I noticed it the most on the first track, and the title track. Furthermore I HIGHLY doubt becoming a sound engineer would cause me to somehow not notice that anymore.

I’m not a Trivium fanboy, thats just the way I sound." If that's really the case I'd be much more likely to say you sound like Hettfield. If I were you I'd start trying to sound different seeing how much flak Heafy has taken over the years for "ripping off" Metallica worse then Napster. Owen:

You said you were working on new stuff that sounded kinda like Gojira and Alice in Chains....gotta say....AWESOME. I remember hearing World to Come from Mars to Sirius on some college station ( 95.1?) when i was driving through Hoboken and thinking that sounded Alice and Chainsish and loving it. Gojira themselves allready proved to me that their sound alongside Layne Staleyesque shit is dope and you definitely proved your abillity to entertain me with all the outstanding GF work so I can certainly so my interest is piqued for your new stuff. Good luck and take your time. It'll be done when it's done and there is about a 95 percent chance allready that I'm gonna buy it. Dallas,

Like more than a song or two per album? They don't sound much like KSE, nor did they ever. I'm assuming that you mean during Gone Forever (somewhat)/Constitution of Treason era they "suddenly sounded like KSE" because they incorporated some clean vocals, but that's a pretty weak argument/assumption. I'm sure they made that change because they wanted to experiment and thought it sounded good, not because they wanted to hop aboard KSE's success train. And Earthsblood may have a BIT of prog influence, but calling it similar to Opeth? What planet are you from? Go listen to GF's catalog (and perhaps KSE's and Opeth's since you seem to be struggling with these misguided comparisons) a few more times before you bash real musicians that you have some unfounded jealousy/hatred toward.:/ Have you ever listened to God Forbid?

So I have a question. I am a musician, more specifically a one man band. I have tried the band thing but I just have so many ideas and I don't like being held up in my creativity by other people, so I've stayed solo and just learned to play/write/record/mix everything myself. Since I do everything myself, I don't have the time to do as much promotion as I probably should, but I do put alot of time and effort into the music and have been complimented by friends and strangers alike. My thought is if I keep creating cool music, and putting it out there for people to hear (for free since it costs me nothing to make), over time enough people will hear it that I might be able to accrue what could be called a 'fanbase'. I don't know if I'll ever be able to play live in any capacity without a backing band but that's not my focus right now. My question is, do you think I should try and put more effort into the promo and think more seriously about trying to get a live band together, or if my goal is just to keep making cool music for people to listen to, am I doing fine with my current course of action? I have a day job so I'm not worried about making money off my music. It would be nice but that's not why I do it. It's my one true, free outlet of artistic expression where I can say or do whatever I want at any given moment. I like to think that if the messages I communicate are strong enough, the fans will be drawn in over time. Cheers Hey Dallas, I’m digging the blog.

I was in the exact same position about 2 and a half years ago, and it was the best decision my band at the time ever made. You don't want to have drama with your core band mates, and especially don't want to sour relationships with clubs and other bands. Once you get a bad rep, it's kinda hard to shake.

I mean, if you're so good at identifying other people's weaknesses, one can only assume you're using all that vast knowledge to come up with some kick ass music of your own right? So where is it? If you at least played and instrument, you wouldn't go around talking trash like that. It is that simple. I'm a producer, guitarrist and a songwritter and I don't think you'll ever see me talking like that. And I'm not saying I'm big shit 'cause of that either. Everyone's entitled to their opinions but even if you were James Fucking Hetfield those comments wouldn't speak too highly of you, and when you don't even play an instrument,well, you just end up looking like a fool. just saying I just want to say that I see an awful lot of talk here, but I only see one of the sides actually walking the walk, posting links to their music.
