It's just instrumental for now. Check out The Crossroad. Pretty cool.

I haven’t done a blog in a while because the last blog I did really got me thinking about the mentality of people in the metal scene. Most particularly, the mentality of shit talking. We’re all guilty of it. I admitted to shit talking Bring Me The Horizon in magazines over in Europe when I was in God Forbid. I never heard them at that point. But now, I dig them and I feel pretty stupid for slagging them.
In my last blog I mentioned my excitement for the band Eryn Non Dae and how I was going to…

Everyone out there should really find a creative outlet in any way they can. Whether it's writing, music, acting, fucking... whatever. It's healthy and it can put you in a good place. Life hands us twists and turns and in those moments the only one you can help is yourself. Look inward for the answer, not outward.
No one will understand you so now one can truly give you what you want. Don't deny yourself the capacity of doing something great. Yes, try. You may fail but you have to soldier on. T…

I wanted to turn you guys on to some new music I’ve been rocking… drum roll… Eryn Non Dae from France.
I found out about these fucks through Metalsucks.net. I’ll tell you, this shit is great. I listened to it three times in one day. It’s like Neurosis, Meshuggah, and Coalesce. I’m loving it. My new project will definitely be borrowing some of their ideas.
The new Behemoth. Nuff said. It’s Behemoth. The whole album kicks ass. Also, Colin Richardson killed on the mix. It sounds amazing and feroc…

What's up everyone!? My bro is on vacation right now but I spoke to him and he's going to be giving guitar lessons! He's a bad ass guitar player (much better than me) and he can teach you any metal you want to learn. Soon we will have a section for him on the site. Guitarists from NJ/NYC will be really excited.
Rock

What’s up party peoples? I just got back from LA after finishing up the vocals for the new album. After hearing this record for almost a year now I can say I’m tired of it and excited for it at the same time. Is that possible?
We worked on the vocals for a month when we thought it would take two weeks. This has been the M.O. with this record. The label is pissed off because we didn’t meet certain deadlines, we’re pissed because the person who was supposed to mix it pulled out on us last minute.…

I'm starting a new band. Check out the Graphic Novel songs for me. Most recently I put up 'Dial It Out' which is actually from the band Bulb. Usually when I sing over music that's not mine I put it under GN for me. The other songs of that ilk are the GN songs, 'Ophiuchus' and 'XOXO'.
Let me know what you think of those songs.

The Touring Game
Touring is a rough animal. Last week I went into a tirade about a promoter who stiffed us on cash. It may have been a little harsh but fuck it. Eventually we will be paid because there is a contract when we play. We get guarantees unless we’re doing bar shows where we do door deals. In all honesty, unless we’re getting a 3,000 and up guarantee, door deals can be fruitful.
Some of the comments about my last blog were eye opening because there is no ‘one’ way to promote a show.…

What's up motherfuckers? Yesterday we played a show in Tempe, Arizona. Unfortunately, we played up against the Gigantour. Bad fucking idea. That was just the first bad idea involving yesterdays show. Second bad idea was booking the show with a promoter who couldn't cover his ass.
When you're on the road most people would like to say it's all about the music. Well, it is and it isn't. With the cost of gas going up, the cost of crew and the need for the bands and clubs to make money, putting on a…

It’s The Environment, Stupid, Part 3
Last week I talked about our near collapse to oblivion and how it affected our writing on Gone Forever. On Gone Forever we did Ozzfest and we did thirteen and a half weeks with our good friends in Machine Head. We toured for three weeks in the states and ten and a half weeks in Europe with MH. It was a crazy schedule.
On Gone Forever, we learned how to really write an album and how to grab live crowds by being on stage with the best bands that year. Watchin…

It’s The Environment, Stupid: Part 2
Let’s go all the way back to our headlining tour of Determination back in 2002 and see how your environment affects your band. Our headlining tour for that record consisted of two unknown bands (at the time) by the names of Bleeding Through and Avenged Sevenfold. For us, the tour was terrible as hell. I can’t speak for A7X or Bleeding Through but the shit was horrible. No one came to see our band play and it deflated our aspirations and brought us back to ea…

It’s The Environment, Stupid…
What’s up party people? When you do a blog every week you wonder what to talk about and this week I decided to talk about the progression from our first record (Reject The Sickness) to our second record (Determination). I have no idea how familiar any of you may be with those records but I’d figure a look into the inner thinking of how each record was made and how we approached making those records will help any of you aspiring to do music for a living to do it mor…

Faster. Heavier. Best We’ve Ever Done!
How many of us have seen the news where bands are informing their fans the direction of their new album? If they are metal, it is always the same bullshit. ‘This new record is the fastest, heaviest, most aggressive, most brutal thing we’ve ever done. We can’t wait for you to hear it! Your faces will melt off and you’ll eat your own brains,’OH MY GOD! It’s so heavy!’
Let’s get something straight, if you’re in a metal band, you’ve obviously heard and listen…

Last week I talked about the state of metalcore and the week before that I talked about the word ‘nigger’ and how it should be used as an equal opportunity diss for all types of people. Not just for, wait for it — African-Americans. The power of the word is too great. I’m keeping it PC for now. My last two blogs seem to be getting a good response so far. I’m at odds with what to talk about this week because there’s so much we can discuss being it’s the internet and all.
OK. How about the intern…

It’s the songs, stupid…
A lot of the time when we’re on tour people ask us about how to get signed. It’s a hard question to answer because it’s different for every band. Every band has their song writers, their role players, etc. Essentially being in a band is a gift and a curse because it’s a lifestyle based around uncertainty and instability. Relationships inherently are unstable and uncertain.
Creation is a powerful animal. Creation is the ability to turn nothing into something. It’s the bi…

Evolution & Becoming Who You Are
Every living organism goes through its stages of growth. Bands are no different. From an outside point of view we should look at every band as a living organism. I look at God Forbid that way. We’ve grown, we’ve faltered, we’ve succeeded, we’ve evolved. Our records are a testament to that.
I’d hope to give insight into the type of steps bands have to take to make each record better than the last. I would like this to be a guide for newer bands to take steps…
