I sent in a request to try out for Daath a couple of months ago. But they did not pick me to be in the band. I think it is because I was not rich enough to have a camera and have me sing for it to send it in for submission!!! That seems kind of a snobby reason I thought. I was deeply offended that I did not even really get a good chance because of it!!! Now come to find out that you all filled the Killswitch Engage Frontman, And I know if you would have let me audition that you would have seen my range in my vocals and my stage presence for that position!!! I have been in was in a band called Iconoclasm but we changed that to Ectoplasm after some members left the band and I stayed there for 13 years now. Also have been on the stage with my band Iconoclasm opening for(Death,Deicide,Cannible Corpse,Nile,Dying Fetus, etc....) Just to name a few!!! I am extremely devoted and will work very hard for you label to make us both a success!!!
