I looked them up. Wasn't really that impressed. Music was ok on some songs, vocals sucked.
No offense to what you like, I've just heard way better covers.

None of the songs of theirs that I like have vocals, and, don't worry, it's not like they are my favorite band or anything.
palmer6strings:
Good, dont want to make anyone upset because our tastes don't match very well.
Ya, if I ever get a good camera I'll try to record a good video of some of my music.
I got some of my bands music up, but I mean just covers and stuff.
BudgetGameCases:
Nice.

Just to show I'm no hack, here's some in studio footage from my former band:

Sounds like some black metal to me ha ha.

This is some of our early songs, more of a hardcore vibe.

You must not have heard much black metal.  Death metal = low pitch.  Black metal = high pitch.  Leaving myself out of the equation, here are a few "textbook" definitions:

Death metal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNhN6lT-y5U
Black metal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGikqZUemV4
and, while I'm at it:
Hardcore: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NctzNLw_5E&feature=related
Crust: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9axVj_mhX1c&feature=related
         & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttxfhaw8t50 (<-- This one is mandatory)
Grindcore: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_CG6TH4zWk&feature=related
Thrash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9ORDncKKkI (a newer song, but one of the original bands)

Everything else gets to be a mix of those things these days - hell, even grind was a mix of hardcore, death metal, and crust.

The only thing that would in any way tie your music to hardcore (at least, in my 30+ year schooled opinion) are the vocals, which are great.  The rest of it owes more to thrash, and that isn't a bad thing.  It's well put together, but I could do without the drum machine.  Friendly piece of industry advice (to qualify all my statements about that, let me show you this - I've paid my dues) - unless you play live with a drum machine, I'd put the words "preproduction demo" in the video title - it'll bring you more cred, especially when you are shopping for label, studio, or producer.  It's one of those tiny perceptive tweaks that goes a long, long way.

Sorry to have gone off on a tirade about genres, but, it's just a pet peeve of mine when things get mislabeled.  Besides, a metal band with a good hardcore singer is hard to come by these days - wear it with honor.  You guys are on the path.
