[mesavox]

Hey guys... we put up a new song. This is for the Deliverance 25th anniversary tribute album that The Christian Metal Realm is putting out through Roxx Records.

The song is The Call, and I'm guessing we'll be the only entry with a female vocalist. LOL

I know I hope there is still a Teramaze entry on it as well... It'd sure be an honor to share space on an album with those awesome guys.

It is sure a challenge to mix when the rhythm guitars are so heavy... getting vocals and solos to stand out without being too loud is... whew... I'm definitely not a producer. LOL So other than that, I hope it's enjoyable.

Oh yeah.. and the solos and some rhythms are BFR JP... YAY

I think i like your mix better than teramazes. everything is in place but the distorted guitars need a crank in fatness. after 2 listens i think your sound is more rocky than metal (well, maybe LA metal, not SF bay area metal methinks). since it's not a ultra scooped setup, you could get away with just cranking the volume fader on distorted guitars while watching out for excessive fizziness. "the call" sounded more balls-to-the-wall. if you wanted a different sound for Echo, maybe you could second guess the amount of preamp gain you're using vs the mellower power amp distortion.

just my 2 cents. not even an expert.



and tho i normally wouldn't do anything to anything associated with the C word, i'll make an exception for a forumite.

EDIT:hit enter too soon... and dude, you're other 2 tunes may have been less well recorded, but there defiantly more metal.

I'm confused, you think Sorry For You and Seven Doors are more Metal than The Call? lol Maybe I'm just turned around somewhere here and not following you...

We're not really a metal band though. We just have some metal tendencies, but hard rock and catchy is probably more consistant with what we are. The Call was something we got involved with because a couple of us have really been into their music for a long time. Although, it wouldn't surprise me if we wrote a song that heavy.. the original version is much faster too. The slower wasn't on purpose, it's just the way Brad played it on drums based on the groove he was feeling I guess. In the end we were like.. wow, it's pretty cool slower.

As for the C word... I'm pretty sure we're all C word affilliated people in the band.. LOL, but were not a C word band... LOL I think we all feel that we are what we are and that will reflect in every day life and if it doens't, it doesn't matter what tag you'd stick in front of your band anyway. Raymond's Cricible Divine project is more aimed in that direction... I think its just the best way he knows how to express that part of him... I guess I find myself int he middle of enough debates that I don't tend to express my faith in songs as much. LOL But it does still come across in my lyrics because whatever I might be griping about is coming from my world view so... LOL

This is all assuming we're talking about he same C word... yikes. LOL

Back on topic... LOL (I just didn't want to end up someday like Evanescence a few years ago because we let that topic go under the radar too long like they did. LOL)

Is The Call mix the one you like better than Teramazes mixes? I gotta say, when I hear any of those three songs, I don't hear my mixing any kind of level up there like that. LOL I'm definitely not a producer/mixer that should ever get paid scale for doing that kind of work. lol

But thanks for saying so.. And, thanks for listening... input is always helpful.

weep... we were asked to wait until the 15th to post songs to myspace... part of a blitz thing they want to do then... so I took it down for now.

 

[Dante]

hey mesa. sorry to hear you had to take it down.
echo (that's the one we were asked to listen right?) was the one with the mixing i liked better than teramaze. except for the distorted guitars. the rest was heavier, imho, but less well mixed.

seven doors was absolutely more metal. albeit old school metal. i found echo a bit more hard rock. i guess i was kinda right when i thought it wasn't going for a diehard metal tone.

Raymonds Crucible Divine, that sounds like an adult entertainment accessory, or maybe an ice cream flavour at best.

the really nutty ones on my side (more than a fare share i'm afraid) refer to the C word in a mad mix of slurs, which leads me to think my side is designed to protect the deep thinking with a wall of lunatics.

DUDE, THEY RIPPED YOU FOR TWO FRIGGIN GUITARS!?!?!?!

 

[mesavox]

Sorry For You is the first track... I need to check and make sure the song title is right. Bipolar Echo is the name of the band. The Call is the one we're putting on the tribute album... it WAS the second track on the page. It's ok though... I understand why they want to wait. I was just thinking they wanted us to put them up already.

Raymond's project is just called Crucible Divine. LOL Not Raymond's Crucible divine... I just didn't put my commas in the right places.

I'm still not sure what C word is meaning here, or what you just said... LOL but maybe that's the whole point. LOL

Seven Doors is actually a Europe cover... But, we're getting the licensing to put in on the album (hopefully sooner than later lol) because it's a. a great tune, and b. fits us so well.

Sorry For You is a tune I wrote off a riff we jammed on one rehearsal and then Amber added lyrics. We have a few tunes in the works... some band collaborations from rehearsal, and some I have written. Hopefully we can get them finished (other members learning the songs, and arranging them) so we can get the best songs on the demo... and maybe do an album someday... fingers crossed.

Yeah... Two different houses... the first time they got my first Jackson and my Fralin equipped Strat... the second time my 02 7 string.

Then someone swiped my Camo JPM and my 07... Can't get DG color anymore. I keep hoping I'll come across one of them... and the Camo JPM I miss because I went through so much with it... I knew every ding, and even though the BFR would certainly get more playing time (just like it does over the Multi colored JPM I got to replace the camo), somehow it meant more than the JPM I have now does... although they both have nostalgic value to me. I would own all of them, even though I'd play MMs 95% of the time over them.
