Were called Empathy and are a thrash band from Harwich Essex we've seen quite a nice scene building up in England for a while now and wish to find our little band a home in it, so check us out and give us some feed back.

We recently recorded a new EP at Academy Studios in Colchester entitled 'Skulls On Fire' the track list is as follows:

01. Burial
02. Deceivers Dawn
03. Skulls On Fire
04. End The Show

So check it out and see what you think

Hi everybody lol

Brad

I just listened to Skulls On Fire, I really dig those vocals! Unique sounding and a bit raw, I can hear definitely some early Hetfield influence in there! Maybe if the English accent was pushed a little more they would be perfect. Good song anyway, I will listen to the rest later.

Hello and welcome to this delightful place of joy. I'm quite liking this music indeed. I see where Lyall's coming from here though with his comment about the similarities to the Kill 'Em All/Ride The Lightning 'Tallica style - in fact, it sounds a little too close to it to be honest [I deleted Lyall's post for being a shitty unconstructive welcome - Jimmy Boy], but saying that, there's a good energy to it and the tracks I heard were very enjoyable to listen to! End The Show was cool, a bit too reminiscent of The Four Horsemen in the chorus but still fun, and Skulls of Fire was a great bit of thrash fun.

You guys can certainly play your instruments well and have a good energy and pace, these songs are good fun to listen to, but it would just be nice to hear something a little different, 'tis all. Still sounds good though! Far better than some other young bands I've heard - not particular on here I mean, but just in general. Lovely.

Theyre Death and Necrophagist fans, safe.

pretty good. At this early stage thrash comes first, originality second. With influences such as those above theyre bound to find their own niche in time.

Probably an entertainer third.

Well produced and easy to get into - I would agree with Lyall's late post, regarding the Hetfield sneer to the vocals though - you just can't really do that nowaways without sounding like a rip off.

The tracks have some cool guitar playing and nice speed though, as well as decent melodies in there. Welcome to the forum!

And one other thing - others might disagree, but if it was me I would definitely change the band name - Empathy is a pretty feeble summary of your sound, and makes you sound a bit weedier than you are

I agree. Be called No Empathy instead or something?!

Thanks for the opinions and don't worry Jonny were good on-stage entertainers lol

sorry for the double post, but we like the name empathy coz its very different from alot of thrash metal bands names and if people wouldnt be willing to listen to a band on the basis of there name there the sort of people we'd like weed out lol

empathy unknown

Paedo-Isles It's the best name ever.

Sounds pretty good. Added!

I don't think you should have deleted Lyall's comments, he is entitled to tell them what he thinks. Criticism is just as important as praise.

For me the songs are ok, good playing and all that but they don't really jump out and grab me. Still if you play anywhere near me i will sure travel down.

yeah what happened to lyalls post? the heretic girls have posted far worse things than that before!

Thanks Dian Wei we do play in Braintree from time to time so when were next there I'll hit u up and as for Lyalls comment i respect and thank him for his criticism but i think his post got deleted because he said he used to shit songs like ours out when he went to the toilet
