[MrRessurekt]

Damn this is a great track. 3rd time listening to it now. Represent the Hawkes Bay. Love the lyrics and meaning behind them too, is exactly the way things are going unfortunately! \m/!!

@MrRessurekt Thanks for your comments mate, glad you like the music. What part of NZ are you from?

[MrRessurekt]

@xenorocker73 Hastings mate.

[xenorocker73]

@MrRessurekt No shit? Do I know you man?

[MrRessurekt]

@xenorocker73 Don't think so. I found your band page on Encyclopaedia Metallum, just searched here on youtube and found your stuff. Dunno if you're the same band but yeah, its awesome.

[xenorocker73]

@MrRessurekt Cool. Yes I'm from Xenophobe, we're from Napier, I know a few blokes in Hastings, just thought I might of known you. Ok man, keep thrashing!!! Cheers, Paul.

[MrRessurekt]

@xenorocker73 Cool bro good stuff. Has the band got a website/FB or anything to keep posted on new releases/gigs or anything?

[xenorocker73]

@MrRessurekt Na, no website yet, although our label will be making one soon. It's Blood Sacrifice Productions they are based in Woodville out of all places. As for gigs, well it's only 2 blokes in the band, so that's not gonna happen dude, but hope to release another album next year. Cheers man.

@xenorocker73 Ask J from DH or Ravenous guys to help in live performance, like almost every band down there. Hahah, just kidding. Lords of Chaos is really good album and this new EP sounds interesting too. Keep on rockin! Cheers from Finland

[xenorocker73]

@Patriotic80 Hyvaa paivaa herras mies, Yeah I've already played gigs for Ravenous and DH, all good there ;-) And glad you like Lords of Chaos, although I would have to say The new EP Scum of the Earth is a lot better. Tervesta Brisbane Australia!!!

[SwedishBerzerker]

MUCH better than the other one. This one actually made me bang my head, especially the riff after the verses. The only "problem" is the vocals IMO - they were better on this one, but you should try putting some reverb on them and perhaps have the mic further away while singing/growling louder. Right now it sounds too much like you're just doing that voice and talking you know? Other than that, great song! Pure 80's thrash!

[xenorocker73]

@SwedishBerzerker Thanks man, yeah this is probably my favourite song we wrote. You're right about the vocals, I cant sing very well man, we just couldn't find anyone else to sing on the cd. Well we'll try and make the next stuff with a different vocalist, someone who CAN sing, ha ha! Thrash on brother!!!

[SwedishBerzerker]

@xenorocker73 They weren't too bad on this one, you just need to do it louder, because you can hear that you're kind of holding back if you know what I mean. Just try to put some more power, volume and anger in there. After one verse, you should be exhausted! ;)
