Title: Blatant self-promtion (my band's demo)
Post by: Pundan on June 27, 2012, 11:09:11 PM
Hi,
Back in February we sacked our old drummer (I had a thread going on about it). Our new drummer works as a freelance music producer which means he's got a whole studio for himself at home.
The demo is recorded the 5th time we rehearsed together, and it's the first vocal performance I've ever done. Anyway, here it is: http://snailking.bandcamp.com (http://snailking.bandcamp.com).

Two of the songs are 2 years old, we're working on new material, this was just a demo for fun.

Don't believe I've ever heard of a 6" record, but that's cool. Who's pressing that?

Thanks man. We've gotten some awesome feedback from this recording. I put it on Reddit and the same day we had 800 plays and the day after a record label contacted us. This past week has been really weird all in all. :) Hopefully we'll come to an agreement with a label to put this demo out on vinyl and/or CD pretty soon. The label wants to work with us in the longer term and all that which is very, very nice.

Very cool...just bought it.  I don't hear much doom these days that actually interests me but good riffs and good tones are always what I'm looking for.

Nice songs and the mixing is done well too. The kick-drum has sort of a metal sound which blends great with the music.

Thanks, all the credit goes to our drummer on that one, he's the one with any knowledge of how-to in that area. He owns the studio (we use his bedroom as live room).

The vocals are way way better than YOB!  Cool riffs and like the mix, not surprised you guys are picking up attention.  Facebook like 99 :)
