Real good stuff man, how long have you been doing DM vocals? Sounds like you've had a good bit of practice already, but I'd say focus on the regs in your songs, there's something strange in your gutturals, maybe practice that more (just being extra critical don't think I'm an asshole) Do you do the guitars as well?

Yeah I play guitar too. The only time I've really done vocals previously is when I've been recording solo stuff. I've never had any regular practice really, but that'll change soon enough.

Those vocals are brutal

Sounds great.

Can you scream at all? I would have loved to heard some screaming in there, but thats just me, I guess.

Still have some brutal vocals, though.

Yeah I do a bit when playing live, but for some reason I couldn't pull it off properly when doing the recording. Probably something to do with the fact that I recorded it in my bedroom and didn't want the neighbours to think I was being raped. I did a bit in Playing Dead but it wasn't up to much and got a bit lost in the mix. I'll have to start belting them out in future recordings.

New tune up at www.myspace.com/uglymetal which has my attempt at a bit of black metal screaming in it. Having said that, it was recorded at a practice on a Saturday morning in the middle of a Thursday-Monday pissup, so it's perhaps not what it could have been.

nice vocals, hey a random question is your drummer brown?

Sounds good! I'm no vocalist but something I notice people struggle with is holding a note, a lot of would-be-DM-vocalists fail to recognise the noises they make need to be in some key etc.

Do you use multi tracking? I think you'd have fun expoerimenting with the Glen Benton thing of doing one track with more spoken vocals and still keeping the brutal stuff, but mix it together. Can't think of any song names for examples as they've all been ones I've heard in mate's cars etc

Yep.



That new songs a live recording so no multi tracking there, but yeah, for the others I've double tracked my vocals. Not tried that 1 brutal, 1 clearer technique, but I might have a play around with it next time I have the chance.
