Thanks for all the responses it means alot to me. Got you all added to buddy list.
If you have trouble with that link my lead singer has a myspace with that song and another dark moody acoustic song I wrote around the same time. The guy in the picture is the lead singer. We have been working together for 10 years hell of a guy and a great singer.

MotherMoon got me thinking about about having a big Guristas rabbit skull Image on the on the body of a Les Paul or PRS.... and having the rabbit skull done in mother of pearl inlay up and down the fretboard.
On second thought that might be considered a copyright issue, If used in a video.
Im gonna need CCP's response on this 
But ill be damned if someone tries to stop me from wearing my red rabbit skull T shirt !

Thank you for all the responses and all the plays.
the songs that get played the most will be what the judges obviously listen to first, however most plays is not what wins.
The contest has been going on for quite a while thats why some bands have so many plays.
Me and my guys just found out about it not even a week ago so it seems like a good sign that its reached top 10 now in such a short amount of time.
The Judges will be several oscar wining Film and music producers along with the lead singer from Seether, so Im hoping that what ive written will seem marketable to all the hollywood bigtimers. Like i said most plays is not what wins but being in the top 10 will draw attention from all over the US.
Im not asking you to spam it, just spread it around.
If a video is made I WILL wear my red Guristas rabbit skull shirt 
and again thanks everyone

If your having problems listening to it from the Punisher contest website, you could try the leed singers myspace "The Beyond and another moody dark acoustic I wrote "The Ultimate Answer" The first one is in the contest for the movie. The second acoustic song is simple dark and moody one that quite a few people seem to Like alot.
Im gonna give the singer a call later tonight and ill see if we can get some others up that Im fairly happy with.
and thanks again for all the responses. It means alot to me.

To answer your question. no I didnt write the song for the punisher The Beyond was written about a year earlier. How ever Im thinking I should also submit the acoustic piece Ultimate Answer , totally different feel but I think it has the mood and tone....hmm

Didn't think was harsh at all man, and I do agree with some of the points you made. Such as, the bass..I just threw that down on the fly didnt put much thought into it just wanted to hear some more bottom and play with tones and texture layering.
You may also be right about the first chorus coming to soon after the first pre chorus.
Ill probably do some switching around or add a few alternate turn arounds.
Now as far as it being cliche or immature. lyric wise I would certainly hope not. The subject matter is delving into human introspection about ones own motivations, discovery and perception of good and evil and there roles in the cosmic scheme of things. The Idea i was going for was that In a human being's struggle in trying to define good and evil within him/herself, all pailed in comparison to something else.
The chorus lyrics are " beyond the weight of the world beyond the sword and the gun beyond a bomb in the sun". What i was attempting to suggest with that,is this. There are forces that move, shape, destroy and create the universe around us. And that cosmic forces of such an unimaginative scale are happening all around us going unnoticed.
And perhaps, that these forces may have a sentient motivator or that they themselves may be sentient. So, if we examine our own ideas of good, evil, destruction and creation in light of considering such things,it can give a much different perspective on all the things that drive us and all the things we are compelled to call good or evil, gods or devils. (wall of text just woke up I apologize)
In a nutshell its an idea i had about something so big and so powerful that it puts everyone and everything be they gods or devils, into an inescapable place of introspection and humility before the beyond. The Ultimate Answer is more of the personal introspective version of Beyond. Both songs are exploring the same areas.
or... It might be about someone whining on that all they have is brown dirt weed and the girlfriend wont give him head ...and like..um mom and dad r sooo lame ..and like... spoiled middle upper class suburban life is boring.
As for my musical tastes.. the only new cd ive bought in a few years is, Black Sabbath the DIO years. It rocks. The last 3 tracks are newly written and those are my favorite songs right now. oh and I replaced my scratched copy of bad motor finger.Johny Cash box set. My favorite rock band is without a doubt Soundgarden,genius and I 'll have words with anyone who says otherwise. Style wise there are the perfect monster love child of Led Zep and Black Sabbath. The fathers of all that rock. I hate NU-metal and Jeff Buckley was the ultimate example of music being something super natural.
So.. Its just a demo put together in a few hours late at night. It'll go through several more iterations when we start recording again in the fall.
As for the drummer... Ill try and sit down and talk with the computer and drum kits from hell 2 software made by the drummer from Mashuga, but man....well you know how drummers can be.

Well guys Im not sure what this means, but Lionsgate sent me an email informing me that the song has been accepted into the finals. Then the next day I received another email from them requesting a high quality mix in wav file format.
They sent me a Putfile upload address because the lossless wav file format was almost 40 megs.
Ive looked all over the net and searched a few musician forums where some other bands had also submitted. Apparently it seems so far that no one else has received such an email or request from Lionsgate studios.
Im trying not to get my hopes up too soon but I find this to be very curious.

I feel dirty now. We will start recording again in December, so Ill be adding more songs around that time or maybe mid november. Link to the site Altus Pocket
Also Im working on more artwork, background images and Desktop wallpapers.
The biggest question im having right now is what font to use for the name.
Thanks again for all the replys comments and opinions.

Thanks everyone for the replies and plays, However number of plays has nothing to do with it.
Some bands that had tens of thousands of plays didnt get into the finals. Songs were never judged by number of plays but were judged by a screening team by Lions Gate film studios.
The final Judging Will be done by a panel of just 5 people. The President of Lions gate, The music producer of the film, The Director and a few other Oscar and Grammy winning film/music producers and the lead singer from Seether.
The contest page is over and done with, its meaningless now. Never the less thanks for checking it out.
The bands Myspace is where all the action is happening now  ALTUSPOCKET
Also Im having alot of fun working on the artwork for it. |
