I like your style. It's like a mix between old school and new school Doom. Awsome riffs! Thanks for the request, glad you found me so I could hear your stuff!!
thank you for adding :khuntripper: to your friend's list. burden of grief is simply amazing. but i've already told you that. we are a new death metal/grind label looking for bands that are interested in compilations and splits. and we're wondering if you, or anyone else reading this, would be interested. get in touch,
Thanks for the add! The album is great... While listening, impressive riffs pass through my heart and I perceive the doom in my soul... I haven't been feeling like this for so long... appreciate for this :)
Thanks for the interview Ed and good luck with your debut gig. I know, I know: not having a drumkit between you and the audience can be stressful but I'm sure you'll pull it off! :)
