Ok, my band's finally got a whopping one song up and running on myspace. Before I go any further with that I feel compelled to make a few things known.

1. the production is less than good. You can hear the different instruments and it doesn't mud up too bad, but it was recorded with crap and nothing but crap so what do you expect?
2. There were only 2 people present for the recording. The vocalist was crashing at my place on the night it was recorded so we figured we'd go ahead and record it so we could at least get some sort of demo out for promotion and what not. He did vocals and I did, well, everything else. Guitars, bass, programmed the drums and some backing vocals.
3. The song goes out of sync with the drums because the drums were programmed at one frequency and the instruments were recorded at another one so the timing sucks. We would've worried more about it but this is a demo of a demo and the whole band wasn't really able to do their thing so, y'know. It was pretty late too and there are people that live down stairs.
4. The solo was mostly made up on the spot so it was just me aimlessly screwing around. I settled with the first take so there you go.
5. This isn't really a good example of our style either, the song was written in something like an hour or so on our first night of practice. Our second song is completely different.

That being said, to those of you that bothered to read that anyway, here's the link. Comments, good or bad, are welcomed... and no, I'm not one of the corpse-paint wearing goons. I don't get into that jive.
