You should go for heavily distorted guitars! Hehehe. Like
these. Kicking in just like that! Hehe.
Yeah, I really am the best, am I not?
As for change of direction --- You know what I think on that issue. Hehehe. I like your electronic stuff, and I feel that the distance in the feeling is close to both doom/gothic metal and harsh ebm. If the world was dictated by me then I'd like to see you evolve it in a more "evil" direction, if you know what I mean
But I guess I'm kinda biased when I say I want you to go more evil in the music, since I'm a metalhead and like that sorta music. Hehe. But then again; who aren't biased when answering a question like that? We all think about ourselves first, and rightfully so I think. Hehe.
Personally I can't say I'm all hip hurray over PJ Harvey, but of course ... if that's what you want then that is what you should do.
So yeah, there's nothing wrong with trying something new, or do both! Who said you can't have 2 musical ideas in your head at the same time?
