Over the past few weeks we’ve worked on a documentary of our own as a response to Dream Theater's Spirit Carries On videos, and now you can watch it on YouTube (in HD!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEMA3Ptoo5Q&

Feel free to post comments, praise us or threaten to kill us for blasphemy. Everything goes!

Well, as long as you liked the music it was worth it

I must admit, that was better than I expected.

This. No offense, but I thought it was going to be pretty dumb and in poor taste. But it made me laugh at several points and was pretty well done. From the few clips of you guys playing, I like your sound. What videos would you recommend to really get a feel for what you guys sound like?

Music ain't bad either

Mebert78 · « **Reply #7 on:** July 07, 2011, 08:03:33 AM »

Haha, pretty good! And nice way to get your band's name out there too!

Elite · « **Reply #8 on:** July 07, 2011, 08:44:01 AM »

I liked it, though it left you not knowing whether you guys now have a drummer or not

Anyway, keep up the good music

erik16 · « **Reply #9 on:** July 07, 2011, 09:50:32 AM »

The keyboardist ACTUALLY looks like Mike Portnoy.

Durg · « **Reply #10 on:** July 07, 2011, 10:03:36 AM »

I really enjoyed that.

You really "threw some stuff" at those guys.

jdprsaga · « **Reply #11 on:** July 07, 2011, 10:10:12 AM »

hahaha soltice coils sold under 10 million albums worldwide, funny stuff

DJay32 · « **Reply #12 on:** July 07, 2011, 11:01:58 AM »

That was pretty clever at times. xD I loved the Triangle Guy. I'll definitely look into your music.

Metabog · « **Reply #13 on:** July 07, 2011, 11:37:23 AM »

Alright, I lol'd.

That drum solo guy is a TRUE STORY.

ElliottTamer · « **Reply #16 on:** July 07, 2011, 12:23:33 PM »

Really cool parody. Made me laugh a lot more than expected.
And really original way of promoting yourself

Not intrusive (as in "Listen to my band, PLEASE!!!!!"), quite organic actually. I'm sure I'm not the only one checking your site out after this video.

Mladen · « **Reply #17 on:** July 07, 2011, 12:38:15 PM »

That was pretty funny.

DarkLord_Lalinc · « **Reply #18 on:** July 07, 2011, 12:43:48 PM »

Triangle Guy was amazing

TL · « **Reply #19 on:** July 07, 2011, 12:45:21 PM »

That was pretty funny.

"He's been playing a drum solo for over 20 minutes. I don't know whether to call the cops or an ambulance".

Also, some pretty neat music too.

Solstice Coil · « **Reply #20 on:** July 07, 2011, 12:56:53 PM »

Thanks guys for all of your comments! Glad you laughed and definitely glad that you liked our music.

For those who asked about what you should play - the best videos are the Too Many Regrets video and Recipe for Eternity, which is also from our new album.

chrisbDTM · « **Reply #21 on:** July 07, 2011, 01:56:29 PM »

genius way of getting DT fans to check out your music

ibosmiley · « **Reply #22 on:** July 07, 2011, 09:26:57 PM »

Wasn't sure what to expect at first, but... upon examination.... funny.

Jirpo · « **Reply #23 on:** July 07, 2011, 10:21:35 PM »

That was great!
Some of my favourites...

"Things are very bad here in SC land... no food... little water"

"I listened to their music for 2 hours... then I got bored and started playing starcraft 2"

"Plays with:
Starcraft II
Lego
Dolls
Himself"

"oh fuck you guys im not saying that!"

"Triangle guy - does not own a drumset"

The riffs part

the fight scene

"I expected these guys to throw some stuff at me"

Very well done

I'm impressed, it was very funny!

Thank you for sharing!

So.... was the guy sitting on the far right before the audition, with his head hanging down a bit and not saying a word supposed to be JM???

Here's something that we made a while back (when I had a goatee!) , a more "classic" parody...

Good one

JP just posted a link to your video on his Facebook and Twitter

Gadough · « **Reply #30 on:** July 11, 2011, 01:36:37 AM »

^^Yep, that's how I found out about it, as I don't venture to this side of the forum too often.

Hilarious video. I was laughing throughout the whole thing. Very good job, you guys.

"He's been doing a drum solo for 20 minutes. I don't know whether to call the police, or an ambulance."

CrimsonSunrise · « **Reply #31 on:** July 11, 2011, 01:48:02 AM »

Yeah!!! Pretty cool that it got JP's seal of approval...

Well done guys!

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #32 on:** July 11, 2011, 02:04:38 AM »

I really like the video. I might look into getting the record!

TheGreatPretender · « **Reply #33 on:** July 11, 2011, 02:23:27 AM »

Yeah, good work. Especially on getting JP's attention.
