Sonofkirk's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Narcistic Deathtrap]

\m/

You are the best rhythm guitarist ever man, this is so clean and accurate. You play with an incredible amount of "accuracy". Very well composed, it was epic as hell :P. Sometimes it sounds a bit like a scale practice but it's very pleasant to hear actually, so yeah. And brutal vokillls. I loved it. The guitarists have a God, you are this God. 5'd 4.09 / 5.00 (+ 0.090).

Metal up your God ass \m/ :P

Eternalreich responds:

Pft. God is pleased.

[Arpegio Study No. 2 - Reich]

Oh ... My ... God ...

I love how you make this backing track sound evil as fuck, you are really incredible. And I love your tone, dude. Very clean and crisp, also your playing is very accurate. The mix was perfect nothing to complain about this. I'm still impressed. This version beat mine for sure :P. You know the score my good man. 4.23 / 5.00 (+ 0.073) + Downloaded.

Eternalreich responds:

Wow this means a lot coming from you dude. I'm pretty self concious about my lead playing,iIhave to make up for speed by layering and having solid melodies that mesh well with the track, otherwise if i improvised "speed" style licks you would hear a lot of me staying in the same spot doing lame 3 note runs. i gotta either unlearn bad habits or use the ones i have to thier best ability.

There are about Four or five diffrerent tones in this tune.I took the "struggle within" route and recorded with fat tones for the double stop parts and thinner ones for the harmony leads. My favorite is the back ground high reverb lines that come in the left speaker around :35. You can bearly hear it but it adds a whole different ambience to it.

I really tried to pan everything differently this time too . Rather than panning symetricly i went for a more just left or right, like when synth parts come in you hear the guiatrs pan over.

Yourswas totally true to the song by the way.

[Wollt Ihr Das Dick In Flammen?]

Kick ass

Really enjoyed it man :P. Yeah this riff is quite heavy. Though it gets very repetive after 45 secondes. I don't know the original version. Is the original version like this or your just played the main riff ? I suggest you to add a presonal thing of you ... maybe a melody or something ; ). Anyway great song \m/. 5'd 4.66 / 5.00 (+ 0.081).

Btw, happy 4 year on NG anniversary :P.

Casualty responds:

The original version is that riff for like 3 minutes, before it switches to something else, so don't complain about that =P

Thanks for everything!

[Colonizing the sun (cool bit)]

Don't know this band but ...

... it freackin' rocks. Weird and progressive riffs. Nice drums, btw, the Sonor snare sounds great : ). But, personally, I prefer the Tama snare :P. Nothing to complain about unless that is a little short. Keep it metal \m/ 3.84 / 5.00 (+ 0.15)

Xenogenocide responds:

Ah, you mean the THE snare? yes, I used to use that quite a lot. Might use it again, but this is the beefiest sound I could come up with that sounds most like a real drummer and less like EZDrummer :P

[{-^MP^-} Epic Sneak...]

Nice

Yes, like you said, it sounds like a trailer for an espionage movie, and I was thinking of a Madness battle too ; ). This is the kind of chord progressions I like (I, III, IV and V).This sounded quite epic :P. And as always nice choice of intruments. But two things. At the end the drums could have had more intensity to make the song more epic. And then, "distorted synth" hasn't enough sustain. Try do add more sustain to make it more catchy ; ). Overall gread job. 5'd as always with your songs. 4.09 / 5.00 (+ 0.12)

Musical-Pants responds:

Thanks a lot.
I agree there are some things that need to be worked on, and I'll keep your comments in mind.

[Gift of the Creator - Monolith]

{Headband}

Hell yeah man. This shit rocks, I'm a fan of your band. You band mixed oldschool metal with black metal, it's great. I loved when the singer says "overcoming" at 0:56, lol. Overall this song has a Disturbed feeling, music and vocals. The quality sound was rather nice in this piece ; ). 5'd bitches. 4.17 / 5.00 (+ 0.058)

Eternalreich responds:

All i hear is hi hat when i hear this song.

[Mario 2 - Underground - Reich]

LOL

That was shitty dude, lmao. Just kidding, it's ubernice. Liked the phaser on the dist guitar. Nice clean guitar, it has a bass feeling ;P. And it loops very good, so stfu. lol. 5'd my good man. 4.25 / 5.00 (+ 0.055)

Eternalreich responds:

yeah wait for a projectgodmode mario 2 track soon.

[Born Into the Beast - Monolith]

\m/

Yeah that was awesome as always, your band is the shit. You would seem to be a fan of diminished scales lol. Uber-awesome guitar work,nice arpeggios, you fucker. Liked the reversed guitar intro and the clean part at 3:23, the drum break was great lol. You guys are really good musicians : ). Though the sound quality wasn't "optimum". But still nice. Keep it metal \m/ fived 4.27 / 5.00 (+ 0.037)

BTW, the last riff was groovy as hell, I love it.

Eternalreich responds:

Awesome to hear from the guitar prodigy, your reviews are always awesome.

Yeah that diminished stuff would be a guy named Matt Bryson(MindOverMatt). These we mostly his riffs i believe. He loves diminished metaling, plus its allways evil as hell.

I just wished we could have gotten a better guitar sound. That would have made it a lot easier on the ears, the rhythms mainly. i'm pretty happy with the clean sound though. I got to use an old jazz guitar for it, its the same riff thats played backwards in the intro

[Maiden - TheTrooper - Monolith]

Haha, awesome.

Very old-school sound and shitty sound quality = awesomeness. Very nice job dude. I really enjoyed the vokills, they were very close to the original :P. Nice guitar, bass and drums job. Monolith rocks hard \m/ 5'd fuckers 4.27 / 5.00 (+ 0.037)

Eternalreich responds:

ha yeah dude we were wasted, its almost the same quality as the original those old fucks recorded with sticks and lightbulbs back then. jk

[Eternity'sBloodline-ReichDemo]

Epic

I'm listening this with my new headphones and it's totally epic. This song would be perfect "The Great Final Duel" of a game or a film. I'm totally amazed o.O. The chord progression wasn't very complicated but I liked it a lot. The strings arpeggios at the begining was great. The only thing I can complain about is the drums. The were to repetitive, I suggest more variations with the Ride Bell, the Crashes and the Toms. Did you make them or Vicehark made them ? And about the guitar, you are a master, I'm speechless. Full version please !! 5'd 4.11 / 5.00 (+ 0.082)

Eternalreich responds:

Yeah man this kind of shit needs to be simple for the synth to stand out more. ill redo it and post again with some slight changes.
