Devastus's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Snowdrop - Piano Ensemble]

A very solid composition, the live instruments (I especially like the violin) have a nice, soothing sound and they bring this piece the extra layer of depth and soul. Well done, well played.

Big thumbs up!

SteveSyz responds:

Thank you so much!

[Aftermath [Orchestral]]

For an ambient piece, this is very fitting! Liking this one alot.

There's not much to criticize here in my opinion. I would probably add something to the final climax, like a horn instrument perhaps :P I can never get enough of horns though, so that's more of a matter of taste anyway.

All in all, it's very good and deserves more attention than it's gotten.

Hellwreckage responds:

OR, it is because you are generaly just badass with horns. I am not, have to learn that still.
Thank you for the kind words. That i attracted your attention is good enough for me!

Now go forth and do more badass music!

[Aura [Orchestral]]

3.32? That's fucking bullshit.

You got alot of cool little elements going here, liking it alot! I would add more oomph to the drums with either more reverb or more presence in the mix. Or both :P

Also, you could have added more texture to the main melody line with a horn or something (possibly make the melody more versatile too, that's up to taste), it gets a bit repetitive towards the end.

That said, I'm giving it a five. Fuck zerovoters.

Hellwreckage responds:

You know, because of this i am gonna buy something that has badass horns in it, and then i am gonna horn the shit out of next track. Thanks again for kind words and yes, zerovoters. But what can one do. It is what it is.

HONK HONK!

[Bloodcount]

Well now.

I must say, I didn't expect this. Excellent production, awesome riffs and growls have some balls to 'em. And of course, Metaljonus tools it with the solo. Like how the mix is packed with in-your-face cuisine.

A rare gem, if I've ever seen one. Instant favourite. Great job guys!

AbsenceofFear responds:

Thanks dude! \m/

[Fear Angry]

Sheesh.

Those leads of his are kicking it off the tap. Fucking show-off :P

The mix is otherwise nicely Pantera-like, as usual, albeit a bit quiet. One thing I would do is make the snare more punchy and boost it from around 200hz (or wherever you can hear the meat of the sound in the particular snare). Nice riffs all around man, good to see you still doing your thing!

This is some good shit bro. I demand some vocals to this fucker ASAP.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

More punchy snare. I agree. I'll be messing with that on my next diddy. Also vocals on the way as well.

Have a cool cover comin up soon too. Thanks very much for the <3 bro. Glad you are still around as well!

[Dirty Cries]

Damn straight.

I notice you've raised the volume on the guitars. People can finally hear what you're playing, which is important considering you have alot of badass riffs going. And now I really like the mix! Resembles quite alot like something back from the 80's, which is awesome.

The vocals rock, I like the roughness you have, I usually have to get into a total rasp-mode to get mine to sound anything like that :P The lyrics are pretty straightforward, and damn, it should be, humanity is fucking itself over from time to time again.

Thank you for the song. Five'd! --- 4.32 / 5.00 (+ 0.063)

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks man. I've tried to apply a lot of your advice. :)
You fucking rule, dude.

[I Hate Tuesdays Motherfuckers]

Unholy Agreeing-ness

Tuesday fucking swallowed donkey balls. And it will continue to do so until the very end of time. Luckily this song kicks ass. I still like pretty much all of your vocal styles :P

I wanna hear the guitar more man, you had whipped out some nice harmonics n' shit there. Try lifting 'em up, same goes for the vocals, currently the drums overpower quite alot.

Rock the fuck out. Fived - 4.27 / 5.00 (+ 0.12).

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks bro. Give er another listen. I didn't have much time to muck around as I just felt like doing it quickly today. Good to see you around dude. :) Thanks again.

[In the Land of Seven Sounds]

I love this song.

I can't criticize anything here. In my opinion the song is pretty much perfect in every way, I can listen to it more than 20 times over and it still doesn't get boring :P
The beginning is really solid, takes you with it right off the bat.

That's all I can say. Definitely 10/10 and a five ( 4.18 / 5.00 (+ 0.0027) ).

sorohanro responds:

Thanx for the review.
