Hail Everyone. Vodnik would like to present our new track. Read the caption and now, for your reading pleasure we've posted our lyrics for the songs we've posted on youtube in our Vodnik channel. Any way, this is another preview of our soon to be released EP. Exactly when? Trying to figure that out right now. Stay tuned, and thanks for your support and hearing us out. Hope you like drinking songs Click the link.

Re: Death I agree, but fear of death is another subject no? Ever hear the saying, 'All who love life fear the reaper'? I think a little fear is healthy. Keeps us alive longer so we can accomplish more. In theory. Than again, fear however typical this sounds, is a weakness, and humans show themselves as separate from many animals, because they can control it. Sorta citing Dune.

Re: Death Death is unfathomable until we experience it. All we can perceive of it is what happens physically (to whatever dies) when it occurs. As far as speculating on an afterlife, post-consciousness, or ascendance to heaven etc, I think it probably boils down to the individual's life experience, values, and concrete ideas established throughout their life. An Atheist may experience nothing when they die, belieiving they are existential and this life on earth is all we get (your - mind is just chemicals in your brain - idea). Where as a devout christian may dream of going to heaven and that's the last thought they had, so perhaps that becomes their endless stream of consciousness? Their afterlife? This is all assuming we can perceive anything after we die, so who knows. So far, it's one of those mysteries of human existence, and all that is in existence in general. Fun to think about, but depressing for some.

Re: Meshuggah. And Djent is a new term coined by a newer artist from a new generation of bands who want to separate themselves from the old breed. And it's working to some degree. Hard to say whether its justified or not. Maybe not yet.

Re: Meshuggah. Wasn't it someone else who actually invented the style/sound/palmutign technique? And then I'm pretty sure it was taken up by some early 90s bands, such as Pantera and of course, Meshugga. Too lazy to look up specifics atm.

Hello Hello Everyone. We're Vodnik, a death metal band from Toronto, Canada. We decided to post another little taste of the demo we've been developing. Check it out. TA DA. It's sort of a political piece that's hot in our minds and it should be a great part of the demo. We hope you enjoy the track! Stay tuned for more! Thank you friends. - Vic

Happy Halloween Everyone! We are really excited to be taking a trip up to Montreal to Play with some crazy Montreal bands on December the 8th. Should be a really great time, if anyone is in the area. We guarantee a satanic effort on Vodnik's part. Check out the flyer that I uploaded. We hope everyone is ready to trick or treat... - Vic

Re: Battle Metal, just another ridiculous "genre"? haha you are probably right. I do enjoy the cross overs, but the elite band of these genres don't necessarily consider themselves separate from the more generalized genres. I don't know, some probably do. Yeah, I guess the best way to look at it is to allow it all grow wildly, because no one can stop it anyway, whether for good or bad. and I guess people/fans can do their part by being aware of these dynamics, and support the bands who are true to their music.

Re: VODNIK - GREETINGS with our NEW music Video lol yes indeed

Re: VODNIK - GREETINGS with our NEW music Video That is pretty lame. It's part of the reason I think facebook has issues. Everyone is constantly using each other in funny way to promote themselves. By the same token, we as a band are trying to take advantage of these sort of applications (forums) to promote ourselves, but thanks for noticing that we aren't being wh**es about it. We do care about the metal community and don't want to harm or disrespect anyone, unless they deserve it of course. I'm actually really diggin this forum.

Re: Battle Metal, just another ridiculous "genre"? Yeah, metal has enough subgenres already to seperate key tihngs about those genres. I think it's usually enough, maybe there is room for a couple more. Djent? I don't really like the term but I hear it used a lot, And I understand the concept. I wonder how Meshugah look at Djent, because that genre is largely credited towards them in that case. It would be interesting to hear a lot of artists' perCPECTIVES on this matter.

Re: Battle Metal, just another ridiculous "genre"? I agree. Maybe in this part of the information age, since there were some key distinctions made years back (death metal, power metal, etc) people are either bored with the old generalizations (as one might see them) or genre names, or they want to get more specific for chronicling and searching purposes, as they build their pirated music collection. I'm kinda half kidding but not really.

Re: Battle Metal, just another ridiculous "genre"? IF you think about it, all genres started that way, by soem band who incorporated the words into a song, album or in the band's actual name, such as Death, who is credited (whether its true or not) as a grandfather of the deathmetal genre. I agree completely that all this new genre is bs and people only further hurt the music industry with this lack of artistic integrity. Be your own genre, but you don't have assert that genre, and you definitely shouldn't go around with promoting a new genre if you don't have something to back it up. The words 'Battle Metal' sounds cool together, for many reasons. But it also sounds corny and lame, and if you were a true artist you'd involve the notion of 'battle' in your lyrics instead of saying you are a 'battle metal' band. And, I guess I should pay attention to when posts are made. This sparked my interest though. I should go before I get too into this.

Re: VODNIK - GREETINGS with our NEW music Video And yes. I hope by now that you've hit the sack.

Greetings Metal Forum, We are a Progressive Death Metal band from Toronto Ontario. We just released a new music video, and below I put the link to our demo from last year. We hope you enjoy it, and there is more to come soon. http://vodnik.bandcamp.com/ Rock on. Thanks everyone. - Vic from Vodnik

Re: VODNIK - trying out new BASSISTS We may ask for a demo and your age as well. FYI.

Hello all you bassists out there. We are looking for a Bass player, who lives in or within driving distance (1hour) of Toronto, Ontario. We are situated along the west/south side of Toronto as far as Burlington. VODNIK is a progressive Death metal band. If you want to check out some material, we just released a video, but below are some links you can check out. http://vodnik.bandcamp.com/ We have some ideal requirements and you can either contact us through facebook or directly through the forum, I will try to be vigilant and reply promptly. Requirments - a) You must be able to play and perform the material. It's not for the faint of heart. At times, I have trouble wrapping my head around, but eventually it comes. We have a couple members with vehicles, but we are generally poor at the moment, so a vehicle scores you big points. We are pretty fair and efficient when it comes to gas and band expenses. c) Skill is one thing, but we do appreciate a bassist who can contribute musically to the process, whether its with structure, actual riffs or other aspects that can improve our music. We try to keep an open mind. d) Looks do not matter. Race does not matter. Sex does not matter. If you have the chops and the passion, we will consider you. e) This is a loose requirement. It boils down to what you put in, you get out. We are a fiendish bunch of metal heads. Until we spread the word more and can build a following, we are managing ourselves, maybe indefinitely. But who knows. So far its going well, but we can use all the help you can offer. f) A bass amp scores you big points. If you don't have one, we'll sort out temporary ones, but it would be pretty vital to own one yourself. g) We want someone who likes to have a good time, but knows when to work and be responsible to their friends and family. We can talk about all these requirements if there is any confusion. This is not a requirement, but we are playing a Galy show in Montreal on December 8, so you'd have a little over a month to prepare which should be fine. Whether you can play it or not will not affect whether you join us, it's just a thought to entice you. If you contact us, we'll send you a couple songs to learn right away and we'll schedule a meet at a jam space or something similar. We have a 5 string bass available, as this is the minimum needed to play in our tuning. Any way, thanks for your time. Good luck everyone. Thanks Metal Forum. - Vic

Re: VODNIK - GREETINGS with our NEW music Video Fair enough. I will try to be more respectful in the future.

Re: VODNIK - New music Video Everyone gets cranky. Your not bad at all. I apologize, I haven't been on forums actively for years. It won't happen again. Did you like the music?

VODNIK Hails you, Greetings all, we are a progressive-death metal band, as cliche as that sounds. We play out of Toronto, Canada, and we're eager to spread our tunes and play more shows while we attempt to reforge the genre for ourselves. We hope and intend for metal heads of all flavors to enjoy our grinding grooves. And so.. Without further ado, Vodnik presents STRASIT, our first music video. (click the link) Also, if you have facebook, check us out there. http://www.facebook.com/VodnikMusic Thanks everyone. Rock on. Stay Heavy. - Vic ps. Still figuring things outs.
