How does my band sound? (Progressive Instrumental

Oh...don't you sorry Morbix......I did understand your point at first...I just was remarking that an instrumental prog metal band could like to fans, but I think that would be difficult to became a massive commercial band.

Hi, Morbix

I play bass in Anachronos (www.anachronos.cl), an instrumental prog metal band like Tetrafusion.  To complement the point of view of Mista, about to have a singer or not, we formed Anachronos just to be instrumental.  Three of us we were a part of a typical hevy metal band, with singer, and we felt that our need to do a more experimental music only can be realized without lyrics.  After a lot of live concerts we have notice that there are a lot of people that understand that and enjoy an instrumental band, maybe not thousands, but enough to do a great show.

On the contrary, and as contradictory as this sounds, we are thinking about all 4 singing or possibly getting a singer, but to back up my above statement, do instrumental CD's a lot and sing less. The singing would purely be for, I dunno, added sound.

Yeah, if there's a bunch of people singing it usually covers up any lack of singing skills one person may have (), but still it sounded awesome. Post something or message me when you release the demo, I'd buy it.

Definitely good stuff Marko. Except the keyboards on Inertia a little awkward at first, still two nice tracks. Did you guys choose to be instrumental or can you just not find a singer?

Hello, MistaMarko.  I just gave your samples a listen... I liked them both.  The guitar and keyboard work in particular I thought was very good, technically.  There were a few parts in Inertia that sounded a little awkward, like the timing seemed a little off.  But I think it is something easily smoothed out in a recording studio.  Did you guys record in a studio or did you do this yourselves?  I understand the pain of trying to get a perfect recording!!

I actually think the amount of keyboards was just fine.  What I really miss is that there's no singing, but that's a personal preference.  Good job, and good luck!

Thanks!

Bump.
