on tv and stuff. I may have to buy your EP at some point, what tracks does it have on it?
-
Hey cheers guys!
Sambo, I guess you like that part a lot!!
Tom, the tracks are Groove in A, DMB and Spoilage. Three quite different songs. It is 20 minutes for those 3 songs by the way!
-
Awesome stuff yet again mate! Love the clean vocals.
Fantastic solos all around, I'd heard Martin Gould's one on your soundclick a while ago, but I assumed it was you! He has an awesome vibrato.
Pin's is very typical Pin. It's very cool, do you know if he double tracked the harmonies, or if it was pitchshifted? I'd be very interested to hear what Dan would have played...
Very tidy speedpicking in your solo, loving the note choice. I assume it was the Blackmachine?
I'm trying to buy the EP but it says the album is in maintenance. I'll try again a bit later.
-
Hey cheers man,
The EP should be okay for download now, try it out, if not give me a mail and I shall sort it out!
Yeah Pin's solo was pitch shifter for the harmonies. Could imagine harmonising it would be a pain in the arse! Martin is on a different level, he is pure ridiculous, I wish I had his technique! Yeah for my solo I used my blackmachine into my Pod XT, was going to reamp but I felt the tone worked well having a different sound to the other two solos.
-
By some bizarre spackishness on my part, I've managed to pay for and download your EP twice... Anyway, it's awesome so I don't mind!
Might have a go at tabbing DMB, it's in drop-D right?
Once I get mine, we should definitely have a blackmachine jam!
-
Ordered.
It cost 4.53 Euro (approx. $10 USD). That's a bit steep in American dollars for a non-mechanical EP.
Downloading em now. Will report back once I've burned em to a CD an play em through my at-work rig (Cambridge Audio CD player, Creek 4330 amp, Acoustic Energy bookshelf spkrs, Nordost cables). Won't get to play em through my at-home rig until the weekend, though. D'oh!!
-
Thanks so much for buying a copy, TO, it is much appreciated. I didn't realise it would cost so much in dollars, and I didn't realise about that extra charge either! I will be emailing the supplier about that.
What is the exchange rate to the dollar at the moment? 4 Euros is £3 im pretty sure, so i thought it would of been around $6.

No worries, dude -- support the underground or you are a poseur b!tch!
Report ---
Wow, chuggariffic.
Track 3 is very 'Opeth'. I appreciate it, but didn't like it as much as the other 2, which I felt were more 'pure'.
Track 2 is my runaway favourite of the 3; played it a few times in a row to soak in all those time changes.
Edit ---
Besides the obvious love and work that went into the package as a whole, I thought I would point out that for an 'amateur' recording, how much I appreciate the fact that the vocals are IN KEY!!!!
Too many vocalists that that just because they are grunting, growling, or screaming, that they can follow whatever the hell key the wish. (Are you listening, Dani Filth?!!!!)
A small thing to most people, but to this pitch-monger, I really appreciated the singer's ability.
Some ppl may think that what he's doing requires no actual technique, but they would be wrong.
Kudos! I give this EP a 4.5 out of 5.

downloaded and listening now. impressive so far!
-
This is pretty damn nice, guitars are brutal, love the vocals as TO said, so many vaguely talented cookie monster vocals going nowadays it's nice to have something where you can hear the lyrics and the singing talent.
I might just have to get this :D
-
Downloaded the EP, sounds fine in windows media player but when I put it into itunes it sounds like its clipping really badly for some reason :? Any ideas? I hope my headphones arent knackered :\
-
I had no issues in iTunes or burned down to a CD.
-
hm weird. Like I said it sounds fine in media player so I guess it cant be my headphones or speakers? I dont have a volume boost or anything in the itunes eq so it cant be that.. I'll try a cut in the itunes preamp bit to see if that does anything, if not I guess my soundcard is knackered? Been after a usb interface for a while now anyway so I guess I should get one soon.
btw, been listening to this more, I like all the tracks but DMB is still my favourite, the best way I can describe it is organised chaos :P You guys should make it big, theres so much talent there.
-
That sounds weird tom that it works fine in one media player, then clipping in the other...I can't say I have any idea why its happening.
Thanks for all the comments, and really appreciate the support!
-
Those are some mad shreds by all 3 of you. I'm still not kean on the vocal style, so that puts me off a bit, but there is definitely a lot of talent in this band.
-
So... The Safety Fire got name-dropped by Kate Nash. That's awesome, and hilarious at the same time.

Have turned off sound enhancer and eq in itunes now and it seems to be much better.
