Let me know what you all think of the website design and if you're on the website check out some demo recordings of some of our songs and let me know what you think!

can i ask why do you have the lion rampant in your design.
just wandering but thats a scottish royal emblem.
so just curious as to whay you have used it.. or maybe in your home town it means something else etc.
anyway like the design. nice clean and friendly.
the main site logo should for me be the same colour as the splash screen logo.

Hey Mick,
Of course you can ask about the lions. The logo is designed by a friend of us and he came up with the lions. It looks very cool.
It's also used in some royal emblems here in The Netherlands.
Yooo, I checked out two songs, "My own" and "Downfall". I like Downfall much more as a song some cool Anthrax riffs there. I think you might need improvement production-wise, drums are way too loud in both songs. Nearly everybody knows I work with music production so please dont take all the things I say too seriously, because I think I might be to much of an perfectionist when it comes to my job anyways, I also have the feeling the bass isnt always in line with the drums. I assume this has all been recorded "live" at your rehersal room? You might want to experiment with where in the room to put the mics (for recording, not the singers mic). Definitely try to get a better guitar sound. You could try and buy a cheap mixer, and some more mics and plug the mixer into your notebook to record your band. In that case you could easily fiddle with the volume of each instrument. You should try some eqing as well. More highs on the guitars, less on the drums. Hope that helps.

Thanks for all the tips.
These recordings are "live" from our rehearsal room. They haven't been produced in any way and are recorded with a very simple recording microphone standing in the room. Basically the same way bootlegs are recorded
When we're gonna record our first demo we will have it produced and we will experiment with the mics in the room together with our engineer.
Cool you like Downfall. What's your opinion about My own?
Could you also check Enlightment? I'm curious what you think of that song.
Listening to Enlightment right now. When it comes to my personal taste, I like this song the most from those I've heard so far. I have been into hardcore & punk so I like those grooves and the in-your-face song structure. Thumbs up! Here's my suggestion: Your singer, better call him shouter, has this special kind of screaming not singing style. Just for an experiment try to put some melodic vocals over this Enlightment song. I assume it would benefit a lot from that. Just try it out, find some cool melodies and sing them over this song. And let me know how it worked out for you.
