| ___________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 9:08am - arktouros ""] As much as I hate when bands post "unmixed demo tracks" you guys are good. Put at least some effort into the sound and I'll buy it. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 9:10am - MikeOv ""] Band sounds very heavy live. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 9:12am - arktouros ""] I can tell...I mean I actually listened to the entire demo, haha. Sucks their next show is in NJ... |
| _________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 9:20am - MikeOv ""] These guys are definitely writing the most quality death metal within New England. I'm of the opinion that Blessed Offal are at their best when they slow things down. |

I prefer gritty production for this style over well-produced stuff any day. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 9:48am - arktouros ""] I don't mind rough production. Some of my favorite albums of all time have terrible production (Bathory, Alters of Madness, etc...) and keep in mind dude there's not a day when I don't listen to black metal of any kind. But there's a difference between when a band puts a couple mics in the practice room and tries to pass it off as "hey guys our new recording is better than other rehersal recordings" rather than a fine-tuned attention to detail where even if a band has a very low-fi sound it becomes unique and adds to the listening experience. Not to say that Blessed Offal has no attention to detail - but I can't see why a band doesn't just wait and spend the time to make a recording their own before they just post a song for the sake of putting more material on their Myspace. Either way it fucking rocks and you just sold me a ticket to your next show in the area. |

| ____________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 9:50am - arilliusbm ""] Word. one of my friends will only listen to stuff that was produced in a studio. He can't stand anything DIY or recorded on a 4 track etc. Transylvanian Hunger? Shit's thrown in the garbage at his house |

Not like your style should be produced much anyway...as long as you can play it loud. |

Put at least some effort into the sound and I'll buy it. we mainly did this so that we could at least have some sort of semi-finished recording ready for new jersey death fest. EDIT: just uploaded 2 unmixed tracks from upcoming album as well |

Blasting in DM is essential, but everything should be varied and well placed. The slow parts in your songs have that old school DM / Doom feel, which seems to be lacking around these parts. |
