Darkness in You

"Meh"

submission: Darkness in You
date: November 10, 2009

Wow... my computer froze right before I was able to press the Submit button.. but luckily Chrome some how managed to save the text. Yeah, weird little story. Anyways...

Very predictable and bland.. in the sense that it's just a lot of open-string/chugga-chugga repetition mixed between breakdowns. The tone is also quite high on the 62~500Hz frequency range making it really thick and causing the song to loose it's aggressiveness that it was going after (At least that's what I'm predicting, I may be wrong).

Though I will give you credit for sticking to the tempo well and for combining the two guitar parts in a sense that they work coherently together. My suggestion would be to bump up your treble and work on implementing a solo into your songs. This is a good start but it still needs a bit of work. I'm only trying to help.

Stay Metal.

Valley of Death--_--

"Nice work."

date: October 9, 2008

This is real.. you can really feel the music. Nice selection of notes and samples, it's really bassy but tight at the same time with a lot pitch fad outs. It's just 'great', nuff said.

Distant Memories (Tribute)

"Death!."

date: August 19, 2008

It was a good move to not use vocals, it usually ruins songs and this way the listener can make up any of his own words to it. Some nice playing here, even if it wasn't some insane shredding sweeps and all that jazz.

Fantasie Mystique (NG Cut)

"Meh"

date: August 16, 2008

The drums were really compressed and dull sounding, extremely muffled. Most of the song was extremely quiet and had one or so notes just sort of drifting in the background till a whole complete stop of sound. I think it build up a bit too slow to the climax of the song, and it ended too soon after it. Fix the drums at least, those were the biggest problem.

I tried to get the drums right, I really did. It just doesn't seem to work for me, although it's a lot better than I've had in the past.
Thanks for the review. =D

Its Just Metal

"Umm.."

submission: Its Just Metal
date: July 25, 2008

This isn't Metal, it's everything but Metal. And it was really boring and sloppy and just bad. I will give you a 5 for having the courage to post it.

Battlefield 1942 Metalized

"Woah there buddy"

date: July 24, 2008

Talk about being tuned to like Drop C and playing open notes. You need more shredding across various octaves and do a bit less of the low heavy metal playing, it's like listening to a bass on distortion but with even less note clearity.

Um, It's drop A Tuning on a 7 String guitar.

Basshunter - Russia Privjet

"Hmm?"

date: July 17, 2008

This was submitted as a "Music Loop" but it doesn't exactly loop well, there is a very evident ending and starting point so it's not a loop in my definition. It was ok, but it sounds just like the rest of the techno on this site.

Author's Response:

It's on "Loop" cause its too short to be a "Full" track, hope it didn't confuse you...

Valhalla Bound

"Hmm"

submission: Valhalla Bound
date: July 1, 2008

I don't know, it didn't hit the spot for me. the guitars need to be louder and more on top as they will be what will be carrying the song in a sense. More shredding and more treble'y/agreesive distortion would be nice.

Little Piano Tune

"Not bad"

submission: Little Piano Tune
date: May 25, 2008

Though it is indeed just arpeggios and not even a half a minute long, I enjoyed listening to it and I love pianos added to that. It also had a bit of a melody to it and it was actually quite beautiful so I will give you a 9 for all that, even though as mentioned.. it was just arpeggios and 25 seconds long. Is it you playing or GuitarPro, Reason, other? because if it is you, you're pretty good with phrasing blazingly fast.

climbing through the hole

"Hmm"

date: May 22, 2008

Sounds a bit like Squarepusher, but slowed down a lot and with less insane synth. It was pretty good though, try making a more complex and sped up drum beat and it would go will with the background melody

Author's Response:

Thanks for the review!

I'm not always into the maniacal drums with hard synths, and besides, I'd rather do it my way. I'm quite pleased with the end result here, and my aim is to sound like snayk, not Squarepusher.

Thanks again.
