Damn dude...

I love this. It's not really heavy metal at all, but the genre system on Newgrounds is way too basic, so I'll let it slide. The tone is excellent, except maybe the bass towards the end, and a bit of feedback at the beginning. It's nice to hear psychedelic music still out there. I put this on my iPod. If there was any way you could recreate this and make it a loop, it would probably get used in many cartoons and games. Excellent work.

Thanks dude!
If you could give some instructions on how to make it a loop I'ld appreciate it...
I'm an older musician and not the most familiar with the newest technologies.
But would be willing to attempt the loop.....lol
Thanks again for the review.......JQ

Not bad...

But you can't have such a scooped tone when you're doing a Mastodon cover. You have too much treble on your guitar and not enough on the bass. Also, I can hear when you pick, really loudly. Also, work on the volume differences in riffs. Drums aren't bad, almost nobody does their own drums on NG. I like this dude, maybe have somebody do vocals for it... (please note that I am always open to do vocal work by request lol). Good job man!

Umm...

Are you sure you picked the right genre? But sounds fine so 6/10... maybe change the genre though

Sounds good dude

Damn. I love this. Don't worry about zero bombers, it happens to everybody (me included lol). And btw, voting down doesn't boost anybody up. Also, who does the female voice? I've been looking for a female voice for some of my metal stuff. Are you using a YAMAHA keyboard for the strings? I think I might have the same one... Sounds good, you have a HAGGARD style in this. But during the solo, when it's just bass and drums on rhythm it needs something. Great song man, I downloaded and gave you 5/5, keep this up.

Damn that review was all over the place...

kensmalts responds:

Yeah it's played on a Yamaha I got at Best Buy... I'd like to upgrade but it seems like it's pointless to even look at a decent keyboard if you don't have at least $1000 in your hand.

We are thinking of adding a second guitar if we can find a good bass player... Derome and I are both guitar players so we are just making do for now. I'm sure the rhythm guitar will help fill out a few parts but with just the 4 elements we are working with now we just try to explore some different dynamics... and with the new drummer things are bound to get rewritten a bit. The cd version of this song might end up being a little different in sound but should be the same in overall structure and all that.

Oh ya and voting down does boost you up because the more you vote the more powerful your votes are and the more other things are voted down the higher other things would be in relation to them.

Dude...

0:34 Disturbed? And also Drums? Bass? Support Guitar? Finish this and then upload it dude. Guitar tone is off, the vox are good, but its no where near done. It will be good when you back that stuff up...

I shall do it dude...

I don't need the MP3 without vox, I'll just go over yours, and send you an MP3 of my vox alone... I like this track dude, any word on what styles of vox you want? Cause I kind of want to do high (where you have no idea what to do, I want to do war anger revenge and hate in really high singing), screaming, gutturals, all that stuff. PM me if you have any requests on what I should do. Great track man. The tone fits the style of riff perfectly

Eteocles responds:

Well, you'd be the vocalist so what style you pick is totally up to you! I like the high vocals, I like gutturals, it's all you bro! :) Send me a track of your vocals and I'll mix'm into the mix and re-submit this! :D

Probably no like... pig squeals or anything though lol it's not too terribly heavy

I know I rated the new version

But man, you gotta fix the tone on the guitar. In all of your posts with it, the tone is bad. You said you use an RP250, I have the 350, and I found that a decent rhythm tone can be made when you play on KILLER (40) and then record the same track on HAIRDY (45), that will balance the highs and lows. Hope to hear more themes in the future. The SAW II one would be epic, dude.

Great

But at parts it sounds like there is too much going on and the melodies don't match up. Which is another problem, there is only melody and nothing backing it up. And the instruments come and go without warning, sometimes it seems very unnatural. The drum is out of place, but overall, this song shows a lot of musical knowledge

Excellent

You guys listen to King Diamond don't you? If you get a good quality recording of this I'll do some high vocals and guitar solos for it if you like. The quality wasn't half as bad as some of the things you can hear on NG. I like it, keep of up. Maybe the guitars should be turned up, I can hear the bass louder than the guitars. Excellent writing and playing, this song is pretty sweet, its going on my ipod
10/10
5/5

Great Job!

Lost-Thought responds:

Thank you for reviewing and rating, we have solos for this song but we just haven't recorded them yet

I'll have a go at it...

I've recently noticed that I have nothing to show for myself here on NG, so I'll give a whack at this, and see if everybody likes it. Great backing track, that's loads of inspiration for me right there. Great job man, i have work to do!
