Uploader Notes:
I hope you're nice to me now...
This is the one and only demo that my band Diverge actually finised. We had a few false starts and just when we were getting comfortable with the music and ready to record a second demo with much better songs we kind of split up. Well well... Sh*t happens. The drummer has recently moved back to Stockholm after living in a town in the south western part of Sweden for about 7 years. He and I always was the core of the band, so hopefully we'll get together and jam again just like old times.
Anyway, this demo was recorded in our rehearsal room. A guy who has recorded some other types of music brought his studio equipment with him and we recorded it over 2 days in 1999. We had problems finding a singer, so finally we convinced a guy we knew who sang in another band to lay down vocals. He did a good job considering he only rehearsed with us once and he was more into Alice in Chains style music.
Looking back, there are many things I'd like to change. I like the main structures of the songs, but some arrangements could change. Also we could have used a click track for drums. That way we'd keep the tempo better... The drum sound is not that great and I do not like the guitar sound. To thin. Well, we can blame the old Digitech effect pedals that both of us guys playing guitar used. Also the guy recording and mixing the stuff wasn't used to metal, so he might not have really known how to get the best out of the recordings...
Anyway, hope you enjoy it.
