The most pretentious metal personality ever? Funny stuff

[DanLights]

Check this out: http://www.metalsucks.net/2011/08/24/envinity-a-study-in-what-not-to-do-if-youre-an-unknown-band/

I find great lulz in reading this. It seems though the guy might have taken the hint after googling his band's name and changed his website though, the article says it's long as hell and when I click I only get a couple songs to hear (yes, full songs with no retarded commentary), but he went completely opposite, there's not even any info at all, just the two songs, not even an under construction message or anything. Oh well, enjoy

Edit: and after finally hearing some MUSIC from this guy, I find it's actually pretty good, a shame he's such a dumbass and is promoting his stuff in the most retarded way

Read the title, saw the metalsucks.com link, assumed there would be talk of Vince Nielstein

It's nice to see a man with a vision, but ... Do I have to finish the sentence?

I've actually seen it a few weeks before and thought it was some sick joke... But this http://vimeo.com/22851135 made me realize it's NOT a joke. Huh.

I've listened to the first few songs on Youtube, really pretty good musician(s) whoever they (or he) is/are...the production isn't incredible though. That 13 minute video on how to install an album is hilarious./\

Saw it earlier today on another forum.
What an absolute spanner.

I hate to knock on someone who is so proud of something they created but this guy is kind of a tool. He seems way to proud and over-confident that this project is going to change the world. Even the way he allows us to sample a few seconds of a super boring track (even though he talks over the entire thing) is annoying and self-righteous.

And the "Unboxing" video is just ridiculous. Who wants to have to watch a 15 minute video on the best way to organize and experience an album?

EDIT: Just listened to a few of the tracks. Music isn't that great and the mix is worse.

.....kind of? You´re being nice, surely. After listening to that "commentary" I wanted to smack his face

On a remotely related note, when I was 18 I was in a band with a guy who was just off-the-chart insane, and this kinda reminds me of him. The internet wasn't such a big deal back then, but he wanted to "market" our album that we recorded in some two-bit local studio, sell it as a "box set", with 2 CD's, 18 tracks, which came with a hat, t-shirt, and some other shit. It was just fucking crazy. Who would buy that? We'd only played about 15 gigs, ever, and never even been outside of our area.

For some people "reality check" doesn't even begin to describe what they require.

So... um... guess we shouldn't do a t-shirt + CD bundle when the new album comes out then...


*dies inside*

 

[Wohma]

I don't see a problem with bundles, providing they are priced accordingly to the band's status.

Did you actually click the links? This is not about selling a t-shirt+ Cd bundle. I think that's a great idea btw as long as it isn't too expensive

 

[Notuern]

Is this real life?

 

[MaellaJohn]

I listened to the commentary thing the guy posted on Soundcloud and I was reminded of myself when I go on rants about how beautiful I think BTBAM's music is.
It's weird to hear somebody saying that sort of stuff about their own shit.

 

[kvoid]

Didn't we laugh our assess off about this already when the video about that fastest guitar dude whatever came about?

Metalsucks owes us money. But then again, that website is the temple of Metal derp.

 

[vikk]

pretentious? i vote for Robb Flynn (Machine Head)

 

[Brandon E.]

Hahahah that Soundclick thing is hilarious. I bet 10 dollars that he has Aspergers

 

[DanLights]

Apparently it is, but yeah that was also my first reaction. When he says his music puts people in tears I was almost in tears, of laughter

 

[Mago]

haha this page (well the old one with the comments and whatfucknot) got digged up in the thread about the new fastest guitar player record, as he plays in this band.

I think it really is ok to be proud of your music and liking to listen to it, but the audio comments on the song clips back then felt really snobish to me.
I'd be really surprised if they sold a lot of boxes with that method of "you're too dumb to understand that shit!11!!!"

anyway, I'm with Dani on the music, its a pitty cause its not bad actually.
Mix is though, espeically guitars.

lol. Yes I did read it. I was attempting to make a funny.

Sounds like a damn infomercial for vaginal irrigation.
