NEW ONE HERE!!!!! 8/17/ 8
The Polymath

These songs aren't finished but, I thought you guys might like to see the progress from now until we actually record these.

This recording is live.
No tracking and only a stereo mix to the recorder.

This stuff will be "chock o block" with percussion and noises. Maybe some loops under some of it.
We have decided that Serpents Rise will be 97% instrumental also. There will be small amounts of vocals but, only where needed.

O.K. Enjoy....
or not.

These are a work in progress.

Some of you may have heard some of these already.
The new ones are labeled as such.

Cheers,
D.
 
You guys are doing great. I don't think it needs vocals at all, it sounds good without it. In most of the death metal I hear, It's hard to get into because there is a blur between the guitar and drums that make it sound like a bit of a mess (almost as if they aren't playing together). This isn't like that though, I'm digging the way the drums are going perfectly with the guitar. I'd love to hear some of this in studio quality.
 
Great stuff man!

I dig your attitude of chucking the vocals. I listen to bands like Necrophagist and Nile and, honestly, most of the times I just ignore the vocals anyway.
 
The recordings are sounding nice, especially since it's live, solid blasting man. What is the cymbal hit on Intertwine after 02:02 on the 3rd beat? Sounds lovely.
Is it alright to share them with some of my mates?

Ah...that's a small 12 Wuhan gong! Haha. Sounds interesting huh?

Man...please do. Spend these around as much as you can. Even post them on other forums if you want.

Cheers.

Very interesting heh, caught my ear as soon as I heard it, love little touches like that. I'd love to hear a church bell or something sometime, I think that would sound sick played offbeat with blasts or something.

Alright cool. Will you guys be gigging in europe in the future (UK) ?
 
Can't wait for the finished recording man, this stuff is great. I love initiation rituals, the bit with half time feel is great, so is the bit in 7/8. Your all really great players, can't wait.

How is the final product going to be distributed? Is there an ETA yet?

Well done man,

Take care
