Siderian's Achievements

  1. My latest acquisition is the debut album by our mates in The Darkhorse, "The Carcass of the Sun will Sleep", 8-tracks of NOLA-inspired sludge/doom. The bands round our way are just releasing some absolutely incredible music at present, early releases from Krysthla's second album and From Eden to Exile's debut are astonishingly good. It's a struggle to keep up, every time we try and raise our game, they're already one step ahead.
  2. As mentioned already, vocal style makes or breaks a band for me. The music could be perfection, but if the vocal style isn't my thing, I struggle to listen if I'm honest. Extreme vocals I treat almost as another instrument, lyrically I'm not that fussed, but the more inhuman the sound the better. The late, great Johnny Morrow of Iron Monkey being a perfect example, his vocals are just incomparable.
  3. Well, hello. It's been a while, but we've been away refining our sound and dealing with a few line-up changes. We've just released our latest track "Lizard Method Statement", compared to our previous material it's a huge leap forward for us and very good indicator of where we're going. If you've got just about 5 minutes spare, give it a play, see what you think, link is below. Feedback welcomed. Thanks LIZARD METHOD STATEMENT
  4. Have our EP for FREE, this weekend only. Don't mind if you don't like it, just download it so I can feel good about myself for a microsecond https://siderian.bandcamp.com/album/cancel-your-future
  5. Huge thanks to any of you the helped us get through to the Semi Final of TBFM Factor. We're currently 2nd in the standings and need to finish Top 3 to advance to the final, so same as before click on the link below, then SEMI FINAL 1 and then the vote option for Siderian, it takes less than 30 seconds. No email or log in details, no spam, none of that, just the chance to help an unsigned band get to the FINAL! Any help gratefully received, voting runs until Saturday at 11pm GMT and you can vote once a day should you choose to. Thank you for your time!
  6. Metal Forum users, hello! A small favour? We're currently in a radio-based Battle of the Bands competition called TBFM Factor, which has some pretty fine prizes that could do a lot for us as a band. Essentially, all I ask is that you click on the link below, then Heat 9 and then the vote option for Siderian, it takes less than 30 seconds. No email or log in details, no spam, none of that, just the chance to help an unsigned band get to the semi-finals, you don't even have to listen to any of our music! Any help gratefully received, voting runs until Saturday and you can vote once a day should you choose to. Thank you for your time! www.tbfmfactor.com
  7. Bloopers, outtakes and general tomfoolery from our video shoot
  8. Relapse, Undergroove and Shels* Music have provided me with some of my favourite albums over the years, so to a lesser degree has Earache, although I've heard some less than pleasant things about the way they treat some of their bands.
  9. Deftones Raging Speedhorn The Ocean Mogwai ...that I know about
  10. Back in 1998 I was 15/16 and into Britpop (Oasis, Blur), Nirvana, The Offspring etc. Then I picked up Total Guitar magazine and they had a track on the cover-mount CD by a British rap-metal band called One Minute Silence. That was it. I had literally heard nothing like it before, massive funky bass, razor sharp guitars and killer drums topped off by the vocalist's trademark Irish brogue spitting out these extremely politicised lyrics (OMS were likened to a British RATM for those of you who haven't heard of them), I was instantly hooked. From there it was a continuation into the popular nu-metal of the day, Fear Factory, Korn, System of a Down, Deftones, then heavier stuff; Will Haven, Iron Monkey, Raging Speedhorn, then Decapitated, Mayhem and At the Gates. My journey has been a continuing evolution alongside metal, post-metal, more sludge, a shed-load of grind, a brief and mostly regrettable dalliance with deathcore and a huge, huge appreciation for mathcore/early metalcore bands like Converge, Botch, Coalesce and Cave-In. I will listen to anything with a bit of edge, a bit of bite. I loathe boring, anodyne music of any genre, but One Minute Silence's "Stuck Between a Rock and a White Face" kickstarted me into the world of metal and for that I will always be grateful.
  11. Had a bit of a post-Christmas binge recently (to put it mildly) and picked up: Cult of Luna - Salvation Cult of Luna - Vertikal Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile Lazarus Blackstar - Revelations Lazarus Blackstar - Hymns For the Cursed Down I Go - This is Disastercore Down I Go - Tyrant Black Eye Riot - No Hope, No Future, No Worries Pilgrim Fathers - Short Circular Walks in the Hope Valley Capricorns - River, Bear Your Bones Winnebago Deal - Plato O Plomo Winnebago Deal - Dead Gone The Dukes of Nothing - War & Wine Threat Signal - Under Reprisal Lodown - Black Horse Monster Voodoo Machine - Suffersystem Cog - Sharing Space Days of Worth - The Western Mechanism Helvis - Reverence the Sacrifice Into Another - Seemless Pariso - Nothing Beyond Everything After Phoenix Bodies - Raise the Bullshit Flag Yet to find anything amongst it I actively dislike which is pretty good, because aside from Cult of Luna, NIN and Capricorns, I hadn't heard much, if anything by any of those bands before. Helvis, Lazarus Blackstar and Cog are all real finds.
  12. Ha! I think I will take that as a complement!
  13. Thanks for your responses, we know we're never gonna be world beaters but it's encouraging words like yours that keep us plugging away, the fact that we've smashed 700+ views of the video in well under a week is frankly staggering to me. We've achieved a lot in the 10 months we've been together, the next stage is to bash out an album that really raises our musical bar, more technical, heavier, better songwriting with all members involved in the process. I'll whack any updates on this thread, so if you like us, keep an eye out or give us a like on Facebook (eurgh!!).
