I'm just curious, is this band for real? I really don't like to mock other peoples efforts, but I'm having a hard time believing this band is for real. Do they really think they will make it big by implementing every metal cliche to a fault? If they're just doing this for fun, then all the power to them.
The reason why I even bother to bring this up is because the metal scene is getting over-saturated with such acts. It is seriously boring me to tears. --------------------  He who laughs last thinks slowest.

Man that bridge part was one of the more disturbing things I've heard.
I think that was real too. --------------------  |

I would say they put too much effort into the vid for it not to be serious.
And that is definitely the floor of a toilet in't it ? Doesn't look hygienic at all. Hmmmmmm.... -------------------- |

I actually think they're serious, but not something I'd listen to at all..
But hey, at least they got a video out and that's more than some of us

I am sure they are serious about what they do... but it is a thin line between cool and funny and some bands just dont get it right.... I really like metal - I like old school metal with typical posing but that it too much.... who signs these bands?? -------------------- |
