First off, you IMMEDIATELY ruin any chance of anyone taking you seriously when you say 'What's up faggots?'

Secondly, I am not hiding from you. This board allows anonymous posting, and I choose to use it. I am not afraid of the wrath of CSDO! Oh no!

Thirdly, I don't need you to tell me about the local scene. I've been in it just as long, if not longer than you. I thought that was clear from my last post. You can choose to believe that or not, I know the truth so it doesn't matter.

Fourth, PLENTY of bands do work to get people to their shows. Otherwise they wouldn't have a damn person at their shows. And I have seen many local bands here draw FAR more than 50 people. Email can actually be very effective if the people actually want to see the band. Again this is a generalization you have made, I do not know where it comes from.

Lastly, I was not insulting you in my original post, I have no beef with CSDO. I was just pointing out that article had some rather glaring exaggerations, and defending the other local bands you were mocking when I was discussing your lack of a record deal for a very long time. As an honest person loyal to the scene and his roots, you would probably concur when such an exaggeration takes place.

Here is a productive suggestion for your band. Take it or leave it. For the past two decades, CSDO has lacked anything resembling a real band logo. Why not pay someone to design a decent logo, or do it yourself? Even the bands you worship had decent (if simple) logos that are very recognizable and have stood the test of time. 'Candy Striper Death Orgy' is a recognizable name already, just think what you can do with this if you get a decent logo. But take a look at the 'logos' on your website. Is that befitting a thrash band? I think not.

Take a look at the other, younger extreme metal bands around here. Look at the logos for Terminally Your Aborted Ghost (who also have a 4-word long name like yourselves and have an excellent logo for it). Or fuck, look at that band Extinction Agenda, look at their logo. They are a pure speed/thrash band and have an excellent logo. Why haven't you done this yet, man? Are you eternally rebelling against the medium of the metal band logo?

I know some of the guys here are pretty damn harsh on your band, you play a very oldschool type of metal and there is nothing wrong with that. But you cannot remain static for eternity. Some progressions are required at some point, right?
