RISE OF THE MONOLITH

[MONOLITH]

Hey People
My name is Danny and I sing in a brand new band called RISE OF THE MONOLITH. We are inspired from the Stanley Kubrick Film Classic " 2001 a spacey oddessey". We play Sludge doom
or Doom Death . Your expert opinion would be welcome so come by listen to our first demo and let us know what you think http://www.facebook.com/RiseOfTheMonolith

Peace
Danny

Hey Danny,

thanks for showing up and letting us know.

I've just checked out the song, and I really like it. The guitar-sound is indeed massive. Love those grinding riffs, and the vocals are damn cool and fitting also. The nice lead guitar parts beginning around 3:00 are fine. I love such things. We're eventually doing that type of leads, too, in our project.


Anyways, PLEASE do get a real own homepage for your band. Facebook is fine to supplement your band's promotion, but it sucks big time if bands do only have facebook pages. And more and more bands seem to consider that clever. It is not!!! Simply because actually not everyone does use or does want to use facebook, and because it's inconvenient and complicated as hell to find what you're looking for on those endlessly scrolling down lists of useless information. A humble little homepage of your own with NEWS - MEMBERS - BIO - DISCOGRAPHY - SHOP - CONTACT. That's all a band will ever need as a homepage.

Well Sir
Thank you so for the kind words and I agree 100 percent with what you are writting regarding the HP. Believe it or not the man behind over 50 percet of this, played one of the two guitars the bass and did all the mixing and the page ect. Well he spent an extra six hours just re-mixing the song to find exactly the sound he was looking for, a perfectionist so to say and this is just a demo song.
Now that this step is taken care of ,letting the world know about us; we can move on to other steps.I for one am a big youtube fan and could just stay there all day. And I would like to do videos for our songs; which I think is something most fans like.like I said thank you so and I will pass on your kind words and let me know when you start you project okay
you rock
Peace
Danny

klingt fett, Gesang ist ok

schreib doch einfach deutsch hier

Ich hätte jetzt im Leben nicht damit gerechnet, dass Danny Deutsch spricht, wenn er hier mit einer Bandvorstellung auf Englisch ankommt. Daher gebot die Höflichkeit, auch auf Englisch zu antworten...

Danny is my real name and I am from Texas so english is my langauge. Could I write and or answer you all in German yes I could. My wife has taught me enough to do just that . But I am not good at all when it comes to writting you know, what is written with capitals what is written small. And I have never understood this der,die das. I dont want to be made fun of because of this so I figured if you are truely interested you will take the time to read and I am sure, those few who would be interested in this kind of music can write and or speak english.

@ the seeker
That is cute after drinking my first cup of coffe I re-read your message and the first thing that pops into my mind is ...... your name? You choose for whatever your reason was a English name and write in German which if thats your langauge would to some extent make sense but it is...different to say the least.
So now that I am awake truely and working on cup number two let me be honest with you all. I am married I have two adult children two grand-kids; a house a job and then somewhere down the line comes the band. My life is fullfilled without the music ; no with the music it is just better as without,
I have no plans to post anywhere else as in this thread. I have neither the time and or desire to spend lots of my free time here no offence but my family takes up alot of my time.
Doom is the smallest of all genres and the fewer of them that like this will not take me to fame or fortune it is just about having fun
the inspiration sir is not taken from the film itself but the message and the message is struggle

So I was right, to reply in English.

I was a bit confused about the seeker's reaction, thinking he might know more than I do. So please rest assured, that anyone who doesn't speak German too well oder at all, is invited and absolutely welcome to share his thoughts and news in English here. Most people will be able to understand the larger part of it, and if they don't, there will be someone able to help with a translation.

[the seeker]

I assumed you are a German band, because all the comments on your facebook page are in German

Hey Danny, dein Deutsch ist doch prima, also los! Schön dich hier zu treffen! Rate mal, wer ich bin...

P.S Was macht Ignorance?
