I like(d) Gorefest too and of course, not to forget, Pestilence! I don't know what happened to the scene then....perhaps too many bands and the whole scene destroyed itself a bit.... There are also some bands here that are pretty complacent and think they will be discovered while sitting in...
I do additional vocals (ie death grunts) in our band Desensitised. I tried out if I could do this when our first singer unexpectedly left the band in '95 and from then on we also use double vocal parts of which I do the low grunts and our singer the screams.
Same holds true for me, especially when I want to improve my speed. Some people (often depending on the musical style they're playing :)) seem to underestimate the value of a metronome, but I think you really need it if you want improve your technique and speed...
I asked our webmaster to have a look at this problem and everything should work by now.... I can't check as I only have Internet Explorer, so some feedback whether our links work or not would be much appreciated :)
