[Death by bear (w/vox)]

Hahaha

You've gotta love any tune about being killed by a bear. The only thing I can really say against the tune is that there was some clipping. Other than that, everything is great. TwilightNecrosis did a great job with the vocals, and you played the guitar well. The drums are also pretty cool.

[Seek & Destroy - { Zyclon }]

Hmm

The guitar panned to the right sounded a lot louder than the one to the left, so it threw me off somewhat. It you fixed the mixing it wouldn't be so odd. The playing sounded decent enough though. Also, I'm not sure if you noticed, but you misspelled Destroy.

Zyclon responds:

oops. I missed that. Haha. Must be my dyslexia as bad-man has pointed out. I must be deaf in the right ear. That would explain why it's louder in the right than the left too, Or it could just be that I didn't notice cause of the crappy speakers.

Thanks for the review man. I'll talk to you online soon.

[:Mother:]

Wow

Pretty damn emotional. The song is very well written, and the recording quality is quite amazing. You must have some really sweet gear. Anyway, the only thing I can really nitpick about is at a few spots when you guys went higher, your voices seemed to distort a bit. Like the db level was too much for the channel/mixer track. Either that or your voices spl was too much for the mic for a brief moment. Other than that this sounds fantastic.

[9000]

Not bad

The new tone sounds pretty good. I'm also liking the newer style. It'll be interesting to see what you do with it in the future. Though now you need to adjust your mixing again, haha. There was clipping in some areas. I also think that the riff that comes in at about 1:40 should have been slower and sounding more like a breakdown. I think it would have contrasted the faster grooves you had going in the song well. Anyway man, keep up the good work.

[Origins "preview"]

Fuck

That's pretty damn heavy man. How much of the tune have you actually worked out? Sounds like it'll be a good one when it's finished. I would point out mixing tweaks, but I'm sure you're already aware of them. Anyway man, hope to hear the finished version soon.

[Worship the Beast]

Wow

I really enjoyed listening to that man. Your mixing has gotten better as well, I'm liking the more balanced sound. The song is fairly simple, but definitely effective. I can only think of one thing I'd add, and that would be clean singing during that clean section up to about the three minute mark. In a somewhat similar style the bassist from Dimmu Borgir. I really thought it would have fit well there. Anyway, loved the track man, this one is getting downloaded.

Goatchrist responds:

Well, I thought of that, but my clean voice is....well, trash :P

Thanks for the detailed review dude. Glad you enjoyed it!

[** \ The Sleep Pt I / **]

Hmm

You did a fantastic job writing it, and the playing sounds spot on. I also loved the samples you used for the crows and thunderstorm. I think it may be the mixing that is a little off. It's not anything serious, I just think the distorted guitars starting at around 2:16 are a bit too dry until it gets to about 2:44. They just sound too different to my ears. Since everyhting else seems to have more reverb, they just stick out too much. Other than that it was badass, and I'll deinitely be looking forward to the second part.

Sonofkirk responds:

Yeah, I was very inspired ... The samples are from a site called "Freesoud", it's pretty cool. About the distorted guitars, you're right. Actually, I wanted to have a less powerful distortion, I mean softer. Yes, I've had some reverb to generate a different sound at the end.
Anyway, thanks for your excellent review, dude.

[PR - hurd u liek mudkipz]

hahaha

It's a bit hard to make out some of the lines, but it was still quite hilarious. Hopefully there will be some more shit like this from you. You've still got some brutal lows.

CyriltheWolf responds:

My cousin's voice is filling out to. Oh yes, the brutality will ush forth sometime. XD

[Magnum-Metaljonus]

Cool

Haha, there were a few melodies that reminded me of Dragonforce, but the bulk of the song was pretty different. Mostly your soloing. Hopefully you'll decide to finish it at some point. It's a pretty cool tune.

Metaljonus responds:

Thanks!
