Seriously cannot wait to get my preorder.

ArnaudM · April 14th, 2012, 03:06 AM

It's just fantastic. This band knows about music. This is the best song, most inventive and tastefuly written I heard for a very long time, maybe since Opeth's "Blackwater Park". That kind of stuff gives nobility to Metal.

When is released this wonderful work of art ?

DanLights · April 14th, 2012, 02:36 PM

Woah. Absolutely not what I was expected. This is mind-blowing.

gemini8026 · April 14th, 2012, 03:03 PM

production sounds tits. Considering how much is going on there. Im not a fan of growls, but I enjoyed the symphonic melodies/music. Tones sounds great. Id love to hear this style music with a Ripper Owens type singer letting loose some soaring ballad type stuff.

Hey guys, you can now stream the entire album:

B36arin · April 19th, 2012, 12:09 PM

The soundcloud player doesn't work here...

Aaron Smith · April 19th, 2012, 12:21 PM

Yeah a few people on the Facebook seem to be reporting issues with the Soundcloud player, but have gotten it to work with Firefox. Firefox + updated Flash + updated Java is my best suggestion. I wish there were some way to launch the player externally or at least view the album directly on Soundcloud's site, but that kind of would defeat the purpose of CM allowing No Clean Singing to be the news-bearer.

B36arin · April 19th, 2012, 12:57 PM

It works now, strangely enough... I opened it with Firefox as well and the player wouldn't work, but my laptop has been standing here with the page open since I tried opening it and now suddenly the player is there. Will have a listen as soon as I get off work, have been looking forward to this for a very long time!

Bmenz · April 19th, 2012, 01:46 PM

This sounds crazy good. Congratulations!

B36arin · April 19th, 2012, 04:20 PM

One track in, so far this is kicking my ass in so many ways. Amazing work Aaron!

TonyS. · April 20th, 2012, 12:49 AM

Preordered with shirt. Im also not so much into growling, but your stuff is awesome!

badbadbad · April 20th, 2012, 12:27 PM

-awesome cover art
-awesome music
-awesome production

congrats Aaron !!!

By the way, i can see how the band popularity is growing with people who are not into this forum (judging from webzine news/comments and facebook posts and status).

Vicioushead · April 22nd, 2012, 07:00 PM

You are a very talented guy...sounds amazing.

Is there alot of vocal processing? He sounds like a cave dwelling demon of sorts...how much of his actual voice am I hearing?

I only ask as I find screaming vocals so difficult to work with.

Thanks man

There's really not much going on effects-wise on the vocals. There's some reverb (in hindsight, perhaps a tiny bit too much, which came up in perceived level as a result of the mastering), and delay swells in a couple spots. There are a few places strategically where there's a bit of flanger just to make the ending of a phrase sound crazy, but it never lasts for more than a second or two, so I don't think that's what you're referring to. JJ actually just sounds really ballsy and awesome behind the mic, it's all about his technique. He's pretty loud too, but can go for a few hours without much degradation in his voice. Of course, every growler/screamer sounds better after being smashed with a Distressor, so some of what you're hearing is that massive compression (in the range of 12 to 18dB of reduction throughout), and then a little bit of saturation from the Distressor as well, but again...the name of the game with mixing JJ isn't masking someone that sounds bad, it's enhancing someone who sounds good! Pretty stoked to have him in the band.

Virgil. · April 23rd, 2012, 08:50 PM

Aaron, just got my preorder package today. I'm loving it dude! The songwriting, the production, the performances... all amazing. Definitely already (and will stay) in my top albums of the year for sure! Great job to all of you! Congrats!

Cyanide_Anima · April 25th, 2012, 08:11 PM

This is great album. The production is awesome! The guitars are so beastly. The leads are awesome. You can hear everything clearly. I love the songs as well and was head-banging to this at work yesterday and today and didn't have to hit the 'skip' button.

Artean · April 26th, 2012, 04:58 PM

Simply splendid; both compositions and production. The guitars are massive! Somehow my guitar just won't quite sound like that...

yarrick19 · April 26th, 2012, 09:18 PM

Also, congrats on the small section in Guitar World magazine. That's great exposure. Cool stuff.

Josh Burgess · April 29th, 2012, 01:30 PM

I can't identify with the christian themes/beliefs, but the music, production, mix, and guitar playing are all excellent. Great sounding stuff, Aaron.

Siriun · April 30th, 2012, 12:18 AM

Wow! Production sounds killer dude! Can you elaborate a little on mixing the guitars? They sound beastly and monstrous.
