Sweet

This is going to be fucking amazing. I'm really loving the new tone of everything man. Plus your mixing has gotten a lot better since the original version of this. Everything has it's place and nothing is too overpowering. Great job with it.

Good job

All around a solid performance, but it could use some more tweaking. The biggest problem I'd say I have is that the tune sounds a lot thinner than when listening to the instrumental. It gets a bit better when I use my headphones though. It just lacks a bit of the punch it had. The vocals themselves are well sung, and you've definitely got a badass voice, but they could have been a bit tighter. They just seemed a little loose to me in spots. It might have been that they were too close together though. A bit of panning may have fixed it, but I'm not entirely sure.

I really do like the tune though man. The more I listen the more it grows on me. You also did really well with the lyrics. I'll definitely be looking forward to more tunes with your vocals on them.

I also had a question for you, what vocal exercises did you do to get your upper register sounding so damn powerful?

XxCRUCIFIEDxX responds:

Thanks man, I can always count on you for keeping it real bro. \m/

I use cool edit pro the last version so I have to compress the heck out of it. to make it uploadable, the master track I have is very rich and the levels are almost perfect but that's the problem with multi tracking sometimes. I wish I had an Apple computer for recording.

I am a second generation vocalist so some of it is genetic but I run my scales very loosely but strictly. You know hitting that high is just control of the throat and chest really. I used to over project but after lots of practice I found less push and more control of the note brought a better sound and kept it sounding loud. Remember less is mostly always more. Do you sing?

Badass

I must say I quite like this track. Some well played, and in general kickass riffs. Though I'm not entirely sure how much the little leads fit. They stick out way too much to me. The drums sound pretty fucking good though. The snare could be a bit louder, but that's more of my personal taste. Badman did an amazing job with the vocals. The cleaner singing is pretty good, but could be a bit dirtier. Then again it might just be that I'm not used to hearing it in death metal, haha. All around you guys did a great job. Hope to hear some more badass tunes in the future.

Cool tune

The tune is cool, but the guitars are a bit loud. They really overshadow everything. If you were to pull them back a bit the drums would be a lot easier to hear. Anyway man, I might mess with some vocals for it, I've been wanting to do some gutturals and whatnot lately.

XxCowMeatxX responds:

you think? ill change that right now actually. id love to hear some vox from you. have fun with it.

stay brutal \m/

Cool

It's cool that you posted the backing track. I'll download it and play over it when I get the chance. Any extra information you can give out? Like the key, chord progression etc...? Either way, thanks a lot.

sorohanro responds:

not much of a progression, is just G#minor and E minor
first each chord going one bar, then each chord going half of a bar, then going pam-pam-pam-pam, then outro and good bye ... way too simple to call it a progression
thanx for review
i'm looking forward to hear your version

Nice

Pretty cool sounding man. most of the arpeggios sounded pretty clean, though a couple sounded like they could have been smoother. All in all though it was nice listening to. I also like your kick a lot. I'll have to check out some of your other tunes when I get more time.

sorohanro responds:

thanx man
i need a washing machine to clean my arpegios (and not only)
i think i need to practice more, but after all, i'm a trumpet player usually
most of my stuff here is jazzy with trumpet, but lately i got a new guitar and i'm preety excited about, so i started practice and got some ideeas ...
glad you like it, hope you'll like the rest of my stuff

Nice

Your guitars sound really good man. You using a mic? Or going direct? I also liked how you had the leads as more of a background support. No real complaints or suggestions for this one. Nicely done.

Eternalreich responds:

the guitar is direct i think micing would get a better sound though

Wow

How the fuck di dI miss this one? I really love this tune. You've got some cool riffs in here, especially that first one, it's catchier than hell. I also like the groove that follows. I don't really have any big complaint with the mixing, but there were a few little things. Like that background lead that comes in around 1:00. It kind of made it muddy until it stopped. It probably woul dhave been better to pan that out somewhere, or just have a different eq setting for your leads so that they wouldn't take up as many of the same frequencies as your rhythm. Still though, I really enjoyed it.

XxCowMeatxX responds:

Thanks alot bro! i really love your reviews. there some of the rare helpfull reviews i get. not that i dont like a nice "FUCK THAT WAS GREAT" review but i love help even better.

stay brutal bro \m/

Wow

I must say this is one of Badman's best vocal jobs I've heard to date. The tune itself is well written and pretty catchy. It's all mixed fairly well too. Though the vocals should be a bit louder in this version. All around this is a cool tune.

XxCowMeatxX responds:

Yes... i have to agree with you on that one, and im glad it was my track lol. thanks for all the praise bro btw.

anyways thanks for giving me my first 10th 10 in a row ;D

stay brutal \m/

Badass

As always you manage to put a bunch of badass riffs into your tunes. Your rhythm playing never fails to entertain me. Though the drums could use some tweaking. Mostly adding some compression and a bit of eq tweaking. I liked the bass, but it would have been punchier if it was kept clean. Though that's a personal preference of mine. The tune should be interesting with vocals. Especially since it's been so long since I heard you do any growling. You manage to get deeper with them? Anyway man, glad to hear something new from you.

If any flash author's want some custom music for their flash just let me know. I'd be more than happy to try and help you out.
