There is always a place for something new! If you came out with a CD i'd buy it! I'm always into something new! I love country and Rock, Your style (evenescense) I really like that kind of stuff! Not so much Rap it gives me a headache sometimes! If you've come out with a demo tape that is pretty cool but if you feel your good and you get good reviews then go for it! Try it! Nothing says that you can't try! You tried to make a band and you have one now don't you? Good Luck and hope you make it! I'll be sure to get your CD =) Just fill me in when it comes out if I don't see your music videos lol =)

Check out their MySpace page (below).  Not my kind of music, but they have a lot of tour dates scheduled, so they must have fans.

Internet radio, if you've got the bandwidth for it.\n\nThere are so many flavors of metal stations available.  Do you like classic, industrial, progressive, melodic, heavy, speed, ...?\nKnowing what styles you like most will really help answer your question.\n\nIf you're not sure what you want, even a generic search turns up a number of options to consider:  http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Internet+radio%22+metal

Those are all run of the mill metal bands- try something creative like Chiodos, Aiden, or Saosin

Probably the best melodeath band, and they're becoming popular in the metal scene. Another great melodic death metal band is At The Gates, one of my favourites.

Yes they're one of my fav. bands and their new cd rocks! I saw them in concert, front row man! Rock on! Totally an awesome band to see in concert. Also, if you like them, check out the band called Emery. Not quite as hard, but they're on the same label.\nAnd Hawthorne Heights is really close to Underotah

I think you guys could go far. Espically with the fact that so many people are getting into local bands more now. You guys are pretty good for 16 year olds. Keep it up :)

Go to http://www.nightwish.com     It is their official website . You will get all information there.\n\nNightwish is a Finnish musical band formed in 1996 in the town of Kitee. Nightwish composes songs that are often classified as either symphonic metal or power metal; their musical style has also been described as a symphonic metal variant, called opera metal. Nevertheless, Nightwish is considered one of the main developers of the symphonic metal genre, which encompasses similar bands such as Epica, After Forever and Visions of Atlantis.\n\nAlthough the band achieved prominence in their home country since the release of their first single, they did not achieve worldwide fame until the release of the albums Century Child (2002) and Once (2004), both which had video clips shown on the MTV channel of countries from the American continent, for example.\n\nAs of 2006, the band is searching for a replacement to vocalist Tarja Turunen, who left at the end of 2005. A replacement for the soprano singer has not yet been found, but the four other musicians of the band plan to find one in the course of 2006, so that a new album can be recorded at the end of 2006 and beginning of 2007, and released later that year.

I have seen groups solicite in their web site. If you have a small but loyal fan base they can really help out. \nOffer them "exclusives", access at a performance or bounus tracks or something. If you don't have a manager ... maybe you need to get one to keep the business side going while you create.
