We are in the music discussion section. |
So true. Cannibal Corpse (like a lot of black metal bands) are abysmal.
Anywho, A7X are decent (I actually liked their latest album...) but I don't like Dream Theater. A7X should just be keeping with the direction that they've been going with because it is working. If Portnoy Dream Theaterizes their sound it can only make it worse imo. Besides, even if I did like DT, that style wouldn't suit A7X at all.
Also, there are better drummers in the department of prog. I wouldn't call Portnoy the best. |

Has it been cleared up as to whether or not he's writing with them? I was under the impression that he was just recording the songs with them. _________________

he's just recording, they've written most of the album already, the rev had actually already recorded some parts to his songs lyrically and drums wise and shown them to his parents. _________________

So why is there so much talk about whether or not Portney is going to influence them or not, if he's just recording?
EDIT: Also, I just realized that Portney and I share the same first name. _________________

cuz regardless or not, they could be recording, and mike could throw in some more ideas into their songs and whatnot, that's just what i can gather. I know they're already done writing, i've been looking at their official page, myspace and wikipedia since it was announced that they were writing for a new album (yeah i'm obsessed you wanna fight about it?). _________________

Wow, I never even thought about that.

From Mike Portnoy's Twitter:
Quote: | Just finished the A7X drum tracks...what an amazing experience! Me & Zacky celebrated by getting matching Death Bat tats here in the studio. I must thank the amazing A7X fans for being so open and welcoming to me..I was fearing them being very defensive over The Rev's drum throne. But they've all been so supportive, open-minded, understanding and excited by the news...it is a huge relief to me and the guys...what an awesome family spirit these guys have...lotsa love! Hopefully this wont be the last time we play together.. |
I can't believe he already finished. I hope this turned out really good. _________________

Maybe Mike Portnoy will also take over The Rev's backing vocals? XD |

Can you try to keep this on-topic before you get this thread deleted. You can discuss "dark" themes and "black/doom metal" in The Metal Thread.
Back to seriousness. Does anyone know an exact date for the album's release? _________________
