I've heard these all before, but still, they're ace. Especially Fourth Estate, it's lovely.

What's with the weird Sonic music instead of vocals? Has Martin thrown a tantrum and left?

Lord almighty, Empire is fantastic! Really bloody great, what a lovely melodic goodness you have in that track. I bloody loved that one. I also enjoy Fourth Estate a lot, for some reason in bits it reminds me of Cradle of Filth... but in a good way (if that's possible), some really fucking cool ideas in that one.

Just one thing I must say, and it was the same with Saltergate (the song)... why, oh why must you always fade out the song just at the point when it sounds like something amazingly epic and climatic is about to happen? It upsets me, ARRRRRGH!!!

That's probably the only bit of criticism/advice I'd give to Heretic - more orgasmic climaxes in your songs are needed I think, please. Some really great things going on, but sometimes I think the song needs to build up to something a bit more splendid, if you know what I mean. Isle of Dogs has a brilliant structure, but I think the other tracks maybe need their structure worked on a little more. Saltergate again, for example; the final riff of that song is soooo good, but it sounds like it's about to build up into something evil and amazing, and gets me all excited, but then suddenly it just fades out, and I want to cry... Nevertheless, everything I've listened to tonight has been quite superb, well done.

Thats the only good comparison to another band anyone has ever made with us! Thankyou.

I know what you mean- the progression in the music is Opeth-y I guess.

Its not black metal because its not recorded in a church and we dont kill people.....yet.

Yeh this is good, I like it.

Not going to say you're a unique thrash band, because I don't think you're thrash (have you ever heard that before? :wink: ) but it's good stuff. Looking forward to when it's complete.

Thought that Isle of Dogs and Saltergate were decent, and quite unique. These new tracks are rubbish. Empire has just cliched, rubbish melodic death/black metal riffs, Tomy My First Keyboard sounds, and a half-arsed attempt to add the odd proggy bit in. What the hell happened?!

The song is there and nifty (about as thrash as the vengaboys mind) Production sounds like turbo outrun but with the sound on too high so the speakers distort.

Rule #1, always leave them wanting more...
