I've never heard of "Neo-technical death metal". How does this sound like?

 

[Scourge of Malice]

FO is fucking awesome. Im very excited about this. Go download the Undiscovered Numbers and Colors to get a sense of what they sound like.

FO is fucking awesome. Im very excited about this. Go download the Undiscovered Numbers and Colors to get a sense of what they sound like.

instead, how about going to deron miller's site: www.deronmiller.com and ORDER the CD and actually PAY for it... lol.... so that they.. and now "we".. can continute to make new CD's.... economics my friends... projects like this just don't have the kind of money behind them to bear too much piracy... if the cd's aren't bought no more can be made.

i appreciate your enthusiasm though.... just please take care to actually support the music you claim to like/love.

thanks... looking forward to everyone finally getting to hear the new F.O., "Universal Culture Shock". you can pre-order it now!!

I'm going to have to agree with waht James said...he said it well.

 

[Dreadful]

I download and buy music...downloading is an excellent way to check out new bands and I for sure will download Foreign Objects first before I hear it. If they own(I'm sure they do), I will of course buy it as I love adding more Cds to my growing collection.
I downloaded James Murphy - feeding the machine first before I bought it...albums like that deserve to be bought. I recently came across the first Solstice(US) album finally, I have yet to receive it in the mail...shall be an interesting listen. According to the discography at jamesmurphy.com he's contributed 4 solos and some backing vocals, that's real cool. I love every James has done for music.

I'm absolutely dying to hear this, I've been waiting for a Foreign Objects re-release for years. It was due to be released today, but it's going to be held up for a little bit (for anybody who doesn't know and is interested, Deron said that the pressing plant weren't aware that one of the discs was going to be enhanced, so there will be a week or so delay. Jess also said something about the artwork taking a little longer than expected [digipack])

For now I shall be listening to the original Undiscovered Numbers & Colors and the few instrumental demos I have for a few of the songs on Universal Culture Shock... the wait for the album is absolutely killing me, especially considering I've been counting down the days to today! Oh well, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

 

[SupersonicRobotic]

what about DISINCARNATE?!

 

[Clairejamin]

Listening to Univeral Culture Shock right now... it's god damn amazing, it was definitely worth the wait. After listening to the demos for so long, I wasn't sure if the solos would fit and if I'd like them (the same goes for the vocals. It's odd listening to a finished song after listening to the instrumentals for years... but my god words cannot express how impressed I am with the finished product! A brilliant album!!

 

[VEHEMENCE]

I heard the sample and I definately want to get a copy, ill order it for sure.
