So I've been playing in a DM band for the last 9 months or so, we've finally got a show coming up next month. Anyway, this is our facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/Gorphanage?ref=ts&fref=ts

Here's our soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/gorphanage-1
It's just three tracks we recorded in the practice room sans vocals or competency. The untitled track is the one I wrote.

Like how "untitled" gets going around the 3 minute mark.

I've not listened yet, but I really like the name. It made me chuckle.

Listened to all three. They're quite good, I liked the third one best.

Thanks, fellas.

I like it - nice work Fhil! Your guitar sounds great to me - I've read that Mustaine is pissed with you and says that satan is your right hand man, so good work there.

Regarding Harry J Anslinger (who I had to look up) I wanted to share this great quote from wiki:

"“By the tons it is coming into this country — the deadly, dreadful poison that racks and tears not only the body, but the very heart and soul of every human being who once becomes a slave to it in any of its cruel and devastating forms…. Marihuana is a short cut to the insane asylum. Smoke marihuana cigarettes for a month and what was once your brain will be nothing but a storehouse of horrid specters. Hasheesh makes a murderer who kills for the love of killing out of the mildest mannered man who ever laughed at the idea that any habit could ever get him….”

Anslinger has been accused to be responsible for racial themes in articles against marijuana in the 1930s.
"Colored students at the Univ. of Minn. partying with (white) female students, smoking [marijuana] and getting their sympathy with stories of racial persecution. Result: pregnancy"[16][17] "Two Negros took a girl fourteen years old and kept her for two days under the influence of hemp. Upon recovery she was found to be suffering from syphilis."[17]"

ha! - I love that - 'result: pregnancy'

Thanks, Lawn. And those quotes are brilliant, the bassist thought we needed a pro-marijuana song and so he came up with that one.

Awwww

Only from you, Mo.

That's cause the only thing we used to record it was this: http://www.amazon.com/Zoom-H1-Portable- ... m+recorder

No other mics or anything. In time we shall get some proper recordings done.

The guy we're going with to do the production favors that modern, slick sound (he's done all the Putrid Pile recordings and whatnot) we are going to try to stay away from that. We'd much prefer ye olde Scott Burns sound.

Fact dealt!

When in doubt rip off Slayer, Autopsy, and Deicide.

Debut show tomorrow night! We'll now be covering Raining Blood along with our eight originals.

Let us know how it goes!

Well I hope, and good luck with covering Slayer.

Show went well, live videos!

Thanks! The second one is the middle bit of Raining Blood, it's hard to tell from just 40 seconds. We learned it the day before the show so no vocals were possible.

You could recognise it fine from that clip, Fhil. The drums and riffs were prefectly recognisable.

Took me till the ending riff to figure out what song it was when I watched it

Good stuff, Fhil. I like your pet mentalist.
