Post Comment......This band should have called it quits instead of Despised Icon.
The sound of the snare drum just ruined it for me.
Ah yes. The crisp, realistic snare drum, as opposed to the dead, sterile sound of most modern metal recordings. Yeah, I can see why you would hate that.
ponytailed guitar wankers with no sense of melody are stoked...
Way to be more than a few months late on this one. Hardly news.
unholy shredder unholy shredder unholy shredder unholy shredder unholy shredder unholy shredder unholy shredder unholy shredder unholy shredder unholy shredder "we were in blah blah and toured with unknown band, which started the two of us to create *YAWN* which we have worked on since 1970 something. we plan on releasing it september of 21 blah blah. hail devin townsend, cynic and voivod! see you on our tour of berkely school of music"
even more intersted since walter is involved.
I like this band, and this new music is "ok", but what is the need to have this long, egotistical explanation of who these dudes are or what bands the have been in. Since when did it matter who the fck you played with, or what projects you have worked on. It seems like press releases have just turned into a excuses to tell everyone how much cooler they are than you.
Warr guitar was originally designed as a dildo for Shay. After she realised it was far too small to satisfy her needs, they slapped some strings on it and gave it to Colin Marston to play.

band returns with new lineup - of zero people
You all suck. I wasn't down with the snare on the track i heard but...you don't tell Weasel to change it...he'll just tell you to fck off.
ponytailed guitar wankers with no sense of melody are stoked.. This.
The comments on the snare, with the exception of the first, were for its sound. Just for the record.
So one of the most technically proficient, original, and unique bands of the past decade announces they are coming back and people are complaining? Because of a lack of melody? And the snare sound? Yea, who wants a snare drum with some life in it. It needs to sound like someone flicking a mattress. And for all you people who need melody in a song, go download some more Dream Theater, All That Remains, and Dragonforce. I'll take my BTA, Meshuggah, Into the Moat, and Psyopus
^and you can keep them. give me the cramps or the ramones over this masturbatory diarrhea any day.
Correction, one person complained about the snare sound.
HOLY MOLY WHAT A GREAT SNARE SOUND! :))) :))) :DDD
I like masturbatory guitar wankery a whole lot (Mars Volta, Frank Zappa, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Yes), but this doesn't really do it for me. Yeah, they can play the shit out of their instruments and I respect them for that. But I just found this song kind of... stupid?
