Hey all!

Litost is now a TWO man operation and no longer only Instrumentals. I have paired up with a fantastic vocalist out here in Las Vegas and we are currently about 75% done with our first album together. I am writing and recording all the music and he is writing and recording all the vocals.

To hold people over until then, we released a single called, "Retribution" on our website.

Please give it a listen and rate the song in the comments!!!

Pretty darned good! The new singer sounds really good, and the tune is rocking. My only observations: the intro is kind of long. It might be because the main riff, while good, might not be enough to hold the listener's attention. I look forward to the finished CD. Good luck!

I appreciate it Jimmy D!
Maybe I can cut the intro down a bit... I feel like it's a good song and I don't want to lose the interest of the listener before the song even really starts.

Don't generally make comparisons to other bands but I cannot help but be put in mind of listening to Alice In Chains while working on my light and fog show.

She rocks . . . intro would be acceptable in a live setting . . . do a brief version for the CD.

Thanks a lot everyone... And no it didn't cost me a lot. My guitars and bass go right into a USB preamp right into my laptop. I don't send it out for mixing or anything.
Songs are done in house by the two of us from start to finish.

Winning.

Haha that was the best compliment ever. One word. Bam.

Rockin'! Bass needs to be defined a little more in the ix (some EQ), and of course you need to get a real drummer on it. Programmed drums are ok for some music, but the cymbal and snare hits on this one don't fit it - what program are you using? EZ Drummer and Superior Drummer have some pretty good metal sets available.

I know, that is definitely a tough part for us right now... I actually wasted the money on Superior Drummer only to find out it wouldn't install on my computer and now I can't return it since its software. Lets just say that wasn't a good day.
Singer and I live next door to each other in apartments, therefore I cannot play my real drums... And we are broke -- think a Las Vegas edition of Seinfeld. Everything taking place at either one of our apartments. The budget to record is pretty much zero.
