You should have just named yourselves the Jolly Green Giants and be done with it. I love metal, but unfortunately it is dead. Or rather, people keep digging it up every few years for pictures and maybe to do a line with the corpse...

wow man. where the hell have you been? you need to start keeping up with the times man. metal is progressing more and more. and i'm sorry but i refuse to listen to the crap that the media tries to make you listen to on the radio. mainstream music sucks and the last time it was any good was back in the 90's. it's underground for a reason. now i ask. why do you think it's dead?

Because I was alive in the 80s and early 90s and able to appreciate what it was when it was alive and well. I only wish I could have lived through the 70s.

Well i liked it. I thought the riffs were good and your drummer is really good. Im all for screaming and metal but i just can't listen to hoarse unintelligible screaming for to long. I know it's metal but put some screaming were you can actually understand what your saying. Sceam loud and clear some of the time instead of hoarse and muffled all the timeand it will be better music IMHO.

yeah it was shot on an iphone. good call lol. just like in all videos, you have to have live music from the band members. no i am not the singer but i am the drummer. we're working with the vocalist. he's just never sang metal before, but he's developing the voice to where you can understand him better. and dude, metal is still alive and well. it has evolved into many different denominations and there is so much out there that it's hard to keep track of all of it.

Were was the "live music"? It showed you playing drums in a played out 90's trend gas mask. And you're right a music video DOES need performance (what you refer to as live music) when there is no narrative. Sorry dude I wouldn't call this a music video, it's pretty awful. But this looks like it's supposed to be awful, so good work!

i can dig the song but it needs to be longer and not so anti-climactic.

It was alright. Vocals could have been recorded better.
