For.. releasing Five Serpents Teeth! I don't post here very often, but thought I'd just like to thank Evile for making the record of the year,, I've been listening to constantly since I bought it and it's just fucking awesome. I haven't got this exited about a new record since Nevermore's...

I'm really getting into 5.1, DTS and so far I'm loving Opeth's Watershed and (no sneering they are fucking awesome albums) Genesis Selling England by the Pound and The Lamb remasters. Can anyone suggest any good metal albums in 5.1 that are available at the mo?

On March 7th 2009 three of the South's best underground metal acts - Terrathorn, Eternal Torment and Pariah will be playing a charity fundraiser at The Firehouse, Southampton in aid of Iraqi metal band ACRASSICAUDA. ACRASSICAUDA were formed in 2001 in Iraq and have been trying to play the...

Considering Death Magnetic was a pretty good album, I almost forgave them for Load onwards, anyway, the last time I saw them was 95 when they were still pretty good. So, I thought I definitely want to see them when they come to the UK in March. I checked out the metallica website and paying...

Now don't get me wrong, I've been to Graspop twice and although, the food was fucking repulsive the Belgian people are among the friendliest and nicest I've ever met... However put a Belgian behind the wheel and they turn into a total cunt! I've just driven about 900 miles back across to the UK...

Does anyone know of any VST plugins that reduce vocals at all? I know that the overall sound will be impacted and the vocals won't totally dissappear. I only need it to practise some tunes for a few live covers I'm being roped in to do.. I do a mean 18 and life :p believe it or not and I want to...

For the best part of a year I've been trying to put together a band down here in Southampton, so far it's me on drums and the lead guitarist from my old band. We've auditioned 2 singers, 5 guitaristists and only 1 bass player. Apart from 1 of the guitarists all of them have turned up at the...

drummer looking for a new band in Southampton. I've got good gear, my own rehearsal/recording studio, loads of live and studio experience. I'm looking to play something melodic and heavy in the vein of Arch Enemy and Nevermore. I'd also be well up for doing a retro-thrash thing if anyone is...

I was just wondering if there is an easier way to do this, I use Cubase SX3: I use a Firepod to record using the 8 mic pres and the SPDIF (Via a V-Verb for A/D conversion) giving 10 tracks for drums. Because I've got a stupid big metal drum kit (5 toms, 2x kick) I don't use mics on the kicks...

3x sm57 for £70 (about $135) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330199564418&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=014 I'm getting 2x SM57 for snare micing and I saw this deal, there seems to be a whole load of SM57s on Ebay really cheap at the moment, what do you reckon? Could...

Caught Evile last night at southampton, funnily enough they were the middle band out of three. Seriously cool gig, tight as fuck and very enjoyable... However, who the fuck are sanctity??? I've never heard of them, why were they headlining over Evile? They sounded like an even shittier...

I always go into Europe every year for the festival scene, there are no metal festivals in the UK (Brownload is a joke and Bloodstock this year was ridiculously mid week, as cool as Euro fest are Graspop, Wacken, Earthshaker etc... I am always forced to sit through JBO, Children of Boredom...

I fucking hate Nirvana, I've always hated Nirvana and Kurt Cobang certainly never turned out to be the musical legend he was touted to be. Oh, and BLS too.... absolute toilet...!

Here's my fisrt attempt at recording a full song. It's me on the drums and vox (again my first attempt at ever doing vocals!) and a mate of mine on the bass and guitar. I used a Firepod, SX3, SM57 on the Snare top, AKG418 on the snare bottom, 2x C1000's for overheads, a DM5 for the bass drum...

I'm putting together a full on metal band in the style of Arch Enemy / Nevermore, etc. I'm looking for a bass player and rhythm guitar. I was the drummer for Eternal Torment so you may or may not have heard of me... So far we've got a potential vocalist, a definite (and awesome) lead guitarist...

Eternal Torment is a traditional thrash/doom metal band based on the south coast, and is currently looking for a second lead guitarist to join an existing 5-piece line-up, and replace one of the existing guitarists who will be leaving the band soon. With over an hour's worth of original material...

I've got a couple of C1000s that I use for overheads, For recording I'm pretty much 'internet taught' so I'm always looking for new ideas. From the picture hopefully you can see my mic placement. On mixdown I hard pan left and right. It sounds ok but I'd really like a little more stereo...

Here's my first attempt at recording, bear in mind it is a demo and with my gear and rehersal space it will never sound amazing. Any tips would be very much appriciated! Gear: kicks- triggered via a TD-12 recorded as a mono track (I now record a midi track, now that I've worked out how to use...

At the moment I use SX3,When I record a mic'd drum take I also record a full midi track of triggered bass drums and snare from my Roland TD-12. I then edit it in Cubase to 'tidy' :lol: it up. Then I'll get the sounds I want out of the TD-12 send the midi track to the TD12 and record the audio...
