Lethal has a new drummer and new rehearsal space

[Erik]

The drummer is some death metal dude I haven't met yet who's probably far too fucking good and will make the rest of us feel like the pretty hopeless excuses for musicians we are

The rehearsal space is pretty shitty (or so Hell Mike tells me) but hey...

I'm just fucking happy that things are finally rolling again after lots of standstill. Expect a 7" with about 3 songs of new material soon-ish.

 

[Henrik Main]

*Envious* Congrats. I wish my band projects wouldn't consist of me and one other guy only. I want a real band, not just a bedroom project *Sobs*

I wish I had a drummer. Good job getting Lethal back in action.

I was going to post a thread about drummers, but this one shall do....

Drummers can make all the difference. When you sit down and write riffs on a guitar, the drums can either make it or break it. This is probably obvious to most, but something that's occuring to me particularly more and more as I write riffs in my basement without a drummer (or exceptional knowledge of drum programming).

I cannot imagine a better jamming / writing environment than one where you have a guitarist and drummer in the same rehearsal space, just feeding off each other....I've never had this luxury.

Examples of where the drumming says it all, off the top of my head:

Drudkh - Autumn Aurora....come on, it's all in the drum patterns. Remarkable.

Opeth - take "Demon of the Fall" as an example....the intro riff is pretty straightforward but it's Martin Lopez that brings the song to life. He adds the groove. You take away the drums and it's all pretty straightforward riffing.

So anyway, congrats Erik. EDIT: and footbalm.

My most successful jams involve me and a drummer, then a guitarist coming in and filling the void when necessary. Note: I jam mostly with funk, metal jams are pointless because there is less room for th.... I'm just kidding I never play metal in band situations so I wouldn't know.

Pics pls.



I wish I could join a band but I don't know how to songwrite. I'd probably have that whole diva thing going too.

 

[Hell Mike]

Drummer is only temporarily for starters at least, he's got approximately 289423946234792348593245 other bands and a european tour coming up so he doesn't ahve all that much time... But we'll take it one step at a time, first get the 7" out and then see what happens.

 

[JayKeeley]

party pooper.

 

[Ayeka]

Congrats dudes my drummer just went to spend a few months in Africa and we didn't part on good terms anyway. Poo.

 

[MFJ]

WTTT just got a drummer too.

 

[Papa Josh]

If I get approved for this loan to get a house, a drumkit is the next big purchase. I've been away for too long..

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Were it not for the slight geographical challenge I would definetley be trying out for Lethal.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

So I guess this means I can cancel my flight to Swedishland?

On a side note, I had "Cleansed By Flames" stuck in my head for a couple hours yesterday. Good job, guys.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Actually, it was "Devastation" for me, but hell, it's all good.

I would've offered to play drums, but I'm kind of far from Sweden...probably a good thing, because Erik will now commence to find a way to kill me for thinking about joining his band.

Even though I can blast out the 2/4 beats for quite a while, and love playing along to "Inner Self" and "Ripping Corpse."

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

I hope you put that song "Deliverance" on there. It has fucking awesome riffs.

 

[Henrik Main]

I hope that the drummer will bring a more death-ish sound to the band. That'd be extremely cool.

 

[Demilich]

Congratulations guys, and thanks again for the demo!

 

[Blasphemic Bob]

I never get to know shit about anything going on in this fuckin' band. Damn it!
Hey pinko and mike, wich other bands does that dude play in? Didn't he play in som crust band?
And oh yes, Through Your Flesh is as good as completed. I pushed up the tempo and finished the new lyrics. It will rip mother cunts!
here's a ruff version: http://hem.passagen.se/snowtroopers/flesh_mek.mp3

 

[Hell Mike]

You always get to know everything, I told you yesterday = the same day I talked to the guy dammit. He's in Auberon and Bleeding and many more I either haven't heard anything about or can't remember the name of.

 

[Blasphemic Bob]

Well fuck you all anyway. I have a bad memory. did you get the version of Flesh? I put it again. look at my last post...
