This is fucking brutally awesome. Good mixing too. Utterly evil lyrics you have there :P

Have at you, ten and a fucking five, for this song deserves it.

Very nice shreddin' as always, dude. Doesn't sound repetitive either.

If you'll post this as a backing track, I will be giving it a shot. And this time maybe a real take on it, not a shoddy piece of shit like the earlier one :P

Five. ( 4.15 / 5.00 (+ 0.050) )

"Nice man."

Really nice soloing with this one, as Son-Of-Kirk said, this one will be hard to beat :P Nice scale movement. Why no trumpet solo? :P

I might try this one out but I'm not promising anything, I have a strong feeling that it would suck ass :P

Awesome.

Score: 10

"Meh."

Seems like this has gotten zerobombed. Well then, I'll help you out with that atleast a little bit :P

Snare could be more "snarly", trebley, less bass, how you wanna say it. I also think it could have some more reverb on (maybe). You can get pretty good stuff out of it if you play enough :P

Awesome riffs, and a solid tune of kickassery (especially after vocals have been added). 10/10 and a five ( 3.70 / 5.00 (+ 0.11) ).

Score: 9

"Hmmm."

This is quite happy, although I know where you're getting at with it :P Even though still I'm not totally sure whether I'd get "Sorrowed Tears" out of it. But now, let's focus on the song itself.

Very nice work! The atmosphere is nice, and you create it smoothly with the beginning there. I think the cello beginning somewhere around 00:30 is just about the volume where I would keep it. With a volume like that it creates a soft feeling to it. In the climax there should have been a string quartet, however. Would have emphasized the feeling even more.

All in all, a solid tune. 9/10 and a five ( 3.76 / 5.00 (+ 0.098) ).

Score: 10

"Very nice."

Complex melodies. Would have wanted the drums to have a notch up in the volume, they're a bit too quiet in my opinion. Sick soloing here. Nothing else really to say pretty much, it's awesome.

10/10 and a five ( 3.90 / 5.00 (+ 0.19) ), definitely.

Score: 9

"Nice."

Diversity is always good with songs like this. Nice melodies, good playing, not bad at all.

Now to the technical issues. You should try adding some reverb to the orchestral sounds, makes them sound bigger and natural (since the only way for you to hear a real orchestra playing is a hall, duh :P). Balance between the orchestra and guitars was good. I'm not sure if you have already, but if not, you can test out taking some middle off from the riff guitars. They didn't sound so muffled though. But it never hurts to try :P

The guitars sounded to be recorded straight line-in without any kinds of amp engines or anything. If you have the possibility to grab a copy of Guitar Rig or Amplitube someday, I recommend it. There's some ways you can try to improve a straight line-in sound, but as I've been told, "You can't make gold, if the beginning product is shit" in terms of mixing. There's some pretty good free ones too, can't remember the names right now though. But definitely look for some guitar amp simulators if you're going for the line-in approach.

All along, a solid tune here. 9/10 and a five ( 4.30 / 5.00 (+ 0.25) ).

Score: 9

"Nice melodies."

submission: Guitar Challenge - DarKsidE555

Especially for such fucked up harmonies (:P), but I was left to hope for more cool guitar tricks and stuff :P

Good soloing nonetheless. 10/10 and a five ( 4.37 / 5.00 (+ 0.038) ).

Is what I love in this piece. Your goal of attaining the feel of slowly going insane is very, very interestingly accurate. I would really want to see the video that this song was made for, if it holds the same quality as this piece.

Got no critics with the mixing. It's a very solid tune with many kinds of atmospheres merged together succesfully.

10/10 and a five ( 4.27 / 5.00 (+ 0.0035) ).

"Fffuck."

Pretty extreme headbangin' here, sir. Many awesome riffs too.

The vocals could be mixed better though. EQ some off from the bass frequencies, that way they'll fit better (it's how human voice works).

10/10 and a five ( 4.26 / 5.00 (+ 0.050) ).
