Interesting, had not heard this before...was not expecting it lol Very innovative for its time, it would have a place in music even now...ie.if it was released today Gonna give it an 8/10 as a first listen

Ghost of Perdition had repetition in a really nice setting...the current song just sounded lazy....not the same form of "opethish minimalism" on damnation

I think Andy Sneap is what Slayer needs

6/10 everything was decent but the vocals...couldnt get into it

Carcass - surgical steel was my top pick(picked up from where they left off) Hacride - Back to where you've never been Gorguts - Colored Sands(texturally one of the most complex albums this year) Vhol - Vhol(sonic barrage) Lord Dying - summon the faithless(old school done right)

I'm interested in this as well...is this thread still valid?

cool stuff guys...great recommendations so far:) found this really cool website http://metalbandart.com/ When you guys decide on an artist for album art, what do/did you personally look for?

Thanks guys...keep it coming....feel free to recommend your friends or yourselves:)....

While I do the planning for my first album, wanted to check who you guys can recommend for album artwork. Also any tips/opinions on what to look for, price range etc would be appreciated. Cheers p.s. hope this is the right place to post this

Got the books....i think for anyone who hasnt spent a lot of time in the studio....its really helpful.....ive learnt a LOT from the 2 of the books...so in my mind its worth every penny.....i hope that after completing the course i am in a position to take the skills ive learnt and mould them for...

oh well i went ahead and picked essential pop rock 1 and metal and more.....:rock:

thanks for that.....i assume snare 12a is whats used in kit 12a in the metal demo on the main page?

^^ Trigger compares well to SSD for programmed drums??
