Progressive metal demo

"Nnice."

date: July 31, 2008

I was surprised with the actual stuff after the long intro :P Good riffs, man. Some crits with the quality, Good for live, but I really would wanna hear this one recorded well :P Sounds a bit overcompressed to me aswell.

Anyway, I really like the song. You're gonna have to get this one recorded with good equipment, dude. 9/10 and a five ( 4.43 / 5.00 (+ 0.029) ).

It brings out a totally different feeling that you woulda thought at first when just listening the backin' track. You're awesome :P

Besides, you fucking messed less than I did :P You shoulda done it to the end.

10/10 and a five ( 4.45 / 5.00 (+ 0.066) ), fucker :D

Thanks man. I attempted sweep picking at the end...to harmonized pinches. Unfortunately I only practiced sweeping for a total of 20 minutes. Ever. :D

Thanks for the review and vote, my friend.

"Damnit."

date: July 30, 2008

I need to steal your skills. Sweeps are something that I still can't do :P

Well, your guitar tone (both distorted and clean) were awesome. There were no bass but I'm pretty sure you were gonna fix that. And since you already are going to check on the drums too, I don't have anything reasonable to say about the mix :P

10, and a five ( 4.40 / 5.00 (+ 0.023) ).

Keep it up, dude. I'm gonna fave this one, 10/10 and a five ( 4.26 / 5.00 (+ 0.015) ).

Death Metal Shit Fest

"Haha :P"

date: July 29, 2008

Man, fucking awesome riffs. But those vocals, for some reason they're just fucking funny :P But yeah, those riffs fucking kick ass.

I like the mixing too. Nothing bad about this, unless you hate that kind of lyrics.

Keep it up man. 10/10 and a five ( 4.35 / 5.00 (+ 0.012) ).

Cheers man!
I used to think death metal vocals were funny years ago when I first started listening to the stuff. Now I love em!

The Great Pyramids

"Nice."

submission: The Great Pyramids
date: July 29, 2008

A very fat sound, tasty one. However, I can clearly hear the sound artifacts of over-compressing (or the wrong way of compressing). I very rarely compress the master track, because it messes the sound up.

A headbanger. The egyptians would be proud. 9/10 and a five ( 4.19 / 5.00 (+ 0.034) ).

Battlefield 1942 Metalized

"It's good."

date: July 29, 2008

However, it could be better :P But I really have to applaud you, Battlefield 1942's theme... isn't exactly the easiest one to turn into a good metal song :P

At the intro I felt it missed something that would take you with the music and lead you on, but I think something like that finally appeared around 1:12, at the fast part. I really liked that one. And it continued to be good for a long while then :P Technically speaking, I think the drums should have been a bit louder, would have given a more intense feeling.

It's a good metal cover, but maybe not the best kind of approach. 9/10 and a five ( 4.35 / 5.00 (+ 0.011) ).

I know what you mean.
I was really enthusiastic about it at the beginning... after recording some of it, it started to REALLY piss me off... so.. um, this is actually an unfinished version, i don't think I'll ever make a final version lol

Deathgore's Theme

"Nice theme."

submission: Deathgore's Theme
date: July 23, 2008

I really like the part where the drummer hits the toms and the guitar plays the muted power chords :D Just sounds so brutal.

The drums should have been louder IMO. And of course the ending could have been more... like a real ending? :P

Very good, however. 9/10 and a five ( 4.03 / 5.00 (+ 0.0033) ).

Remember my Name - part 1/2

"Very nice."

date: July 23, 2008

The choirs sound very good. Actually better than most of the other instruments :P I have some minor quibbles with your timpani, I thin a loud and massive, bassy grand casa (or whatever it was named) sound would be better for this. Anyway, very nice progressions, I like this one. And it's long (since you have two parts of the song too).

Keep up the good work. You get a 9/10 and a five ( 4.39 / 5.00 (+ 0.0048) ).
