anyone care to check out my band?

[No-Mercy]

i dont even know if i can do this as alot of forums dont let you "advertise" but i couldnt find any rules.
anyway, if allowed, would be awesome to get some feedback on the current band im working with, called Steadfast.
we are really inspired by a large range of metal. as for the quality, these are all self/home recorded, produced, and mastered.

I'm not a big fan of death vocals, but the music sounds kinda groovy. "The Fifth Element" grabbed me the most. Kinda epic.

I am not a moderator and can't speak for them, but I would almost guarantee they don't care if you pimp your band as long as you are a contributing member of ths forum and you are.
Dude !! You rip on drums my man !! You guys are pretty damned good. I am like Jen and don't deal well with the death vocals, but the music is on a high level. I love "The Insurgence." Your double bass is impressive on that. In fact, if you can duplicate your riffs live, you are already close to an elite level technically.
Stylistically, I don't hear anything that is superb, but you are tasteful. I would have been about the biggest asshole on the planet if I could play drums like that when I was your age. Hell.... I would be that way if I could play drums like that now >:P~
Anyway, work a little one on one with your guitarist. Learn to accent each other. At the opening riff of "The Insurgence" you do the bass/crash mute a couple of times, then a small riff. It sounds good, but you could extend that out a couple of bars and you and the guitarist could work that riff into something awesome. I am not telling you to change it.... just my observation. Hope you can find some more musicians on your level. Tough to make that much music with three members.

Sounds pretty sweet. I am not a fan of the harsh vocals, but the music is catchy and I like the way you guys add mood with the keyboards.

It is kinda scary that I was the 666th play of the final element.

i know you guys said you dont like harsher vocals, but if any of you listen to At The Gates or have heard their song "blinded by fear", we just got our cover of that up but with our style of playing. if you know the song great if you check it out!

we had our first live show this past saturday. somebody had recorded it so i was gonna post the youtube links here.
sound quality isnt bad, its just some 1990 hand held camera so its not crystal clear.

opener: the final element

I checked it out. The sound is terrible, but I am not bullshitting when I say you guys are truly way ahead of the curve as far as technical ability. Ya'll need to grow some hair and get some stage persona (the stage persona will come in time. I looked like a dork the first time I was on TV) and the music will take care of itself. Keep it up my friend !!!

haha thanks.
yea, i wasnt expecting much with the sound. it was just way too much for that camera, lol.
cool to hear, (ahead of the curve). hopefully we can get some better equipment for the live audio next show.
