hey guys, playing with you would be fun. we could always use a supporting act, and as it just so happens we should have a show coming up (actually was to be our demo show last week, but got postponed, so if we could work something out you'd be playing with the best bands in the area) anyways, send us an email with contact info and all that good stuff, i'll talk to some friends and keep you posted.
on another note, our demo is now available online at http://www.cafepress.com/todesfaust
thanks guys - Murezor
Wow Dive Bomber kicks ass! Fade to black? Not so much. Maybe a retake of it would help. Other than it, everything else is really good! You guys keep rocking, and ill keep listening!
I'm sure you will agree with me that the intro to FADE has some weird moments in there but you pulled it off nicely, your vibrato is great. Whoever is singing needs to put a liitle more soul into it man, remember this is MetallicA we're talking about, its a song about agony darkness and desperation, I did not get that from the vocals, the recording is not that great but the band is playing real well even with the crappy sound, the guitars are doing a great job, and I am very impressed with the solo, again, a couple of hickups here and there but a good job overall. Hope to see more stuff from you guys in the near future. Take care my friends!!

hi guys!
keep up the good work!
if you like heavy metal check out for my band!!!
... wow is all i have to say after reading that last message, you guys did really well. especially considoring youve only been together for a few months. the solos were fine. that was a good take considoring youd only played it once before as a band and, you should never judge a band by its covers so i will wait until you post some origionals up here to say anything out of line. but dudes, this sh*** rocks...
