The Welding is phenomenal live. 

Yeah all things considered, his vocals were pretty damned great the last two tours.

Even with cardboard-Jens, they were fucking amazing in Atlanta.

Got the old Bob Ludwig treatment, I see.

Here we go again. Haha.

<r>Thanks again. Someone just alerted me to another video someone shot in December. As usual, it's not the best representation due to it being a cell phone. I think this is the only other video out there of us right now. Also worth noting: this was the night I learned NOT to drink throughout the nig...

Thank you very much. We're basically on the East Coast (Florida panhandle), so hopefully sooner than later we'll start being able to plan various dates around the East Coast. Where are you at? 

Ah, well. Looking forward to finally hearing the album. From what interviews I've read, they all said it doesn't sound much like ISIS + Chino at all.

<t>I'm sure if I sat down with my iPod I could write a list a mile long of what various songs remind me of, but the one that sticks out to me right now is Paperbag Writer by Radiohead. That will forever be burned into my brain and take me back to the first time I visited NYC, walking around and ridi...

<t>We're fairly set on being an instrumental band for the foreseeable future. If we met the right vocalist and everything fell into place, we'd love to go down that road. But as of now, we enjoy being instrumental. Also: none of us can sing. Ha.<br/> <br/>  <br/> <br/> Los Aliados is a LOT of synths...

I... don't see any recording there? Am I missing something?

<r>Thanks a lot, Kitaan. That's quite flattering as you've been here for a long time and (obviously) have good taste in music. Ha.<br/> <br/>  <br/> <br/> The empty room looks worse than it was because that place is absurdly huge. You could seriously fit probably 2000 people in that room we were in....

<r>I didn't want to keep clogging the Intronaut thread plugging our dinky upstart band, so I made this thread. Feel free to fluff our egos to your heart's content in here.<br/> <br/>  <br/> <br/> Here's the link to our facebook and bandcamp pages. They're our main internet presence right now. You ca...

<t>I'll have to see if any of the other guys got videos of Intronaut. As for us, I know no one we brought filmed anything but it's possible someone else did. If it surfaces, I'll post it. <br/> <br/>  <br/> <br/> Boy, the new stuff they played was reeeeeeally good. If you're into them already, you'...

Damn, these guys are SO good live. Some unfortunate technical problems with the venue's PA, but that didn't really hamper them at all. Super nice guys also.

Ah fuck it, here you go: 

 

Spoiler: I'm pretty sure their Black Betty cover was already released somewhere. I'm sure you can listen to it now if you like. 

<t>I mean, strictly artistically speaking, I've always understood the impulse to just take your time and make damn sure everyone is comfortable and happy with what you've made. Once you reach that point where you more or less have a built in audience and you're financially secure and can truly just ...

<t>crow011 said <br/> <br/>  <br/> <br/> <br/> I get the impression that TOOL is something that none of them have ever wanted to force. Correct me if I'm wrong.<br/> <br/>  <br/> <br/> <br/> That has definitely seemed like their M.O. since the beginning. DEFINITELY since Post-Lateralus (i.e. "we do...

The Illuminati/Masonry/whateverthefuck mythology and "mystique" is so commonplace and common-knowledge now, I don't know how anyone can seriously take these little "signs" seriously in the slightest. 

<t>It is indeed VERY nice and exciting to hear 3/4 of them all together talking positively and sounding inspired about the new stuff. Even that odd quote from Maynard about, "I've asked to be involved" stirs... well something, anyway. I'm not sure what. Ha. I genuinely feel like he's on one long con...

<t>The place I'm seeing them with Meshuggah is SO awesome. Tiny little theater styled place that's very nice, multiple bars surrounding the theater area, comfy seats and you can see perfectly from all of them. <br/> <br/>  <br/> <br/> The place this Saturday is a dive bar. But... it's our dive bar....

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Tomorrow night! Cannot wait! So looking forward to seeing them twice in one week, and once with fucking Meshuggah! Goddamn... such a good week.

<t>Love 10K Days. To me, each album from Undertow onwards has it's own charms and is really tied with me. Lyrically, I think 10K Days is more or less the weakest, although VOCALLY I think it's fucking amazing in terms of sounds. The music on 10K Days is phenomenal.<br/> <br/>  <br/> <br/> I weep for...

<t>crow011 said <br/> I tend to go more to "LATERALUS" and "AENIMA" for my bass fix, but that's probably because of the memories I have associated with those albums.<br/>  <br/> <br/> I think Schism and Disposition/Reflection alone could do that. I'm obviously biased, but he really is pound for poun...
