Do you like your metal heavy & hard???

[Cosmicman]

Thanks Brad. I didn't expect to get too many people to like Fatal Agenda here. We are a metal band you can't put us in a bracket with other bands and when you can't do that it frustrates people.
The fact you saw us play live Brad gives you the picture. Thanks for bailing me out of the shark pit. We got a new song Brad. Hit me up on Facebook I can't play it here without getting banned. LOL PEACE

There is obviously quite a few metal fans here. So, I really don't think people are frustrated. Metal is known to be a fairly diverse genre that suits a wide range of tastes. I watched the video. I can see a lot King Diamond and Insane Clown Posse influences. Personally, never cared for rap mixed in with metal. But to each their own. It's well done for that type of metal.

While this isn't my favorite type of metal, I must say that a few of your songs did sound pretty good. I have to give you much respect for living out your dream and doing what you love to do.

I'm not a big heavy metal fan.

But what Wrathdemon does takes a lot of guts.

For the harsh critics in here, I'd love to see you up on stage singing and playing your hearts out in front of a crowd.

I always kind of liked Primus' approach. When the band's most earnest fans say "Primus sucks!" what can others really say about them? Anyway, Wrathdemon, Fatal Agenda's okay by me. I'm more of a early-80s Euro metal guy, but anyone out there keeping metal alive deserves props. Blackie Lawless would be proud of you.

I love all sorts of music including Heavy Metal. I was the co-founder of a Metal site/forum for nearly a decade. (Metal Coven) I'm currently a founding member of Metal Psalter. Metal is a very diverse genre and there's room for everyone. I'm a huge fan of traditional Metal and the NWOBHM.

I'm playing Girlschool's first album right now. I've been listening to Motorhead and Saxon for most of the day.

Yesterday I played mostly Jimmie Rodgers & The Original Carter Family.

Talk about going from one extreme to another.

I was a metal and prog rock writer/reviewer/interviewer for around twelve years and have talked to bands and musicians from all over the globe and had to decifer various accents and had to listen to some stuff out of my comfort zone. There are so many sub-genres to metal that you do not find in any other style of music. There is usually a depth to the music and quite a writing and recording process. There are many talented pop, country and R and B artists, but the vast majority is completely superficial and without substance. I can appreciate Cat's stuff here and it's cool there's an audience for this, it's just not for me. I pretty much got burned out on music a few years ago and haven't had the passion since. My personal music library is 95 percent metal and prog rock. The rest is probably movie soundtracks and classic rock.

[Merlyn1976]

Out of curiosity are your standards for metal that is "hard" or "heavy" like real extreme stuff?

I picture you listening to bands like CANNIBAL CORPSE, NAPALM DEATH or NUCLEAR ASSAULT if you find FATAL AGENDA tame.

No D.R.I? I love me some thrash man...

Neat!

Sounds good. A bit rough around the edges, but some good stuff there. I can definitely hear a nu metal influence, with an odd touch of 80's style proto-power metal. The makeup's a nice touch, but it's pretty close to the "standard" metal style.... so it doesn't stand out like it could.

Unmutual! UNMUTUAL!!!!

VERY true!

Hee heee.... true; but if you're gonna be an artist you gotta gtet used to the harshest of critics. Shrugging off the haters is an important skill. (I learned that one the hard way when one of my personal heroes critiqued my stuff with the equivalent of "no skill, no talent, do the world a favour and jump in front of a bus.")

>In an era where all we get is contrived country and rap artists, it would be nice to hear a new metal band that can get back on the radio

Don't forget the mindlessly upbeat pop! I can't.... no matter how hard I try.

Thank you for the King Diamond reference, he is my idol. As for the ICP. I absolutely hate those posers. I don't know how you see and their junk in our music...ugh.
THERE IS NO RAP IN OUR MUSIC. You were not watching a video of ours. LOL


Thank you thought

Thanks you. I took a chance posting here knowing this board basically posts/belongs to a guy who hates my guts but what the heck. I love alot of you and I knew you see it. You rock!

OH my GOD. Offline me sometime. I need to tell you a story about playing in Milwaukee with Blackie Lawless (WASP) He is a real ******* and my guitar player plugged up the toilet on his tour bus. Funny stories!!

Saw Iron Maiden w/ Alice Cooper in Charlotte, NC last Thursday.

And it was awesome.

It's OK Hector. Allister and I have been battling these types of crowds for a long time. If we don't fall into the KISS bracket then we fall back into the SATANIC bracket. Which we are neither. People feel better putting a label on band and just can rest easy saying, "Hey these guys are like nobody."

I mean really. Take off our stage costumes, listen to our band....we sound like nobody. Each song we do is different vocally and musically. Some bands cannot do that. Listen to the song "Circus Boy" PLEASE (we have no video...yet)

http://www.fatalagenda.com

I will be doing a series of shows going up California and coming back and going up other states and ending up in Seattle, Washington. I'll send you map Hector. We can meet and I'll get you a free pass and place for you to sit down (since you have a bum knee). I'd like to meet you Hector the most!

I'm bringing some MEGOS with. You never know who you'll meet.

You can tell I like Hector. I designed a character I made after him.
