Finally, we have done what we had hoped to accomplish months ago.
Our cover of the first half of "Orion" by Metallica is on YouTube. Go and search "zanthaphobia" in the main search page look for one produced by "zanthaphobia".
Sorry I can't get a link to you guys, I'm at school right now and YouTube is blocked, so no link.
THIS IS OUR FIRST VIDEO AND WE DO NOT PRACTICE REGULARLY SO DON'T LAUGH.

Please leave...nice...feedback.

dude that was awesome.

the link so everyone doesnt have to go to youtube.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=AY5VbXKJcbE

Yeah - very nice. Your guitar player totally rocks out, makes it very entertaining to watch.

Good on you for playing some cool old stuff too.

Thank you guys!
I thought I was gonna get ripped! lol
yeah thanx for putting up the link, i was excited and just had to get it on the forums.

Not bad...I'm not really into that type of music but hey it's pretty good....

Metallica's not generally my cup of tea, but sounds like you're off to a good start. And your guitar man's fun to watch like jobby said...he was doin' some serious rockin'!

Good job, dudes!

:icon_cool:

comon dude headbang like ur guitarist !! u guys r awesum !

very good

goood quality too which is nice

and IDS is right go crazy like the guitarist, half a bands talent is in the show

Diggin the dreds too or wat i thought were dreds maybe there not

No they are not dreds, lol but now that you mention it...
Yeah its kinda hard to get into it when your holding back 3000 decibals of pure drum!:icon_mrgreen:
But thanx you guys for your advice and feedback, we'll get somemore on this weekend.

Question: Did you guys think that the Orion By Metallica thing at the begining and the credits were cheesy?

no just informative :)

Okay, we are going to that everytime then, just because I think it looks nice and informative lol:icon_mrgreen:
But now we are limited to what we can only jam to, because we have no singer.
Dale (the guitarist) can sing a little bit, but naturally its going to hinder his playing.

Question #2: Could you hear the bass okay? I think it needed alot more cranking.

more cranking

i love songs with more bass, the more bass the better

plus if your guitarist has an ego problem, which of course most do this will bring his ego down

cuz in my experience guitarists always wanna turn bassists down

No he doesn't have an ego problem, he is trying to keep me from blowing up my camera with a ton of bass.
But its kinda funny...we got a singer and a rhythm guitarist in one day!
Really the rhythm guitarist was kinda iffy( and still is cuz we haven't heard him "jam") and the singer is the old singer from my old band who quit for..wait I don't know why he quit....
Oh well...

Question #3:
Should I get one of those plexi-glass drum shields so I can go crazy but keep the volume down?

Not bad at all, you can't really go wrong with such a great song, I think I was most impressed with the bassist, you were all really good, but the bassist stood out for me, very cool guys.

the intro thing, should have something more like your band name playing whatever your playing, like zanthaphobia covering metallica's Orion, get your name out there.

OMG! Oops I forgot to mention that Zanthaphobia isn't our band name, its just our channel.
I don't know about you but "the fear of Yellow" doesn't sound near as cool as Audiometry.

We are not worried about a name near as much we are worried about getting our skills up and writing our own stuff.

lol, Cool man it is just good since you are working so hard on your sounds and writing, people should be able to associate that to a name, it is called planting a seed, give them a name, write your awesome songs, and then when you are ready to present those songs, they will recognize your name a say HELL YEA, I am going to go see them, has worked great for us.

Yeah well that would be easy but..
Mi no habla ingles!
lol
Seriously, we have trying to think of a name forever! And it is making my brain fry! I thought of one once: Overdose
But Dale and Josh(bassist) shot that one down.

you should name your band candlelight chaos, I thnk that is just a sick name, I love it, very catchy, very cool, what do you think of that.

you should name your band candlelight chaos, I thnk that is just a sick name, I love it, very catchy, very cool, what do you think of that.
I agree, Candlelight Chaos is a perfect name for a metal band.

I threw that by them once, I think...

Can't remember if they said it was good or bad... I'll talk to then this weekend and see what they think.

In the mean time, help me think of a name people! lol

how about "the cheese machines" ??

The name of Your band reflects alot of what type of music You play,And the overall vibe of the Band.My bands name is "This Tragic Ending"...And we play a unique Post-Hardcore/Emo/Hardcore type of music.So pick a name that will reflect the type of music You play.I mean I have plently of names like Ablissful Ending,Etc...Alot of stuff like that but I don't think thats what Your looking for.Also Don't buy the drum shield,It would be a waste if You are ever going to play live or if the other band members ever get Half stacks....

I'm not a huge fan of the whole emo community, in fact most of the emos I know are sad, stupid, "feel sorry for me", and cut themselves!(which I think is about as sick as you can get besides woman beating) and they (meaning the ones I know) are always complaining about how life sucks for them and their girlfriend of boyfriend broke up with them and they can't get over it and......OMG! It makes me wanna scream at the top of my lungs at them: "GET OVER IT!!"

But that's just me, and again that is only the ones I know and there are good and bad people in every kind of group.

Candlelight I completely agree, they all need prozac or something, I mean come on, life can be hard at times, but you don't need to dwell on it, and live your life according to the saddest part of it, seriously I hate Emo, Hardcore music, they all sound the same, just a bunch of noise and some dude screaming at the top of his voice, that kind of music in my opinion displays ZERO talent and no creative appeal whatsoever, anybody can pick up an instrument and bang, scream and yell and call it emo or hardcore, ANYBODY.

But like candlelight chaos said " But that's just me, and again that is only the ones I know and there are good and bad people in every kind of group", but mainly just emo, and hardcore.

Lol, well all of my ex-girlsfriends have been, are, or are going emo. So I guess it is just a curse.
I don't hate emos I just hate the whinny ones. I know one cool emo, and he barely qualifies as emo in the first place!

Hey guys i am new. My older brother actually is candlelight we share the set and he is way better than me but i am still learning. Emos are stupid besides the happy ones all i hear about are Emos cuttin and stuff stupid losers Is what Emos are.

Emos are stupid besides the happy ones

Haha... That doesn't even qualify them to be emo's. They're just sheep and following the trend. In fact, those are probably worse than the sad, depressed emos.

At least the sad emos aren't sellouts to pop culture.

HB58

You are actually right as you can see me and my bro are in to Metallica but i really can only play "Enter Sandman" still i am a noob but i do know a Emo when i see one.

CC, you guys sound pretty good. Keep up the good work. I thought it was kinda funny that your bass player seems to be looking at the guitarist in awe during the solo. I would pump the bass up a little bit and you guys will have a good sound. Cheers!

Well guys, I'm sorry but I can't get anything on this weekend, It will have to wait until next weekend. First our temporary vocalist was a no-show (meaning he said he would be there and then he said he could and didn't, like he always does) and then my camera got wet for reasons unknown, and its not working.

But on a brighter note, our rhythm guitarist might actually make the cut!

Please excuse me for double posting but I need Drumchat's Opinion on this.

Does the name "Nightmare" sound emo to you guys and girls?

Yes nightmare is a stupid name, sorry man, seriously you need to use candlelight chaos, that is such a cool, catchy name, why do they not light this name?

Yes, Nightmare sounds very emo

wow dude i really liked ur video it was kewl

Emo
Emo
Emo
Emo
Emo
Emo
Emo
Emo

Candlight Chaos= Amazing

Candlelight Chaos ALL THE WAY, this does not imply EMO, I despise emo crap, I would not suggest candlelight chaos if I thought at all it sounded emo, dude, this is the band name you need, seriously, it sounds awesome.

Solid cover Candlelight. I would just make one piece of constructive criticism. How are your toms tuned? They didn't sound all that great on the video.

Don't buy a perspex case, they suck.

No, ddrumbum, the worst is the emo's that play like one note on a guitar for the whole song and then have a whiny voice telling you how much their life sucks.

HB58

hellbells, very true, it's like really messed up country music

Hehe, country music is more like a note and then a chord and then another note and a different chord. It gets hella repetitive, but it's done so that the attention is focused on the lyrics to stop people going insane.

As for the lyrics of country, most of the time its about leading a hard knock life, but you end up getting through the day. Emo is about making yourself believe you lead a hard knock life, but don't tend to seek any resolution for your problems and just stay in a big spiral of depression.

HB58

lol hellsbells you are my new friend, I love how you knock Emo, you are so dead on it is scary, Emo is truly just really stupid music(or noise rather)

HB58

In the words of Ray Charles!
"I like country music becuase of the stories they tell, they just good stories."
R.I.P. Ray Charles Robinson

And as for my toms, I didn't tune them for a video, I tuned them for 120 watts of guitar, 60 watts of bass, and 25 watts of rhythm guitar. That way I have a clean and audible tom sound with my bandmates playing at full capacity.

Being Emo has NOTHING to do with Emo/Hardcore music.Emo=Emotional.ALL MUSIC IS EMOTIONAL! So don't just say that You hate emo music because technically all music is emo.I KNOW that You were talking about me when You said You hated emo people and emo music.You could atleast listen before You say You hate it...

Keith...

ALL music is not EMO, far from it, emo is dark, depressing, no talent music, how can you even say that all music is technically EMO, are you nuts, you obviously have no idea what true music is, I know for a fact the blues, jazz, rock, funk, or metal HAS NOTHING to do with emo, sorry man but you are very wrong.

in ALL the emo bands I have heard, there has not been one that I liked, the music is horrible, the vocals are completely annoying, and in MOST CASES the lyrical content is very sad and depressing, who really wants to listen to that crap, I mean what do you really get from EMO, honestly?

All music has Emotion in it so there for it's emo.Not all EMO is depressing...There's PLENTLY of happy songs that are played by a band under a Emo genre.A few of our Songs are sad/depressing but they are about Break up's,Etc...But for the most part,Our music isn't all sad/depressing...

ya but just because music has emotion doesn't mean it is the emotion emo style music refers to.

Take it this way, Emo=emotional, the emotional part in emo is like the sad depressing emotions you go through during a thing such as a breakup or death or something, that's the emotion emo refers too, I think we can all agree that all music has emotion but not that kind.

And yes not all emo songs are depressing but it is the same kind of music style still, whiny vox, whiny guitar, whiny crap, whether it be depressing or upbeat, still the same style. The lyrics are a part of what makes the emo genre they're only a contributer to it though not the whole thing. Another thing I'm not bashing emo, becuase I listen to some "emo" classified bands, such as:
Coheed and Cambria
Anberlin
ect.

But look at the original emo bands like Fall Out Boy, they're new CD isn't friggen emo it's like Dance/Pop/Boy band music. Emo music is just like grunge originally it did have some form of identity, but now it's just falling away. In the next ten years emo will be gone, because it covers such a wide range of music, from dance Fall Out Boy, to Alternative Coheed and Cambria to like sad depressing scene bands.

In closing emo does have it's good points but it's not the lyrics that classify it as emo, just because a band writes about a break up doesn't instantly make them an emo band. It's a compilation of the music sound and lyrics and dress/clothes. But like I said the genre will be abolished in the near future anyways, just like grunge, hair metal, and good ol' classic rock.

amp

I second that, and I still hate everything about emo junk music.

I KNOW that You were talking about me when You said You hated emo people and emo music.

That's a bit of a jump to a conclusion, isn't it?

Yes, all music contains emotion, but the label "emo" is stuck on bands that have a particular focus on depression and the melancholy.

Actually, the term Emo came originally from Emotional Hardcore i.e. originally a punk genre with emotional lyrics. If you look at Hardcore, it's usually more focused on the music than the lyrics (i.e. the music will be good, but no-one will care what the singer sounds like e.g. HORSE the Band). Thus, emo has become a sad derivative of Punk and Hardcore.

Since then, it's spawned innumerous bands trying to capatilize on the current trend (Bright Eyes, James Blunt, My Chemical Romance etc etc.) and even changed some band's images to increase their sales (remember Green Day, they used to be Punk, and they used to be good).

As Amp pointed out, this "genre" won't be around in about 10 years. It's just a fad that will die out as soon as MTV finds the next flavour of the month, and teenagers instantly adopt it. I have a feeling its going to become awful pop-rap myself. You know, the ones where rappers rap about useless topics like Red Hair or whatever (Think Sean Desmond and Massari) instead of trying to be gangsta.

HB58

I'm not saying that all music is Classified as Emo,I'm trying to say all music has Emotion to it.I agree that some Emo genre bands are kind of annyoing,But seriously give This Tragic Ending (http://www.myspace.com/thistragicendingband) a Chance.

We just did a HUGE line-Up change so check us out,Along with our NEW recording...

www.myspace.com/thistragicendingband

Ok. I listened to your song and I really didn't think it was that great.

And anyway, since when did your band become the subject? I thought we we're debating about Emo culture.

HB58

Does everyone just ****ing Hate me or sompthing??? Seriously I was didn't mean to get on anyones bad side or anything.I just wanted to voice my opinion.I mean I don't really care either way if You like my Band or not,But alteast give ALL types of music a chance.Don't just say You hate sompthing because it's Classed as Emo...

Again I agree with hellsbells58, please don't take this wrong, but the quality ios so poor, you can hardly here anything, the singer is aweful, seriously the best part is you, the drummer, other than that it is aweful, I am sorry, I am just being honest, but your drumming is good.

I don't because it is classed as emo, I hate it because of the sound that emo is, this at least in my opinion has nothing to do with you, this is not directed at you, this is directed at your style of music, nothing more, you are a great drummer, and I truly think you are wasting your talent on such a worthless style of music.

Two things:

1) I don't want a crucifixion of emos here. I don't hate emos and I don't like their MAINSTREAM music, but I respect the fact that they are making more money than me and probably getting more of other thnigs than I am.

2) I thought this was supposed to be about MY band!!!:confused:

1. No-one on Drumchat hates you.
2. You aren't on anyone's bad side.
3. You voiced your opinion, and so did we.
4. I do give all types of music a chance, but that doesn't mean I'm going to instantly take to a band in a genre. It needs to impress me.
5. I don't believe I ever said "I hate your music because it's classified as Emo".

Next, I'll whole-heartedly agree with ddrumbum. That the best part of your music is you. However, I'll deviate from his opinion slightly. If you are happy playing what you are playing, then by all means play it. I mean, when I tell people that I play metal and they don't like it, I don't care what they think. I'm doing it because I love it and it challenges me, not because people want me to and definately not for the money.

That being said, if you are just playing the music for the money, and the popularity, I think you have the wrong idea about music.

You respect bands on a purely monetary level? Read above.

HB58

Now that that has been said, can we all just get along? lol...

Anyways!
I have a Question!
We might have a gig coming up! Its a pep rally for our basketball team and I live in redneck central with a small group of preps who happen to know (and like a little bit) Enter Sandman.
We need some examples of country/rock that we could play. (Just to please the crowd)

Come on Drumchat, don't fail me now!

And about the money thing in my last post, that was a total joke...I thought people might get a laugh out of it...my bad...

play some skynyrd, you can never go wrong with a few good skynyrd songs.

yeah we thought that too...
until the band before us butchered Sweet Home Alabama....so we are just going to learn Gimme 3 Steps and Free Bird.

Free bird is probably one of the best songs EVER, but this has got to be played to it's perfection, or you will butcher it, and kill the whole feel, sounds pretty cool, candlelight chaos.

Hey BTW has you guys settled on a name yet? I am telling you man candlelight chaos is where it's at, keep pushing them.

Plus, if you learn Freebird you'll always have it ready for when the time comes when you get heckled.

HB58

Thanks for not hating me,And I appoligize for taking over the thread alittle.I do agree that as long as Your having fun playing what You play then keep it up.I'm not playing for money,I play because I enjoy it.This Tragic Ending is going throught ALOT of MAJOR changes.We are going to play alittle heavier,Okay ALOT.We are looking to switch styles...Mabe sompthing like my old band "A Hero A Fake"...The recordings on their myspace is me on the drums...www.myspace.com/xaheroafakex I will keep You posted on whats happening with TTE...

I don't because it is classed as emo, I hate it because of the sound that emo is, this at least in my opinion has nothing to do with you, this is not directed at you, this is directed at your style of music, nothing more, you are a great drummer, and I truly think you are wasting your talent on such a worthless style of music.

I wish my lawn was emo ... then it would cut itself. :icon_lol:

Nice drumming in that one, and a much better recording. Question though: What happened with that band?

HB58

Thanks for not hating me,And I appoligize for taking over the thread alittle.I do agree that as long as Your having fun playing what You play then keep it up.I'm not playing for money,I play because I enjoy it.

Its cool dawg, and you keep playing what you love and good things are bound to happen. They have happend to me and will happen to you.
And when we get famous we will open for each other when we are on tour... lol

Yea man that sounds good to me.We are actually planning on touring in New Jersey and a few places on the way this summer...

oh well...I meant that as a joke... But hey! I'll come see you guys! If That means anything. lol:icon_mrgreen:

play also some thin lizzy thatd work.

OKay, I'll keep that one in mind. People seem to know that song around here, and we aim to play a bunch of songs that they like and then play something like Pantera's "Revolution Is My Name" just so they know we can freaking ROCK!!!

WTF! candelight, it's flaw man... 3guys in a shed?! are you fogeting my [I]rythem[I] guitar, lol:icon_mrgreen:

Sorry dawg!
Everyone, this is Austin Flaugh, he is our iffy rhythm guitarist/drummer.
Everyone in my band can play drums a little bit....that's not good is it?

Sorry for double posting but I had to bring this up.

We just recently got done working our way through a potential song.
Now the thing about it is: its not exactly mainstream. It starts out hard, like something out of Trivium, but then works it way out to something like Foo Fighters.

Is this good or bad?

Sounds cool, lets hear it.

uh... um... well... see... uh... um... er....
that's the thing about it again...
my camera is shot, so we can't get it recorded....YET!!!
Its like they say! If there is a will there is a way!:icon_mrgreen:

That was pretty sick. You look like a zombie on the drums though, haha.

Again I agree with hellsbells58, please don't take this wrong, but the quality ios so poor, you can hardly here anything, the singer is aweful, seriously the best part is you, the drummer, other than that it is aweful, I am sorry, I am just being honest, but your drumming is good.

i said pretty much the same thing.

That was pretty sick. You look like a zombie on the drums though, haha.

HAHAHA!
I know...its hard to get into it when you are trying to play quieter than you normally do. :icon_mrgreen:
