Jon Rice - Job For a Cowboy

[shredder10]

It sounds pretty natural to me but;
I'd love a kick sample like this one

 

[raybrochill]

man that dude sucks!

 

[shredder10]

He seems to be a kid though

 

[espartaco]

well.. nothing special but does the work required for his band... and IMO
you do not need to have as much groove in that style..

( btw wich part of caracas are you shredder? )

 

[Chryst Krispies]

This guy is good but just really lacks groove IMO - when he's not blasting or doing the thrash beat, his hands are super boring.

Their guitarist is the same way, though - zero feel in his leads, but great brutality in the rhythms.

Nail on the head.

The guitar player's leads are like a guitar pro track with better distortion.

meh, tough crowd. I love this band (well, Ruination). Hopefully these dudes will stay together for a bit, as IMO Ruination completely kills their other stuff.

 

[shredder10]

Well i'm not a particular fan of this band/drummer, i guess he can do better =)
I'll see the band in their show here on the city, might be interesting.

@Espartaco; La California? sounds familiar?

 

[espartaco]

dude we are really close i live in "green stick" haha ("palo verde" ) good to know another venezuelan around this place.

These are one of the few deathcore bands I can sit down and enjoy on record. They absolutely sucked live though.

Although I'm not a huge JFAC fan I do like them. I think they deserve way more credit than they get, they seemed to get bagged out here a lot. I met these guys not so long ago and they were bloody nice blokes.

 

[Ionei]

Dig the fuck out of JFAC

Really should get Ruination though, if it is actually better than there older stuff.

 

[Camakazie]

Not a fan of JFAC myself. I'd say he was a decent drummer, but nothing amazing. Nothing in it that stands out. And I dislike the snare during the blasts, it just sounds really weak.

 

[Chris_P_Critter]

RE: the drums being boring outside of the blasts / fills.

Maybe that's intentional - honestly, if I was producing this, I would have told him to chill a bit in certain spots to let the song breath a little. It would be way too "over the top" if it was just insane blasts / fills the entire song - you wouldn't be able to concentrate on any other elements of the song.

The drums may not groove, but the rythm's make up for it, and as a whole, it definitely grooves IMO.

 

[shredder10]

^x 2.

Awesome man!! Then you could possibly know the drummer of my band, he lives just right there!

 

[drew_drummer]

The drums DO groove.

 

[Trep]

Those floor toms sound like balls. Rest of the kit sounds pretty good though

 

[nwright]

I wouldn't call Ruination a deathcore rekkid whatsoever. Doom and Genesis, perhaps. But Ruination kills, and I despise deathcore.

 

[nwright]

anyone know the details of where this vid was shot? Not an actual studio vid is it? I thought they tracked with Mark and Jason at Audiohammer?

 

[Paulie!]

'87 - 23 = kid?

no.. '87 - 23 = '64 I couldn't resist

Anywho.. I like blastyblast drumming so it's all good to me, but I could never get in to JFAC though.. dunno why... but I think they definately deserve credit as musicians..

*EDIT* Second Thought: Genisis had some stuff I could get into, but Doom wasn't that great for me.
