Hah! Finally some better recording equipment  ;)


Reminds me of some early Jethro Tull recordings.
Sounds great guys  8)


Edit: JC Kompleks ???  ;D
Bitter words mean little to me. Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time, when they asked me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine, and the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise

Merlijn

Thanks! It's recorded produced at a professional studio, we were going for a 70's vibe and I think we pulled it off. We've recieved a lot of positive feedback so far.  :D

Heh, well JC Kompleks is the name of the place and it's their drumkit. ;)

Haha. I take that as a big compliment!
It's true that John Lord is a inspiration for me, especially on more recent Calculated tracks :)
Boo!

Forge

very nice

been saying from the start - deep purple reborn
Take it down to the beach with a hammer and pound sand up your ass

side note:
i have an elliptical exercise machine & i listen to random tunes while working out ('s the only real workout i can get that doesn't over stress my bad back)
i am the monster is an excellent song for it. the energy of the song transfers into good energy towards the exercise

look out jane fonda
Take it down to the beach with a hammer and pound sand up your ass

Merlijn

Nice Forge! (ultra-late response, I know)

In other news: we won an important band contest, there were over 20 bands participating so it's quite a big thing. Especially since bands in our genre usually don't win anything (jury's tend to play it safe and pick mainstream sounding bands). So yeah, we're quite happy now!  :D

This also means we won free studio time. So you guys can expect some new professional recordings coming soon!  8)

That's awesome, Merlijn  8)
Congrats!

Recent performance in a big theater, in front of hundreds of people. It was a very cool experience.  8) Some older members (like ck3d) might remember this song, I recorded a version of it years ago and posted it on AMC. It's called 'Reveal'.

Puritan

Wow! Must have been a cool experience.
Merlijn has improved on vocals I'd say  8)
