I don't know if there's a conservatoire or opera-house nearby. Even classical can help since after all what matters is voice control. And after all opera singer learn power, control and repeatability without having voice problems.

Any solution enabling him to overcome the wall he'll soon meet working on his own, again if he doesn't have classes already.

I guess it's the right time since he's been serious enough to get there and everyone get more and more pro.

Yeah, he's already taking classes. It's been immensely helpful, mostly because on the last EP he sung more with his throat (newbie mistake) but now he uses his entire body. With even more lessons he will hopefully become really good at the technical aspects of singing soon enough.

Amazing, talk about a non linear progression... Skyrocketing towards awesomeness!

I want a live in Paris, under the Eifel Tower, and I want it NOW!

(There's the "Fête de la musique" 06/21/09 in Paris for example

)

Long Live SAI !

Nice, it sounds awesome.

Wow you guys changed the vocals I remember the first terra band thread, and the vocals were crazy. Looks like you guys are about to "move on up"! Maybe see your asses on MTV.

**Archangel** · Tue, 03-31-2009, 01:09 PM

Overall impression: Good

Shit not so good: Not enough Terra

I like the music, downloading the mp3 right now

Thanks my mates, really appreciate it!

Hopefully things keep advancing. Would be totally sweet to play around in the world and meet up with the lot of you

Camera movement annoys me deeply in this video, but music is pretty good - not in my tastes but pretty good. And your vocalist looks weird to me - something between emo-guy and fat emo-girl... but looks dosen't matter - if he is the same guy from neurotic disorder he made huge improvement(i can listen to him instead of holding my hands to prevent ripping my ears).
Thank god that you are not another Gorgoroth...

Holy Cow!! You guys are climbing the ladder like crazy now. Damn them for not showing enough of Terra though

Keep it up!! -> ripping the HD clip from YouTube

I usually don't sign into gotwoot anymore, but instead just browse around the threads. But I felt like I had to give my props. This is a big improvement from your old two! I actually put the songs on my ipod

The vocals sounds a little off to me, but other than that I really enjoyed everything else! Keep up the awesomeness and believe in me who believes in you! But like what everyone else said NOT ENOUGH TERRA in the mv.

There's always room for improvement.
But seems to me that now they're ready to skyrocket, provided they can continue to follow their skyrocketing improvement.

Regarding the video:
Yup the camera shaking makes you a bit dizzy, some transitions can be "bettered" but you have to keep room for creativity. One learns from that too.

regarding the vocals, it's way much uber better than it was. You could say the instruments are still beating the crap out of the vocals, but even if it's a bit low in volume, not very charismatic yet, it does its job. Same here, if he can improve as much as he did in the last few months, that'll be incredible.

Power ups are to come, I hope

Ciao

I just visited your Space. If word out there is as fast as it is here, you guys should get signed up by a record company in the near future I hope. Best of luck, and looking forward to your next update!

I wonder if it's easy to enter iTunes...

That would be pretty pointless until they've really made it big

Youtube should suffice for now

Don't forget us when you're famous Terra.

Nice, Terra! I add +1 to the 'not enough Terra in the vid' crowd.

Looking forward to your next video and subsequent world tour

This certainly was the kind of a video that if seen on TV wouldn't immediately make you think what it's doing there on air. There were some things I'd have done differently (as if I was any video expert), like the repetition that was slightly bothering me.

The music isn't nearly melodic enough for me, but like the others have already said, you dudes have surely progressed very nicely. Good work. Keep going.

***Terracosmo*** · Thu, 04-09-2009, 10:58 PM

Thanks everybody! Really appreciate the comments and feedback. ;*

About the shaky camera: it's sorta like a "compensation for stale footage", we were a bit unlucky 'cuz the video was filmed by a different (worse) guy than who ended up editing it (we switched half-way 'Cuz the first guy's editing wasn't very good). And the second guy, who made this video look dreamy in quality, was a bit more picky with clips (good thing) and due to the way it was originally filmed there are a lot of stale shots. So the shaky camera stuff is basically to spice it up. Suffice to say it's really a matter of taste regarding if it's too much or cool, but it's definitely something that won't be around in our next video in any case. It's too bad a lot of my AWESOME CLIPS got the cut but I actually have some gifs from unused scenes that I could upload. They look pretty damn sweet!

Regarding Itunes and MySpace etc. Yes growth is pretty good on the INTARWEB and locally as well, but Sweden is a pretty hard land to get signed in due to there being waaaay to many bands and stuff. And metal/indie is kinda what gets signed now. But our plan is this, we're going to push on and get bigger and better. And in November we're actually recording our debut album! We've all improved like hell (keep in mind that the song in the video was already 6 months old when the video was released!) so can't wait to get that thing out. And if we get signed before we release it, then sure, that's nice... but if we don't, we're gonna sell it on Itunes and stuff. We figure that sooner or later some label (Swedish or foreign) will drop by, since things are constantly moving in the right direction.

Oh btw I'm counting on all of you to buy the album when it's out! Whenever that is. I'll try and put in a bonus for you!... like... an autograph! Oh I don't know...

Thanx again and stay safe y'all
