Yeah, reminds me of Metallica in some way! And the piano on "Berlin One, Version C" is maybe what became Iridescent. Really loving the 2008 fuckin' heavy demos! EDIT: this BTH demo is hilarious! hahahaha
Malathion+Tritonus holy crap, how come there arent any lyrics on it, I can juts imagine mike spitting dope rap lines, and chesters raw singing OMG
Okay guys I've listened to the full thing.... and I'm kinda disappointed. 1. Aubrey One - 2009 The demo from the LPU XIV trailer. A very atmospheric and dissonant rock track that has a chord progression mimicing that of last year's "Basquiat". 2. Malathion + Tritonus - 2008 Part of this song would have become one of the main riffs for "Mark The Graves" later on. Very raw sounding with the classic "demo-y midi drums". Long and somewhat repetitive but changes tempo near the end into a punk beat. 3. Berlin One - 2009 Whats with all the Berlin stuff? Anyway. Cool beat over piano and some atmospheric sounds and effects. Very much ATS sounding. 4. Blanka - 2008 Bullshit this was from 2008. This sounds like it was straight from the THP sessions. My personal favourite. Bridge is kind of jarring to listen to but weirdly reminded me of the groove from the Wastelands bridge. 5. Heartburn - 2007 I get the feeling I've heard this before somewhere, probably in some sort of LPTV. Very chilled track. Don't know where they were going with this. 6. BTH Mike Vocals There's definitely a reason why he didn't sing on anything until M2M. I feel embarassed for him. Considering I didn't think he had any involvement in the lyric process with this song though I am quite surprised. 7. Dave Sbeat ft. Joe - 2009 No. Just no lol. Phoenix go home you're drunk. 8. Froctagon - 2009 It's like a faster Given Up with a slower beat in the chorus and terrible mixing. I think mike performed the drums on this demo. 9. Rhinocerous - 2002 Demo that was played in Vienna. Again kinda bad mixing. It sounded better when somebody recorded it from that Meet & Greet than in this recording - can hardly hear the drums. Disappointing. 10. After Canada - 2005 Sounds more like a Meteora demo than something from 2005. Not bad but nothing special. Overall. 6/10 Favourites: Blanka Malathion + Tritonus Aubery One Comments: I'm not sure if it's just the shock of hearing Linkin Park so raw or the fact that they tried to pick all the badly mixed ones to emphasis the point of The Hunting Party... either way I've heard much better quality demos from them than these ones. "Dave Sbeat ft. Joe" was clearly a troll to everyone that was expecting Grecian.
breaking the habit lyrics I really like them. Think mike ain't trying Just listen to him in so far away
Damn, I have to listen to this. I would never have imagine that ATS might have began as an heavy project, somehow.
PISSING IN THE ROOM! I can't stop laughing at this BTH demo. More than likely just Mike trying to figure out the melody of the song to pass on to Chester, but it's still hilarious. EDIT: Aubrey One is extremely similar to another LP song, possibly another demo? I can't think of it, anyone know it? The 2:40 mark to be exact. I've definitely heard it before.
