Well these last months I have learned how hard it is to complete something when
You have got a baby in the house Your windows disk crashes Your vst instruments freeze every other Cubase session...  Nevertheless I finally have got a new mix for you - and as always I really appreciate your comments. I am not 100 % sure about the sound yet - any help is welcome! Lyric wise this song is about one of the most peculiar phenomenons of our century: Modern men who organize themselves to go kill each others (and kill innocent people as well) in wars. You'd think our brains would have evolved enough for us to find other methods of solving conflicts. REAL MEN DON'T FIGHT 
real_men_dont_fight16.mp3 ( 9.06MB )
Number of downloads: 99I pray for your compassion I live just like a mole My life is free from fashion Come join me in my hole No more we fill your cage No plan is worth the price One final act of rage So roll the dice Calling all men left on board Real men don't fight You kill for your distraction You murder just for fun The time has come for action Our vengeance hits you numb We conquer with our minds We combat just with words Our tactics leave you behind Deserting hurts Calling all men left on board Real men don't fight wars SOLO This song is dedicated to all the pathetic leaders of the world Who haven't yet learned to use their brain instead of their muscles To solve conflicts Thereby murdering millions of innocent people YOU can change this If the leaders in your country are engaged in a war, don't accept it Go out in the streets and protest! Be a man! Not one more war Calling all men left on board Real men don't fight Do you know why all these warheads choose to use their muscles instead of their brain? - Because they don't have any brain Let's get rid of their muscles too edit - old mix here:

Love the sound!
Minor typo, its "ROLL the dice, not role" But I think you knew that:D And, to be honest, I dont think " we combat with.." is a proper sentence, we combat, is not possible, sorry. "Because they dont have any brainS" Big mamajama solo man! love it:D This post has been edited by Jesse: Aug 19 2009, 06:00 PM -------------------- Don't just play it. Feel it!

I like the voice in the mix, it goes through pretty well. Riffing sounds powerful, the combination once again reminds me of Metallica with a scent of Rammstein (no german this time!)
Nice Kris

QUOTE (Kristofer Dahl @ Aug 19 2009, 06:02 PM) Really? I am into deep then...hmm does "Our combat - just with words" work better? The problem here is that 'Combat' is a noun, not a verb! So.. 'We make combat just with words' or 'We make Combat with only Words' would work!! Or 'Our Combat... just with words' also worksd! Apart from that.... I like it Kris, as already mentioned a cross of early Metallica and Rammstein!! -------------------- I'd rather have a full Bottle in front of me than a Full Frontal Lobotomy!    |

Thanks anyway! edit - I looked it up and it seems "combat" can be used as a verb (well according to Google Translate at least!  )

Yes combat can be used as verb I've heard that in use several times.
I'm currently listening on laptop speakers so I shouldn't give any mix comments, but I think the song itself is very good. Nice tight riff and cool vocals, cool metal song!

wow man! this´s awesome!!! I love the song, the attitude,the strength of the voice, the riffing, all!!! really really like it!
from my point of view, always you sing with a message you´ll express yourself in a different way. is not the same to sing: "This song is dedicated to all the pathetic leaders of the world" than: "oh, look at that Blue Cow" x_X you know what I mean. congrats! glad to see this side of you! \m/ -------------------- |

Very nice riff man! I really like the few solo notes after the power chord. I have to say I'm not very fond of your singing style, but I think that is just personal taste, since other people have said they really liked it! Some cool sweeps in the solo man!
