Eternal Mystery updates (Nov 2009)

Hey guys, I'm just stopping by to let you guys all know what is going on.

Welcome Josh Cook to the lineup. He is our new vocalist and bass player. We finally practiced yesterday, and everything went great. His vocals are more hardcore/metalcore styled, which isn't really a problem for grindcore, a lot of grind bands use those vocals, such as Nasum. Anyway, just know that he is better than I am at vocals, which is why I have him doing them now.

Mikey Barber has joined back again as the second guitarist. He took a small break to focus on his personal life, but he is back in full swing again!

We have 6 tracks of music for a pre-production demo done already, and we are working on putting vocals on them now. Be prepared!

- Broc

We have decided to not get a drummer, for several reasons:

1. Our drummer (the FL Studio drum track MP3 player) doesn't screw up on beats or tempos.
2. We have no trailer to haul a drumset in. None of us have the money for it, and we don't know anyone locally who will lend us one.
3. With the set up we have now, we can put everything in the back of my SUV and go with it. I don't have to worry about a trailer.
4. EM has been looking for a drummer for the entirety of it's existence. 4 1/2 years and only one person seemed interested, but he lived nearly 300 miles away from us, in Central Louisiana, and there was no way it was going to work.
5. The only place we have to practice is my house. I live in the middle of a town. With the drum machine, I can turn the volume up or down. With a drummer, the neighbors would call the cops.

To be honest guys, I have been told this for a very long time, and I'm kinda sick of explaining myself on this, when the same people have asked me over and over and over and over again. I'm not trying to be mean or rude, but it's really starting to annoy the mess out of me.

I'll be interested to hear the new vocalist. You've explored a bunch of different styles in the material, so it will be interesting to hear one more take on the ExMx vocal approach Smile

Alright, but I would advise at least getting some better drum sounds. The kicks and snares you use are fine, but the cymbals and fills (especially the cymbals) sound overly fake and bog down the rest of the music.
