New Beneath the Massacre song "Black Tide"

[Robokid]

Not a big deathmetal guy, a bit too fast-paced for my tastes, but the playing was very tight.

 

[Larrikin666]

Holy shit. The tone is quite a bit better. I love that they're incorporating a bit more groove into the writing.

 

[Randy]

Never was a BtM fan, so everytime this thread got bumped I said "Meh"

Decided to give it a try and WHAAAAATTTT!!!?!?!? That was fucking tremendous.

Anyone see the flame war on the page?

 

[Randy]

A fight over a core band on youtube? Get outta here.

 

[Warchest1]

Sooo brutal!

 

[windu]

they are coming out with a 5 song ep sept 14. just a demo till they release a new album is what they said. i cant fucking wait!

 

[msalazar]

Love it. Been a big fan since the first ep.

I think that's a case of studio magic though, no guitarist is that tight.

Agreed. Sounds pretty much like "note-by-note"-editing, which i hate. I mean, it fits this band, but it annoys the shit out of me as only we as musicians know how this is done, and on the other side dumbfuck-magazines etc. think thats really PLAYED that way, and even think the drums are 100% "real". They, and the average listener then declare stuff like this as "standard", and if you then come up as a band with an "honest" record, you only get "iz not as tight as beneath the ratata, XD ^^" or some lame bullshit.

I normally hate on this band cause its just blastbeats and mindless wankery that is ridiculously played out. however, this song actually has a pretty decent mix of melody/brutality and pretty solid production.

Honestly, I don't have an issue with bands recording their albums that way to get a lot of tightness. When they can't play it as well live is when I have an issue.

For example, the guitarist of Vaeramia (sic)




That's reasonably clean for what he's playing and I wouldn't mind seeing them live at all.

Unfortunately, as much as I love Braindrill this was too disappointing



A sloppy mess of shit FTL.

 

[GoreNotCore]

and nice viraemia refernces

To be fair, everyone in Beneath The Massacre is an extremely good player, and they all can play their shit live...

Such a good band with such terrible vox.

The really nasty slop was in the sweeps. The rest of it was tolerable, but those were all slurred together and had a ton of choked out notes.

The tapped parts were really bad, especially when you compare it to the album

 

[Randy]

Less discernible on my laptop speakers. I'm sure you're right, though.

Well, they ARE Great players - however, i have seen them live 4-5 times now, and never where they anywhere near as tight as on CD - which is, again, sometimes not even possible, for no one. Again, they are tight enough - not like Braindrill or something, which seem to be live like a total beginners band....

I don't know... have you seen them live? He's pretty fucking spot on, even live, at least the times I've seen them.

 

[MorbidTravis]

pretty sick, the comments are entertaining too.
