CD Trade & Merchandise / FS Mastodon Crack the Skye shirt (S)
« on: February 02, 2010, 05:53:27 PM »
The guy at the merch tent at BDO gave me a small instead of medium and it was too late by the time I realised. Its just got the album art on the front and nothing on the back. Never worn. Most are going for $35 after P+H on ebay, so I was thinking $20. I've got a lot of spare time on my hands now, so I can even deliver it straight to you.

Musician Connection / Drummer Avaliable
« on: January 20, 2010, 02:24:04 AM »
Well my last project seemed to be going somewhere, but ended up falling apart about two months ago, so I?m back on the market. Been playing for a few years now, have good gear, transport, professional attitude, etc.

Influences include Katatonia, Opeth, Devin Townsend, Cynic, Porcupine Tree, Agalloch, Alice in Chains, Nine Inch Nails, Pain of Salvation. I?m not looking to get locked into one genre even and don?t mind stepping outside of metal now and then.

General discussion / R18+ Video Game Public Consultation
« on: December 18, 2009, 02:38:04 AM »
The Government is now asking for public opinion on the lack of an R rating for video games (leading to games such as Left for Dead 2 or Fallout 3 to be heavily modified, or in the case of Manhunt, banned). Just go here http://www.ag.gov.au/gamesclassification and follow the instructions to fire off an email. The bad news is that it still needs support from all the attorney generals, one of which has stated how he is heavily opposed to it.

Posting this on behalf of my friend from the band who doesn't have an account/is lazy.

Local melodic death band Lifeblood are having some lineup changes, they kicked out their old rythm guitarist Dan,and the drummer Cody is switching to guitar.
So in short, Lifebloods looking for a new drummer. Ignore the "seeking guitarist" thing on myspace, it hasnt been updated for a while.
You can listen to the tracks at www.myspace.com/lifebloodmetal
Standard tryout criteria (own gear, own transport, preferably over 18 etc)

Email cody.brooks@live.com if interested.

Musician Connection / Drum Teacher Wanted
« on: August 05, 2009, 02:10:02 AM »
Hey guys, due to current conflicts between my teachers schedule and mine, I'm searching for a new drum teacher preferably in the eastern suburbs, but I also spend a lot of time at Curtin, so around the Bentley/Cannington area is cool. Tuesday and Friday arvo's are usually best. I'm looking to focus more on independence and rhythm rather than double bass and blasting, so if anyone knows of any good teachers or themselves are willing, feel free to send us an email or PM.

General discussion / Metalhead kills self becauase of tinnitus
« on: July 23, 2009, 05:35:14 PM »

Sad news in the Belgian newspapers today. Dietrich Hectors, a 29-year old Belgian metalhead (and a doctor of engineering) killed himself last Friday because he was suffering from a severe form of tinnitus and hyperacusis. Tinnitus is an incurable condition, where the ear is permanently damaged, resulting in an over-sensitivity to certain frequency ranges of sound. Despite taking some sort of medication, in the end, every single sound hurted his ears, especially his own voice. "This disease controls my life: every word hurts."

His ears got damaged permanently after a Sepultura concert in 1996. From then on, he used ear plugs for almost every loud activity. After a rehearsel with his metal band - where he forgot his plugs because he was in a hurry - his condition got worse. Eventually, Dietrich Hectors was forced to quit the band in 2003. He also gave up most of his social life - avoiding pubs etc. - locking himself up in total loneliness and silence. After visiting a small, local music festival in 2006, he took off his ear plugs, just when people started firing fireworks right next to him. When he got his plugs back in, already a few explosions had passed. The next few days, his ears started hurting like never before.

In his goodbye letter, Hectors wrote: "For the first time in my life, the ringing noise in my ears is totally unbearable. It goes beyond anything. Despite the heavier medication, EVERYTHING is hurting my ears, especially my own voice. I can no longer communicate - just when I really needed to talk with the people around me the most. A hundred times, I tried to fight back, kept myself in silence, involved in antisocial behaviour - waiting for some sort of improvement. But there is a line somewhere. That line is reached. Please respect my choice, my life has become a living hell."

He also added he now regrets his switch in musical preferences from hard-rock to heavy metal...

I swear by earplugs now, no band is worth losing your hearing over, and a tragic story like this really justifies wearing them.

International / New ALICE IN CHAINS song out
« on: July 02, 2009, 11:53:53 PM »
First Alice in Chains song in years and first with new singer William DuVall is out. Called A Looking View and comes in at 7 minutes, you can listen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w98ht7j4i4Q
I gotta say, it sounds awesome. Its got a sort of sludgy sound from the Facelit/Dirt era. This will hopefully put whatever doubts people had about DuVall to rest.
