This band called Heirophant added us on Myspace, I went to their page and was immediately put off by their image (which is gay as fuck) BUT... Check out the song Night Owl, its fucking awesome!

Their other songs are OK but fuck, Night Owl rules!

Also, I SWEAR this is Cyriis singing in this band... Seriously, the dude sounds exactly the same!

They also have a hot chick playing guitar.

Quite a cool listen - not surprised he cites John Arch (Fates Warning) as an influence, I can hear a definite similarity there. I wouldn't say the riffs are all that remarkable, but at least they're doing their own thing and creating some speed metally stuff.

Yeah, the riffs kind of suck, quite widdley and thin in places, or just a bad chord progression. I guess I'm just shocked that I actually liked a song considering how awful they look! :lol:

Paul III is a great name, and he looks like a Suicidal Tendencies reject.

Not sure I get this, just seems to be a heavy dollop of rubbish power metal, I can hear Cyriis, but it's all wrong!

Lol thats what I thought. Definitely wouldnt mess with him!

i only listened to Night Owl, as I dont think I could cope if it was all the same stuff.

a strange hybrid mix of styles i thought,

I can definitely hear touches of Geoff Tate( queensryche) in the vocal

maybe a bit too much.

Over the top, but to be fair, they do look young, and maybe that what they think looks good

With better production, Night Owl could be seriously banging!

Hahaha, I bet they tried telling him that eyeliner and at least three gothic necklaces was a requirement of membership, but he was having none of it!

Haha, this is fucking hilarious. I know what you mean, the singer really sounds like Cyriis, it's unbelievable! The drummer is definitely the best member of the band though.

One question though - is the bassist a boy or a girl?

This is a tragedy! He clearly beat them all up and stole their girlfriends.
