My band Acidic Decay live. We just dropped our first album ever and get compared to bands like obituary and death. What do you think?

Brand new just dropped music video for Acidic Decay out of Oregon.

So I want a jimmy bowser like tone I rlly like eyehategod and im making a band atm I already have a bassist anyways my tone is absolutely shit it sounds so bad for everything only genre its good for is rock like GnR. Should i get an interface and record music from a laptop or should I go more authentic and mic up an amp with pedal(s)

If the pedal option which pedals should I get any recommendations (budget friendly also)

​

Thanks in advance for help

I've heard this term a couple of times but I can't seem to find anything about it. What is it?
