I agree on the clarity thing with guitars man! My band play in D standard and that seems to get us a very meaty sound! Just need to EQ the buggers now.

haha.

The production on the album is fantastic. Andy did an incredible job and the guitar tone is not the only thing that he helped.

I love the writting style as well. The blend you guys have produced between certain songs is incredible.
For example, Enemy within blends well into The Empires Of The Worlds very nicely. But for me the best has to be the blend into Survivor from DNA Metastasis. Amazing.

OK, im going to stop this shameless praising now!

The album art work is great. Really captures the vibe of your lyrics.

Being a biochemist that works with machines, i understand how you feel. haha

Thanks for all the replies dude. Much appreciated!

The art work is great for your album. I like your facial pictures inside as well. You all look so evil. METAL

hahaha

Your website is damn impressive as well. Bit of an aliens fan by any chance?

I just hope that you get good distribution of your album through century media. They havent helped bands like Stampin Ground get their music out to a wide audience!
Hope it goes well for you guys though, because you deserve to be huge.

Cheers

I've seen a few pictures of jamie using a GK pickup in his ESP. In what songs does he use the GK pickup and what sounds did he use?

"I've seen a few pictures of jamie using a GK pickup in his ESP. In what songs does he use the GK pickup and what sounds did he use?"

Hi all. Well maliciousteve to answer your question.I use the GK pickup with a Roland GR33 guitar synth for live stuff.When we play the 8 Moons music I Play the String sections on "Do you know me?", On "Core of darkness" I add the low male choirs & Timpani drums while I play the main riff & add High choirs & strings under the chorus riffs, On "Distorted" I play a low cello line during the intro & verses, on Clean guitar sections in other tracks I add a steel string acoustic to double my electric clean sound & sometimes I also add string sections to clean guitar passages to.I am currently looking through the "Empires of the worlds" stuff to see what I am going to add guitar synth parts to.Whatever I end up playing, it will replicate the orchestrations on the album. The tricky part is that I have to play the guitar parts at the sametime as playing the orchestrated parts, which means making use of the expression pedal on the synth & the hold function.If you get the chance, next time you see us live take not of all the changes involved on "Core of Darkness" the foot work on the pedal board is exhausting!!!!

There is an advert in the back of Terrorizer for Biomechanical and Mendeed at The Underworld on 17/11.

I have not seen this mentioned anywhere else... is it happening?
