Rad song. Interesting vid. Funny how the puking thing crossed into music, and not just barf/choke/porn.

Now if I only understood what they were saying....

Rad song

Oh dear, something tells me you are not particulary learned on metal.

I agree. that was very very horrible. It seems to be the same ole same ole regarding cheesy gimmicks to fuel shitty music..

the puke and blood was cool though. much more awesomeness than big hair, make-up and pyrotechnics

I dont know what i hated most, the fact that they seem to have lifted their riffs straight from the 'Sound like Korn nu-metal bible' or the fact that the vocalist lifted his style straight from the 'I want to be Jonathan Davis and heres how' book of nu-metal carthartic angst bullshit.

Utter tripe. But very cool video.

Just not as cool as this.

I wonder if there's ever been a metal video without a midget in it?

Midgets are always awesome!!!

'Oh dear, something tells me you are not particulary learned on metal.'

Xihilisk, being the pillar of intelligence that you have displayed recently and YOUR 'music' you have shown us. I feel no need to defend my position on this subject.

My music, that you hated, is being featured on BBC Radio 1 next tuesday, a radio station which has a huge worldwide following. And their opinion, i find overrides yours.

The most important element of this is the fact that you think this song, is a rad song. That sir, makes you a cockfiend of the highest order.

I went and checked out BBC Radio 1 listings for next Tuesday but don't find anyone being featured. I'm guessing you mean that you've got a single that they're promised you they'll play, which, given your marketing efforts here on LS, doesn't surprise me much.

What does surprise me is how American-pop some of their playlists look.

NB: I hope I'm not the only one enjoying the comedy-midget irony of the last two posts, because there's plenty to go around.

Its on the Huw Stephens show, on Tuesday 6th June.

Yeah Radio 1 does have a lot of crap on it in the daytime, but they still have some real edgy shows at night.

It's been a good week.

And it's only about half empty...

This is akin to proclaiming yourself King Retard of the 'wear a helmet to school' crowd.

No, this is akin to a rather good achievement. You said it was shit, they say its not. Its that simple. Cock.

So... being played on the radio means quality, then?

No, this is akin to a rather good achievement

Then again, Albert Einstein was kin to his retarded son, Eduard, too. YMMV

well.............obviously.....

In this case, yes. If i was being played during peak hours and drive-times, not so much because thats when they play utter crap.

But it is being played on a show that champions new and exciting music, so i think we can acknowledge that we're doing something worthwhile at least. Albeit, not to everyones taste.

Man, xihilisk, what are you doing? I don't know about your music, I didn't listen to much of it, and I didn't form a strong opinion on it, but I have taken a serious disliking to you because of your complete inability to say something in your defense. If I were you, and a swarmer negatively reviewed a song I posted, then I would shrug it off as 'different strokes' and if the swarmer later said, 'I don't trust your musical taste, based on the songs you posted', I think the counter-argument doesn't even need to be said. And yet your response managed to turn an accomplishment, radio air time, into something obnoxious and immature. It's like you degrade everything you touch, including your music.

dinozoa: It's like you degrade everything you touch, including your music.

Adding this to my quotes file on account of being pure fuking gold, ovar.

It would be nice if someone actually reviewed the new ep. Maybe you should.

Path.

:-)

Doing so now -- on track 2 already and thinking this isn't going to make anyone happy, much less myself.

I am listening to your ep xihilisk, and you really need a better producer. Also, a drummer would help. Or maybe there is a drummer I just can't hear him/her because of shitty balancing?

also, maybe you guys should start composing music instead of playing around with 'cool' sounds

Yeah this EP is a more experimental album. Our older stuff is more like Godspeed!, Explosions in the Sky, Frankie Sparo sounding.

Oh, the track theyre playing on the radio is 'Belaruse'. haha. We played spanish ghost-town stuff then put a timestretched sample of a polish woman singing folk songs over the top. We were shocked to say the least.

Cool sounds? We play guitars.Expect for on 'Arctica' and 'Post-barbershop' where we used a dying battery powered Marshall amp being killed by a super-amped Roland keyboard.

Its all made completely on the spot. The only 'production' is a microphone hanging from a lightbulb and some cleaning up in Sonar. We dont make songs as such, we just jam and see what comes out. If we like something, we might fuck with it, put a sample over etc.

Track 1: Noodling with novelty goofball vocal. I think I know where you were trying to go with that and I've seen it work, though I can't think of any examples.

Track 2: Noodling. There was something in here I was going to point out, but I've since lost the motivation to recall it. There was a building-up/progression thing with the guitar and a sample behind it that was good, and would work well right before a big guitar freak-out, though now we're just reinventing post-rock again.

Track 3: I like the vocal, which sounds like someone rushed home from the dentist (I know you have them there) with a jaw full of Novocaine and tried to read science out loud. The rest of the track sounds like all the filler parts from any song by a post-rock band like Mogwai or GYBE stitched together, leaving the payoff bits disregarded. This last sentence is, in fact, applicable to the other tracks.

Track 4: Noodling.

Track 5: Noodling with radio squelch and other noises, extended to the limits of my patience.

Bonus sentences: I'm not a big fan of this particular genre, this sort of minimalist spare dinking around with samples and long stretched-out guitar squeals, nor the homemade/bedsit sample-diarrhea 'look ma no hands' version of same. It sounds to me like you have a pretty decent idea what you want to sound like. Sometimes an atmospheric soundscapy effect started to suggest itself. On the other hand, it sounds like you've taken shortcuts to get there instead of using actual music and/or theory.

Happy notes: 1) you're trying, which I suppose is good, or at least can't be terrible forever. 2) You or someone you know has a guitar, which means maybe if you practice your ass off with it, you'll eventually get away from all this samesounding electronic diddle-cruft and into something decent, like AC/DC. Their Back in Black album remains a powerful rock classic to this day.

Better music than Xihilisk's

dinozoa rocks my socks

LK: hahahahahahaha

Im sure Lucier and Reich encountered many a person like yourselves.

Hahaha, you poor martyred faggot.

One of these guys looks like Rufio from Hook.
