the band is playing…
renoise 1.27
btw where is song-forum gone to ?
interesting piece of music indeed.
really digged the last part with the lead guitar.
guitars are live performed and sampled or VSTi?
i guess mixing ain’t perfect here tho, sounds a bit cramped sometimes… maybe too much low freq. on the guitar playing the powerchords?
concerning the song forum question:
http://80.190.246.84/board/index…fa533a1f80d3c18
please listen to real metal before you say “it’s metal” 
no metal-drum-sounds (toooo soft basedrums / snaredrums)
no fat guitars … may be get Steinberg Virtual Guitar VSTi for better guitars or whatever
but overall a nice piece of music
I didn’t have any doubt metal is possible with ReNoise, though 
if progressive rock is possible, then everything is 
@Alexander:
well, I would not bound a genre to a specific kind of sound: in my opinion, you can make metal with orchestral instruments aswell. I think a genre is labeled by the sensations it gives rather than the sounds you hear.
general you are right and i agree with you … but with your thesis the are no gengres and you must agree: musical gengres are build by musical and acoustic characteristics.
basil’s song is something between rock, a touch of punk, a little bit progressive stuff and in the end of the song it sounds funny like in pop-music … but heavy-metal? 
… but it’s not so important … a nice piece of music!
this year i get to know a very interessting musician. he is no renoise user, but makes fantastic instrumental music with cool electronic sounds and fat guitars played by herself.
listen to it: MAXXESS
Bal-Sagoth rocks
I really like ‘The Dark Liege Of Chaos Is Unleashed At The Ensorcelled Shrine Of A’zura-Kai’ which happens to be the song with the longest name I have aswell 
This style of music is very much appreciated… Can I place Haggard in this list too? Also very impressive gothic rock (i think).
Anyone know more bands like this?
I loved the first Raphsody’s album, even if in that period I had given my heart to Cinic, Death (my signature is a tribute to the genius Chuck Schuldiner) and Aghorà… What do you think about them??
mekkah: as you could expect, I loved Death’s music.
Indeed once I’ve replied to your signature with “So vivid”
Yes I remember… And I answered you “yet at the same time”
I think we cold go on for years with Symbolic’s lyrics…
You are drummer, aren’t you??
Bill Andrews, Sean Reinert, Gene Hogland and Richard Christie (Death’s drummers who alternated themselves during the hystory, for those who don’t know this band): masters of metal drumming!! No??
Dimmu Borgir’s latest album – Death Cult Armageddon – is melodical black metal to the extreme… I don’t care much for the devil-promoting lyrics in some of the songs, but there’s one song that I find truly magnificient; Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse (linked to a RAM-file… yeah yeah, I know. At least it’s free…)
Oh, and by the way…! Gene Hogland is The Best ever!! 
Have you heard Strapping Young Lad? It’s his “new” band. Starring Devin Townsend on vocals and lead-guitar!! Strapping Young Lad homepage for more info… shameless promoting … 
yes Strapping Young Lad rules, but I think devin did this because of his brain-tumor … anyway good sound
… I used ReFX Slayer 1.52 for the guitars
… NI Kontakt 1.1.1 and 32bit samples for the drums
thats all
Hey Basil, which VST did you use for the Bass guitar?
And where did you get those drum samples?
Great work, reminds me a lot of early Young Gods stuff.
bass guitar made with reFX Slayer 1.51.
dunno where I found those drum samples. … anyway, you dont nead HQ sounds to gain realistic sound… It´s the way how you track and how you resample them. I tried to copy Korg´s AI2 Synthesis with NI Kontakt.
