Finally, someone on here with a good sound! Love the riffs, especially the mix.

Dimoria responds:

Sweet I mixed it myself. Check us out on spotify / itunes etc :)

Loved it. Plenty of variety for an instrumental. Mixed well, good drum track, sound is superb, I'm jealous! Makes me want to get on the guitar and write more tracks. I agree that the song should have ended at 7:24. But I'm not unhappy that you kept it going!

Keep it up.

Sweet I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for the listen :D

Great sound, great riffs, love the drums, loving the lead guitar sound. Matches perfectly. Great work! The concept of the song reminds me a bit of Jeff Loomis or Andy James.

ArtificialFear responds:

Thanks! That's funny because I've been listening to a lot of Jeff Loomis here lately.

Sorry about your score, someone obviously doesn't like Metal.
This is great, man. Awesome sound. Keep it up.

Haha yeah I knew it would happen. No big deal. I just posted this for the 2 or 3 people that actually would enjoy it. Thank you :)

Dude. The drums in this are amazing. Did you play them? Or are you using a VST? I didn't so much like the guitar as much as the drums. Also the drums are way to loud. And the guitar is a bit messy. But this is some sick stuff bro. Awesome job.

inhumanization805 responds:

yeah i used a custome drum machine i made for ableton. as for the guitars they are suppose to be messy but i want to re-mix it to get them a bit more clarity out of them. thanks though \m/

This is right here... Is real. Real shit. Awesome job man... I only wish I had the drumming talent. Whether they are generated or not, they are amazing. I use VST's for my percussion and I can never get them complex! I try but it's hard for me. I have the guitar skills but I need percussion practice.

Awesome mixing, it was a pleasure to hear!

CoredxBitch responds:

Wow.. I'm glad you like it! Thanks!)

Bro. Bro! This is truly amazing. You guys are for real! I come on newgrounds everyday and listen to metal tracks to review because I write my own (no music uploaded on this account, working on an album). Of course, I don't have a real drummer. It's just me playing guitar, bass and piano. But this here... This is awesome. Great mixing, awesome riffs, amazing drums... You have it all. Please keep up the work! I am favoriting you! It was a pleasure to hear...

lhceist41 responds:

Thank you!
I'm very happy that you liked it that much.
If you have any music of you I could listen to, please let me know.
Would love to hear what you've got!

Quiet. Very quiet. Try boosting the volume and frequency and add a multi-band compressor. Also, the kick drum is just.... Well it doesn't sound like one. Haha so I am not sure what you can do about that.
That aside, great song. I'm not a big fan of dethklok. I hate the vocolist. But the riffs are pretty slick. Nice work!

Glutch responds:

Yes, I know, about the volume, I made a huge mistake recording, and really didnt feel like re-recording every track. And with the drums, I have to use Midi drums at the moment, as I have no drum mics. Thank you for the input though. Oh, and of course the vocalist sounds a bit overdone, the band is a parody.

Hell yes, bro. This is awesome. The problem I had listening to this track is the overall sound. The guitar riffs are amazing... But the sound is way to thin. It sounds like a track recorded way back in the 80's like Pantera. Everything is just so thin and is really quiet and doesn't have that "punch" that most tracks have now days. I don't care much for the sound, it's all about the riffs. But unfortunately, you won't get very far with a thin sound. Did you use a bass? Something is just missing... I am going to give you a 4/5 because of the sound. But dude... This track is amazing. Keep it up. This is only my opinion, don't hate!

F4c3Fuck3r responds:

Thank you! Yes the sound is a bit hollow. Bass is missing, and the drums were run through a transient shaper, and it was a bit too harsh. Additionally, I noticed a huge decrease in tone when down-converting to MP3. This particular track should be at 320, but the WAV file was a little bit fuller. Overall, I'm just trying to get better at mixing. The drums are my biggest challenge, but guitar is up there too.

Thanks for the input, we are most certainly on the same page. The punch is there though. A little too much though. The transients are really shaped to kick the speaker's ass. At least it sounds like such on my monitors and the speakers in my car and headphones. The MP3 file may have killed it :/

So this is actually a pretty sweet song. One problem... The mixing. The mixing, is quite honestly, pretty bad. It's a shame. You have way to much center noise, high end frequency, and mid range. I don't know if it's the VST's you're are using or what. But this sounds super bled out. I'm assuming you used soundgoodizer? Or tried doing something with your EQ... Remix this man, it's a shame to have such nice guitar and orchestra but a bad sound.

Just my opinion. Keep it up!

Lich responds:

Thanks for the review.

In the revised version I am currently revisiting I have sorted out the EQ'ing for the whole track. It was more to do with some errors when I was trying to reference the sound of the track over several speaker systems, the Hats/Cymbals being the most evident thing to correct and the lack of bass. When I release it it will sound alot cleaner, the EWQL Choir which signs out the words being clearer to hear and with my own vocal work added :)
