GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ My First Album!

Posted by: Iluha Oct 18 2009, 06:46 PM



My band and I just finished our first album, while not a commercial album, it has 10 songs and will be sold on our shows.
we worked really hard on it, and it sounds amazing!
nothing innovative, just pure good hard rocking, with great drums, bass lines, great guitar solos, powerful vocals.
Something which is actually very missing in Hebrew music, so I hope we will be able to lead a rock revolution here.

Hopefully some songs will be up on myspace soon.

I'm just thrilled, this is a dream come true for me(even if I'm not the guitarist) to have a CD with my name on it and one that I'm very proud of, we worked really hard on it, and hopefully it will pay off smile.gif

Definitely man, hopefully with the cd out we'll start preforming outside the north area.

That's awesome mate biggrin.gif
Congratulations!!!

I've been mixing a blackmetal album lately, and have started mastering it now.
It will be released almost worldwide later this year.
This is my first time mixing a real album, with a great band, so I'm pretty thrilled biggrin.gif

It's a great feeling when you've accomplished something like that, and I'm sure you feel the same way smile.gif

Keep rocking mate!

Congratulations my friend! Publishing first CD is a great step for individual and a band! I wish you a success promoting it and hope to hear some material from it soon! smile.gif

They're called ELD smile.gif
Former name was A Winter Within.
This is the second album under the name ELD.
The drummer have played and released albums with Forlorn, Gehenna and Aeturnus in the past.
Oh, and he's one of the best drummers I've heard and seen ever smile.gif

It's a really great album to be honest.
Slow melodic (gloomy), full blast, and in between with grimvocals as well as some clean backing vocals etc.

I'll let you know when it's out wink.gif

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Oct 19 2009, 12:06 AM

That is indeed a great success man, congratulations! I wish you many more successful albums to come! smile.gif

Congrats Iluha smile.gif
Gonna check the thread!

Posted by: Iluha Oct 19 2009, 07:30 PM



here's another song, a ballad(hebrew sorry tongue.gif)
this song has the best guitar solo of the entire CD in my opinion.

Posted by: David Wallimann Oct 19 2009, 08:03 PM

This sounds really good!
You should sell this online, it is really good!

Thanks man smile.gif
we might, the fear is of piracy, in Israel it's VERY evident..

Congrats Iluha! Really good song! smile.gif

Posted by: Fran Oct 19 2009, 09:31 PM

Congrats Iluha, nice sound there smile.gif

Posted by: Marcus Siepen Oct 20 2009, 12:10 PM

Congratulations, the song from that video sounds really nice, well done

Posted by: Iluha Oct 20 2009, 03:34 PM

Thank you all for the kind words!

Posted by: enforcer Oct 20 2009, 04:12 PM

Great job Iluha, somehow it reminded me of Nickelback. You really did an awesome job on overall quality of the final product. Hope one day a recording company would apreciate this and make you a good marketing investiment. This album really deserves it...

Take Care

Can

Posted by: paintman88 Oct 20 2009, 05:34 PM

congratz hope you sell out at a show soon

Acutally the guy who did the mastering used Nickelback as a reference for sound, so maybe that's the reason.

Thanks you smile.gif I hope so too.

Wow, that's super cool! And did you use home recording only? Or did you hire a studio?

Does that really matter to you? Isn't it more important (for now) to grant some name, then to make money? IMHO it would be better if you have 20 sold cd's and 20 million illegal downloads of the album, then 25 sold cd's.... These number are extremely exagerated ofcourse biggrin.gif

BTW... extremely cool vocals tongue.gif

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Oct 24 2009, 09:06 PM

Just listened to the ballad! It sounds great man! I wish you a success with CD! smile.gif Don't discard the option of selling CD online (piracy is always hard to beat regardless if CD can be bought on shows or online) since its a great system of distribution for your music worldwide! smile.gif

Posted by: Sergio Dorado Oct 24 2009, 09:15 PM

Sounds really great. Good theme and very well recorded. Congrats for all!!

Well, we just don't want to be TOO availble, the cd in itself is for promotional purposes mostly, and part of the idea is to have people really want to hear us instead of just anyone just getting mp3's of the songs.

Thanks man, you'r from Israel originally?

Posted by: Iluha Oct 28 2009, 03:39 PM

OK, yesterday we had our CD release show, and man it was awesome!
I'm starting to work on our myspace page now, it will have our entire cd up for listening, and videos from the show, I'll open a new thread when it's done.
