there a video on the side of his channel called "Deconstructing Pornland: Preface" where he talks for 47 minutes. wow.
I couldn't listen to anyone talk for that long. Having a conversation is different but seriously? This guy must think he's the next coming of Christ or some shit.

the real entertainment is that lord kol dude posted a video of him covering a type o negative song and does not sing one note in key , either a musical genius or tone deaf or maybe a combination of the two which would make him one of the deftones

sounds like post jordan owens
http://www.I_LOVE_ZUCKERPENIS.com/sharer.php?u=ht ... incarceri9

the drums , which sound so thin they have to be programmed could only have sounded worse if they were off a casio keyboard , and the tone deaf vocals come in towards the end are a nice touch,

some improvement over other stuff i have heard as it's an attempt at dsbm
maybe if they picked a key and played with in it might not be half bad

"After a few lineup changes, a debut album, and about 18 shows and 3 years later, he has decided to make this mainly an internet based band. "

sounds like a recipe for success!

LOL yeah that makes no sense whatsoever. Maybe the band members live in these different places? If not, Dawsonville is pretty fucking far away from Atlanta!

Now that's funny.


It's just goofy because if I'm considering joining a band I don't give a shiz where the members are from, just where the practice space is located.

I can almost dig how the vocals start out. Kinda "Ghost"-ish in the delivery, but I cant say I like where the vocals go after that. Id say keep the sorta cleans and drop the harsh stuff. They aren't really making it any more interesting.

Not a huge fan of the total lack of contrast in the riffing. It kinda sludges along sorta monotonously till the close of the song.

Now the drums are pretty agonizing. No punctuation. It feels like they exist solely to carry a beat to record the guitars to.

The guitars, recorded stereo hard panned, come off as disjointed and are often out of sync.

imo: better drums, contrast and probably more than two riffs stretched out to encompass the whole of the song.

Just my opinion.

I tried to give it a fair shake.. and it pretty much spiraled downhill from there.
