I had to delete īem all (Pun intended) because they were broken. I donīt have the slightest idea what happened to them. Maybe I upload more when I have some recording gear...
Heīs time here came to an end way too early...His death was such a big surprise to me. Iīm not a huge Slayer fan,but his death is still a big loss for metal community.
So, itīs been a pretty long time since my last update. A lot has happened with the band, mostly bad things...
If you read my previous blog you know that my friends house was burnt down. Because his guitars and amps were reduced to ashes, I decided to give my LTD m-50 and Spider 3 to him. Heīs going to need them. Too bad that he canīt play with us anymore, because he lives in a another city now and he is into different music now...Mainly black metal.
So were down to two guitar players now. Iīm kinda "the frontman" now(since when has the rhytm player been a frontman?!) and Iīm currently making some changes to our songs īcause er lack the third guitar player. I have to learn his harmonies too...Damn. We also have some new songs under construction. The lead guitarist has some stunning riffs and Iīm dying to use them. What else, what else...? Oh, I have got way better as a musician and as a player... What else...Oh,TIME PART 1 KICKS ASS!!
I think the world has something against our band. First we spent a freakinī year to find a singer and a bass player. When we found the first bassist he turned out to be useless and we waisted months with him. When we found our first singer she turned out to be useless and pathetic as a human being. Now,when we finally had things going smoothly and our third guitar player moved back here in Raahe,guess what happens? His house BURNT TO THE GROUND. Almost all his belongings were in that house. Including guitars. I canīt even imagine how he feels. Thank god I have some clothes he can use. And a spare guitar for him... But seriously? Life really is a bitch...
I visited the local music store today. They told me that I shoud test out the Blackstar amps. I tried the 40 watt model. The cleans were great but the distortion wasnīt. I felt like it was missing something. It wasnīt punchy enough and it sounded a bit fuzzy,muddy,something like that. Well,the search continues...
So,we played our first gig today. At first I was a bit nervous since it was my first live perfomance (With guitar),but then I realised there was nothing to be nervous about. The gig was a blast. The audience was really good,considering that they had never heard about us. We played four songs(All was our own stuff) and I used my Schecter and MMV-08FD,because one of the songs required the seventh string. We couldnīt put up a proper show,since the stage was so small. I could barely move. After our gig we went to see my friends band. Man,they had a beast drummer! And my friend (who sings) sounded like early Hetfield. Good day,good stuff. Hell Yeah!
So...We recorded a demo.Four songs. But with better quality. Hell,that was so fun...Finished all instruments on saturnday...Now weīre waiting for it to get mixed and mastered. Then we start playing live...Fuck yeah,thatīs all I got to say...!
