poll - ballad?

[TheUnnamedOne]

worked perfect in practice what you preach.

Doesn't need to necessarily be a whole new tone, it just needs to be in place in the progression of the album

Practice what you preach is still a pretty melodic record compared to Evile.

And as I've already said, there're some bands that can pull of ballads without a hitch (Testament) and those who can't do them for shit no matter how hard they try (pretty muh every other thrash band that's ever done a ballad). Although I'm sure Matt and the boys have it in them, I don't want to wait until I hear such a thing to discover which of these catagories they fit into. Best to play it safe when it comes to ballads

i think evile would do a really good power ballad .but if it was something like Testaments return to serenity, trail of tears..ect........matts got a really good melodic voice.

 

[D.Ingram]

Power ballads are almost a completely different thing

 

[Ocelot2010]

Evile would have to ditch the dark side of their music if they were to pull it off.

 

[Weapon X]

Ol can do some really beautiful shit with his guitar, I think it could be done. As a pure ballad on an album, I'm not sure I'd want to hear a pure ballad, but a cover from Poison would be dope.....NNNNNNOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTT

I think a mixture would be cool, like One Metallica, Pantera Love, Hollow Etc. One that has a creepy feel would be cool to.

powerballads maybe, but again it'd have to be done well. That's the tough part.
