[Emdprodukt]

love your accent

cool playing and as far as I can tell from my laptop speakers a great tone. I spotted a mistake here and there but I guess those are not the final tracks. Don't get me wrong, you're a great player. I couldn't do that.

cheerio to the neighbourhood!

 

[Ola Englund]

awesome playing mendel!

 

[JeffTD]

Holy shit, I can't wait to hear this thing in full! Loving the phrasing and the backing tracks are really, really well done so far!

 

[Soundlurker]

Awesome!

I also remember those great tracks you posted ages ago

 

[StefTD]

Really digging it!
And like Emdprodukt said, nice accent

Do you still have that 30 minute Nile style instrumental you once recorded?
Would love to hear that again, I think I heard it the last time 2 years ago or so.

 

[Mendel]

I think that nile song is on SC http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=345995&content=music

I've more comments about my accent haha, can somebody please tel me what it sounds like?
When i met trivium in 2006 Matt told me i sounded from the usa.
But if that was true you guys woudlnt notice it.

So tell me please, what is it with my accent?

 

[Skinny Viking]

you DON'T sound like you're from the US

 

[StefTD]

Imho you just sound like you're from the Netherlands, but I think this accent
sounds funny when it's German, too (I mean, a guy from the Netherlands
speaking German).

Thanks for the link to your soundclick, loved that song when you posted the
link ages ago, I think you said something like you recorded it with your Jackson
tuned to A# or so with 0.46 strings on it through a POD XT, I wasn't even able
to programm drums at that time so I was just flashed

 

[demirichris]

Wow, love the exotic phrasing on the last video. Cool stuff man. Hope the record works out great for you, your playing is fantastic!

Sounds good Mendel "Bloodline" This is weird I was just jamming your 'The Apocalypse' tune Sunday on my iPod!!! I see you're now using a hair tie too!

 

[Mendel]

Goddamnit! Thank you for the positive feedback, really motivates me to go on and finish this ting.
Can use a lot of words but it all comes down to thank you for the positive comments!

summed up in 1 word- holyfuckingshitwow

 

[Icony]

Wow. Just awesome stuff and great playing. Even your backing tracks sound tits!

 

[Mendel]

[MAXMEDLOW]

this is amazing stuff man! but am i the only one who isnt keen on the lead tone? i think its possibly a smidge loud? it doesnt sit in the mix, it sits on it, i.m.o. .....

 

[Mendel]

POdcast 5 is up! -->

@ MAXMEDLOW: I totally agree with you, i am already trying to mix it more a turning it a few db down.
THanks for also noticing!
