Re: Acoustic performances in record stores
This Version sounds very sleepy. They could've at least implemented a slower variation of the main riff, Tom is used to play normally at first.

Re: 13 Voices
I would never plead for losing these chord progressions completely. But using them often simply weakens the effect. It's like singing with vibrato. If you use it on every note, there's no real effect, it just sounds common. BUT if you use it as dramatic device - like Deryck did on some Parts of SBM ...

You didn't really understand the criticism. I criticized the overuse of the same chord progressions not the chord progression itself. And when you have an album, where almost every song contains them, well it's not that easy to pick the best song, which really sounds fresh. And FMOD ist mostly put t...

Re: The Leak Discussion
After my first playthrough it's clear that the production/mixing is basically all messed up. (no pun intendend) Everything sounds very compressed, there's almost no noticable dynamic, and it also sounds very "thin" cause of the high frequent mixing. On the positive side, 13 Voices neverthe...

Re: God Save Us All (Death to POP) is OUT
Yes, but unfortunetaly the use of alteration increased from album to album more and more. I personally can't listen to it for a long time nowadays. For me it's just to alienated, especially when his real voice is sounding so great in live performances.

Re: God Save Us All (Death to POP) is OUT
The song would've been so much better, if Deryck's voice wouldn't be destroyed by so much effects and filters, which sound very unnatural and artificial. For me this is really annoying, given the fact that this song's called death to pop, except this is a kind of satire on pop music. But given that ...
Re: WAR
For me personally War is a good rock ballad, far better than any of the ballads of SBM or UH. Nevertheless, harmonic-wise War is a little bit boring, especially, because there's no real bridge, which distingishes from the other song parts.
All in all it's my ballad No.2 right after Pieces. :)

Re: Fake My Own Death is OUT
I kinda dislike the sound mixing of Deryck's voice, because it has a distorted/radio filter on it, especially at the beginning and the 2nd verse. Sounds unnatural to my ears. But he already used it frequently on SBM, so I guess he likes it. Well, and the Chorus sounds like many of all the other Sum ...

In March we have the opportunity to play as support for a huge well-known German band, which is releasing the newest album. BUT: We have to...

Re: Blood In My Eyes Music Video Is Up!
Good idea for a video < bad conversion.
Cutting Skumfuck in, making scene pauses in between, the video totally lost its flow.
Sorry, I waited months for THIS? Oooooooooooooooook....

Re: Summer in Europe - 2012 edition
Couldn't agree less, Deryck was completely sober that night, the only person drinking was Cone. He wasn't even drinking backstage, he even looked really healthy. I've had my fair share of criticism over the past 6 months, but I really do believe he's taken a huge step in the right direction. http:/...

Re: Summer in Europe - 2012 edition
Gonna see them in Cologne. I hope Deryck starts to control his drinking and partying habit and finally starts to sing again, getting the high notes he had some time before. Because in Tilburg he often sang every key, but not the key the song was.
