miracle man doing what it's made for: METHUUUUUULZZ

[ericsabbath]

my bandmate bought my ex-miracle man set and recorded one of our band's songs
i think he used wagner sharp and impulses cab (direct recording softwares)
the guitar is an A.R. Costa in mahogany (this one http://www.arcostaguitars.net/guitarras/tyr_130905ce.htm)

Sweet! I like the chugging at like 1:30 or thereabouts, really tight. Solos were awesome :).

Nice clip, tone and playing. Great stuff!

[wintersun]

Niiiceeeee :D

Too compressed and Gothenburgy for my tastes  :?

Riffs are great. Really heavy and groovy too. The sound is much too sterile/compressed to my tastes, but I guess that's the direct-software for ya.


(Pleeeeeeaaaaaaaase don't ruin this by adding screamo hardcore vocals)

(Pleeeeeeaaaaaaaase don't ruin this by adding screamo hardcore vocals)

Yes.  Because not only will it be Gothenburgy, but then it will be queer as shite just like the numerous metalcore and popcore bands that plague our sad sad era.

thanks for the comments, guys! :D

yeah, it sounds compressed cause it's all amp simulation and drum sampling, except the wah on the solos

we hate screamo vocals lol
our ex-singer did some kind of helloween/savatage vocals, but he sucked pretty bad
we were trying to put some pantera style vocals, but our actual singer couldn't handle it well, cause he's completely tone deaf
he does the growly screaming parts well, but he screws up all the melodies and can't even understand when we argue about tonal scale  :lol:
maybe we'll call a girl that does great angela gossow style vocals, but our priority is to find someone who can do aggressivity through melody, cause we play a lot of pantera covers
my other band's singer can do Pantera impressively well and he was backing us up, but he's not available to join another band (you guys can hear him on: http://www.myspace.com/reflectionsbleed and http://www.myspace.com/cobalto)

my bandmate that recorded the song clip has built a great amp based on engl amps
i'll ask him to record some clips with the new pickups

People allways go on about how many metalcore bands there are out there... I swear there's not as many as people think... There're More random talentless death metal bands imo.

Maybe I just spend too long listening to decent music, or I don't know what metalcore actually is :s

[il˙ti]

or I don't know what metalcore actually is :s

Bands trying to be Pantera. That end up sounding even worse.

[Will]

Lol, I agree with you there, Pantera was good, but often the music that they inspired is appalling IMO.
Was talking to a mate about the Texas Hippy Coalition or something today along the same lines

what the hell
metalcore bands are influenced by hardcore and scandinavian metal and there's a new trend trying to do death splatter
most of them don't even hear "real" metal, but only other metalcore and screamo bands
absolutely nothing to do with Pantera, except some specific cases, like Throwdown (and I can't even remember any other band)

Any band that tries to sound like Pantera automatically gets a -2 because Pantera by default gets a -1.


EDIT: though i am not entirely sure that Pantera have that much to do with the Metalcore phenomenon.

[_tom_]

Thought the tone was a bit processed sounding but not too bad, works for this kind of music. Loved the riffs, the chuggy one at 1:30 was great and the bit after that was really lamb of god-ish.

:o I dont think I can take your opinion seriously any more :P Pantera were one of the best metal bands ever. No one is as heavy as Phil Anselmo on vocals!

Music that sounds like Gothenerg metal - In Flames/At The Gates/Dark Tranquility.

And whats wrong with being a mix of metal and hardcore anyway? I know some brilliant bands that do it very succesfully.

Checking Last FM I see that Norma Jean, Ion Dissonance and Between the Buried and Me are listed as metalcore - All superb bands.

What I've got from this thread is that all "metalcore" is meant to be bad?
