Angela Gossow's Pre-Arch Enemy Recordings Online
Band Photo: Arch Enemy (?)
ARCH ENEMY frontwoman Angela Gossow has uploaded samples of her early demo recordings with the pre-ARCH ENEMY outfits ASMODINA and MISTRESS on her official MySpace profile.
"The quality is not the best - we basically recorded it all in one take live in the rehearsal room with my smashed SM 57 mic and no vocal effects," Angela explained. "We had zero cash for studio recording and home recording/ProTools wasnt happening yet back then (at least not for us, none of us even had a PC!). It's underground death metal, nothing original really. I uploaded it simply because so many people asking me for it. And I dont want anybody to spend a lot of cash on some demo he finds on eBay! So save your money and have a little laugh [at my expense]."
In other news, Angela has posted the following message on her MySpace page:
"We played Sweden Rock, Download, Hellfest and Graspop so far - and they all absolutely rocked. So many people, good weather (except Graspop - we had thunder and rainstorm) and lots of beer. The food was tasteless, as always, the showers cold and Hellfest sold backstage tickets to fans for 150 euros each. I HATE THIS. Total rip-off.
"Everybody who wanted an autograph/picture could meet us FOR FREE at the signing session... just like any other band. Those VIP tickets seem to become a big seller since Sharon Osbourne introduced them for Ozzfest.
"Do me a favor: Don't buy these overpriced tickets! At least not for festivals, 'cuz there is usually a good chance to meet the band at a signing session. Buy some good CDs instead and support the bands and not some greedy festival promoter..."

man, nightwishes b**** is a skanky old hoe, hahah. Gossow'd be my choice.
As for vocal effects, they're basically what Death Metal is NOT about. the original point of Death and Black metal was that it wasnt all manufactured like all the rest of that glam metal and sh**. It was pure. Human. that's what made it good.
It's definitely cool of Angela to give the recordings up to the people for free, though, I'd expect a lot of artists to try and make some cash out of it, one way or another.

"and no vocal effects" - really why this recording is GOOD. why i am tired of AE now is cause of the OVERUSE of vocal effects. Gossow has an amazing growl, these recordings really show that. she needs to quit the vocal effects and stick to her natural gut power.
