Define serious....baldyboy said:we'd love to play israel beorn-whenever you want to organise a gig for us,just let us know!!!we'll be on the next el al flight over.
actually,on a serious note,do you get many big bands playing israel?
Beorn of MythOdeviL said:I never wrote a review before but all must start somewhere....
I'm 17, and I have a band. We play somewhat death metal but with a shitload of different elements from heavy, trash, black etc. Anyway, the point is I always try not only to listen to the music but try to imagine how it is build.
When I first got the cd that Luke (baldyboy) sent me, I was rather curious.... curious about the contents. The fact that I heard about this whole thing on the oldschool forum got me interested, and I was expecting to hear something oldschool. I was surprised...
I listen to a lot of very different music. Aside metal (Death-Black-Trash-Power-Speed-Prog) and all variations of rock, I also listen to classic, some electronic and other strange shit.
Anyway, when I started listening to it, I was deeply impressed by the way how some genres mixed up there perfectly. You guys defintly have future if you ever manage to come out to the market. Grunge, Heavy/Speed with a little Nu Metal sounded exellent.
Guitars were good I liked the riffs, tho more solos (and I know I'm just one of many to say that) would be better. Kenji said later on the Panic Cell board that there were solos on 6 out of 10 songs, but still I find this insuffcient. Melodically, the album is an exellent thing to hear. Its also dynamic and flowing. IMO, at least. Drums: double pedals sound excellent, fitting virtually everywhere possible. BUT, the cymbals are sometimes swallowed in the rest of the music. Not the crash, more when there's the ride and similar. Bass: I understand that Bobby plays a 6-string. With a strange setup, but it doesnt matter.The bass had a nice distortion (when I finally heard the bass - the first time I dont know why, but I had a hardtime hearing it, probably my shitty sound setting - nevermind), even juicy somewhere. The vocals are exellent - I did trace Soundgarden influences, as later Luke mentioned to me. Finally I hear decent vocals.
The sound is a different part for itself. It's just fucking awesome!!! It's very neat, something nowadays rare for first band releases. I congratulate you guys with an exellent producer.
personal favs: Away From Me, Save Me, Bitter Part Of Me
Good luck guys, you have it comin'....
UE said:well vova, 10x for the cd, it was one of the best albums that i have heard in a long time....
for those who read this, i am 16 years old and i play the bass in our band (mine and vova's {Beorn of MythOdeviL})
well... what can i say about this album.....
the vocals are the best thing in it. i must say that it sounded like James Hatfield's vocals at first but then i understood that he is not the only one with such a good voice... but there was one bad thing about it... the vocalist somtimes scremed, that really hurt my ears
about the guitars... i understand that you are aware of the lack of solos but the solos were really good.
the drums: great! not enough cymbals but great.
bass: for me it is the most important thing.... so now i must say some things:
1) why 6 strings? you are not John Myung!!!!
2) the effect, , made me wanna vomit!
3) well... dont think i say that you are bad... you are a lot better than me with your technique (i play for only 6 months...) but i didn't like your work.
after all... your album is very good! i love it! keep on going and you will be big stars! aspecially with the third track of your album!
keep on rockin'!!!!
UE said:10x luke! :Spin:
hopefully you will come and we will meet you guys and bobby could kick my ass with great pleasure (if you know what i mean)
baldyboy said:dont worry ue,bobbys a really cool,laid back kinda guy.he is also a demon with that 6 string bass-its the only kind he's used for the last 10 years or so.
The scene is actually cross Israel..... but nevermind, Israel isn't that big anywaybaldyboy said:thats cool beorn,i'll check out some of those bands in a while.nicw to see you have a good scene in haifa.
its funny,but i was contacted today by someone wondering if we want to do a gig in jordan,so maybe we will be in your part of the world at some point soon!
what a monster i have created-its alive,ALIVE!!!!Greeno said:Damn Baldy!!!!! This thread is huge! Did you think you would get this much reaction to it?
sadly,its nothing to sdo with the opeth thing,we got an e mail from someone asking us if we wanted to play there,and we said yes.i'll wait n see what happens!Beorn of MythOdeviL said:Here's the shit. No sane Israeli will go to Jordan for almost any reason. It's not so friendly there, despite the peace agreement.
You have fun there, btw does that has to do anything with the Opeth jig in march?
About Israel - so far get promotion here, because its quite hard to find ppl here that will objectivley like the style. Its the problem here - its either minor fucks with CRADLE t-shirts, either "True" metallers..... but if you ever manage to get to the MTV.....
You got my point. However we'd be glad to see you guys anywa aside touring and playing.
