This summer, I hope to finally get a real band underway, with me on guitar and vocals. The style is aimed to be very much a hybred of Death/Black Metal with some heavy Gothic influences. If you can imagine meshing Opeth with Collide followed in suit by Tool, you have it. If not, hopefully this summer I can upload a few songs, eh?

I wrote all the songs, as a side note.
Very nice, hopefully I'll be starting a hardcore metal band similar to As Cities Burn (me and the lead singer have nearly identical voices) or Every Time I Die. But yeah, definitely upload some songs Especially if you sound at all similar to Opeth, they're one of my favs.

I have some questions though, since you do temporary vocals, how do you prepare your voice? How do you do with breath control? Have any techniques?

And that's cool that you write, I've been doing it since I was 15, used to write raps (heavy hip-hop influence growing up in Philly). I'd say I was pretty good 'til I quit and moved on from rapping about a year ago, now I just write poetry, but with the way metal bands are going it fits. Norma Jean has some amazing, poetical , so that just inspires me more to write more.

You got any writtens to share?
