Oh my...

Man, you are a fucking source of riffs, this is impressive. I can easily say that you are the best rhythm guitarist on NG, your riffing is so clean. Again, I noticed some killer octaves and harmonizations that make your songs sounds so bad ass. Also I noticed your famous clean/chorus guitar tone lmao.

Excellent bass job here, you nailed that fucking Squier crap, I like how your tone was full of high :D. The drums were perfect but I still think that the snare is a bit too loud, fix that shit >:U lmao. Oh, crap, the ending at 5:40 is beautiful, that lead guitar tone is so sweet, it reminded me a bit of Jon's crazy lead tone :P.

Great production dude, it's nice to have you back and submitting again, contact me again if you submit anything new. Enjoyed, 5'd.

I worked pretty damn hard on making this one a simple but totally rockin tune that would be easy to rock out to while playing. Who want to watch a guy look at his guitar neck all day? The clean tone is a "message in a bottle" patch off my pod slighty tweakified. I could use with a dirtier tone i guess.

The octive thing and diminished harmony is kinda my trade mark, sometimes the riff really sets it self up for that kind of shit and i can't help myself.

The bass was tough on this one. I only had a 4 string bass but the song has 7 string parts so i had to find the best way to make it sound hefty. It turned out pretty raw sounding.

I was insired by the strings in the Pink Floyd song "Cofortably Numb" for the harmonies at the end, the desending bits. I'm pretty fucking happy with the way this demo came out.

Fucking brutal

You riffing is quite awesome, your dirty tone and Beatcraft goes well together. Some riffs were a bit of tempo though, but I'm sure you don't fuckin care, isn't it ? :P. Nice double bass also, Beatcraft sounds quite good indeed, I hated it back in the days, when I was using it xD. Well done dude, keep on making headbangable song \m/ 5'd as alwats :D.

Casualty responds:

Thanks mate, fucking awesome review! I'll try to check out some of your stuff soon! Also no, we don't care if I'm off tempo. Whatever.

CHEERS!

Great!

Woo, that's awesome if you recorded it when you were 14, really there are some great riff and it was well played. Good job with the drums, the double was sometime a bit off tempo, but it's still nice. That break at 0:18 was so tasty, fucking enjoyable :D.

You said that a friend of your play the drums and another played the second guitar but what about the bass? There is a bass and it's obvious (1:42), so who played it? lmao - Sorry, I'm being a bitch ;P. Well done overall, you get my five!

\m/

HappyHomicide responds:

I wrote it at 14, I recorded it at my current age of 15 :P Theres only so much you can do with the drums dude, the drummer (16) had not warmed up and was tired :P My friend (16) played second guitar (left) and I (15) played guitar (right) and bass. We're youngsters :P

Nice harmonisations

Quite good soloing there, I especially enjoyed the harmonisations you did, I think you used the Minor harmonic scale here, the backing track works well with that scale ;). I think HH said it in his author's description. The sweepings were nice but it could have been a bit cleaner - sorry, I'm bitching :P. Nice tapping also, these licks were well harmonised again :D.

Overall, good try, I should give a try to this one also xD. 5'd brother.

TheRealSam responds:

Warn me when it's out, I'd definitely want to ear it! :)
Thanks a lot for your review but don't speak scales with me, I'm just playing by ear, which is a shame I know (damn, I realy need to learn scales XD).
I know about the sweepings, I did my best :p I'll keep practicing, don't worry ^^
C ya, and thanks again bro'!

Great

Man, you are awesome in all music style, it pisses me :P. Great version of Little-Wing, I found this pretty awesome although you lacked of time.

Nice rhythm section, the guitar sounded old school, nice job with the tone. And the bass tone was ... grungy, as in the original, it's pretty awesome it gave the song an authentic feeling. The drums were awesome as always, that snare is tasty as fuck. Nice drum fills and breaks.

The solo was killer, you got an amazing feeling, that first bend was fantastic, it sounded SteveVai-ish, are you Vai inspired? The ending was nice but too bad the last part with the dist guitar was too short, I would love to hear a bit more of that ;). Other than that, well done <3. 5'd.

Dimoria responds:

Well I think this whole song is sort of the worst I've ever done. But I wanted to throw up something full for once. And I made this for my aunt as a christmas present. This is her favourite song . And it made her cry ( in the good way ;D ) so it fills my need for this song. But really nothing special about this one.
Cheers.

Aww epic!

That's an insane idea, one of the best Classical Artist and one of the best - actually not ;) - Metal Artist collabing, that must kick some ass.

Yeah, great guitar work, I really like you guitar tone, very dry and clean. And your riffing is precise as always. The solo/melody at 0:51 is so nice, nice picking, this sounds very DarKside-ish :). And kick ass song by Maestro, he got a very unique sound, that "Dind Ding" like you said is awesome xD. Well, I can't criticise that much, so nice fucking job.

Also, I like that mailing list, it help me to keep a track of your latest submissions, nice idea. I should do the same and flood your hotmail inbox so you will HAVE to review my song lmao. 5'd fucker.

DarKsidE555 responds:

Haha, well, what can I say? Since the "fan-stats" here on NG are only a gimmick at the moment, I guess it was the best thing I could do. Informing the people over reverbnation is very easy and the best of all...free AND you can earn money as well...not millions but hey, a little is something as well! ;)

Yeah, Maestro is quite the epical wanker of failness! Glad you liked it homi! ;D

Kick ass collab

Nice dude, it really cought my attention from the beginning, very catchy.

About your work, Dickface, that was pretty good. Nice guitar tone, neat and clean, also your tone fitted the mix very well although the rhythm guitar tracks could have been a bit louder. Your guitar tone was sweet. Awesome drums job here! It sounded very real and I could not have noticed that you were using EZdrummer without being informed of it before.

And the synth work was epic, I have no complain about it, really. The synths gave a Video Game feeling to the song and I found very interesting to mix between heavy guitars and video game sounds, nice idea. At 4:15, is that a lead synth or your guitar? It was hard to decide since it sounded distorted but also synthetic.

Overall, kick ass piece of work, the amount of work behind this is obvious and I really dug it :D. 5'd by bro \m/ 4.66 / 5.00 (+ 0.041)

DarKsidE555 responds:

Gathering review responding points ey? You little schmuck yo! ;D

Anyways...rule 10. Hmm, I do agree on the rhythm guitar but that's something that can be corrected quite quicky. Seeing that this song is more synth based I think it's ok the way it is. Try hearing it on a 5.1 stereo. You'll notice that the rhythm guitar is fine the way it is, even if it sounds a bit "down under". ;)

Hehe, as for the drums. I kinda tried something new there. Glad you think that it sounded authentic! >:) At 4:15, there are lead synths playing. We had the idea of a duet first but I think going with the synth there was a better idea. :) I do play a little melodical solo from 5:27 if you haven't noticed that as well. lol

Thanks for the 5 and the review SonOfCock!

Sweet

That riff is sweet as fuck dude, that chord progression reminds me of and old riff I wrote and that I submitted on my alt, but I already told you that.

The guitar effect at the beginning were awesome, that reversed delay gave a chilly feeling to the song and it really correspond with the title. I use this kind of effect a lot on my songs to create a kind of synth. Though at 0:10 when it gets heavy, that reversed cymbals is too loud and it erase the power of the riff that follows, if you get what I mean ...

At 0:33, that ambiance is pure genius, these guitar riffs are so tasty and here again, great use of the delay on the guitar. As always in your song, the drums kick ass. I can notice that you used some samples from Superior 1.0, I think. At least the snare sounds like Superior 1.0 :P. That drum fill at 0:38, is so fucking effective ... I love it.

Well, for a test, it's great as fuck. Too bad it's just a test ... Like half of your song :(. I'm really looking forward to hearing a FULL song from you ; ). Great job 5'd.

Dimoria responds:

Thx man ;) I don't really know which song you mean but it's kind of cool that we think alike ;) I actually just recorded the riff , then went to audio in cubase and processes and then just faded it in. I think I have some kind of phaser effect on it.
But I didn't reverse it. Yeah I have to agree with the cymbal. I just made this fast to show J1mp something for his game. I'm gona try to continue on it. But as of now I sort of have a problem with the drums. Everytime I save something the drums disappear for some reason. That is the Sup 1 drums . I just use the Kick from Sup 2 so it's always there. As I said earlier I'll try to make a full song. The problem is just I have such few ideas nowadays so when I have a new one I start on that one. Glad you liked it :) Cheers.

O.o

That is bad ass dude. The first thing I noticed is that you changed your drum kit a bit, the snare is different, it used more high frequencies. Also the kick is pure brutality, I love this kick sound with a whole bunch of high and few middle ^^. Though at 1:39, the snare sounds too synthetic if you see what I mean, not very realistic. The cymbals sound well too.

The guitar tone was nice as fuck and the bass fitted well the guitar tone. The riffing was great as always, very precise and accurate. My favourite was at 1:53, this riff is just bad ass. Though at 1:58, it would seems that the riff is a bit off tempo. This is my only complain.

This made my day, brutal as fuck as I like, thanks : ). 5'd.

AngelsDontKill responds:

Thanks a lot for the review, man, that is the best feedback I have gotten. I understand that the riff sounded a little off a few seconds into it, that would be my fault (it was just a bitch to play, haha). The snare is just a sample, so I had very little control over not letting it sound a bit synthetic. I am glad you like how everything sounds otherwise though, I did this mainly for practice. Hopefully I will pump out something a little better soon. Thanks again, dude!

Haha awesome

Woot, that theme is fuckin' kick ass, that melody will stay in my brain all the day. Great guitar job, your tone was nice a fuck, very "neat". Did you programmed the rest of the music yourself with Reason or did you downloaded a Midi file? In any case, the instruments were very nice. Man, I'm sure Statwhore will like this song, great job! 5'd as well.

"I'm a statman !!!"

Black-Cloak-of-Night responds:

Haha, glad you like it man. No midi here. I'm against midi's like no other! The song was uber simple to do. There were 4 patterns only. They were easily cut and paste, for the whole song. The melody is simple as well. I used two different preset beats from reasons Dr.Rex loop player. I think that is as far as I went to not program. But I did edit the beats to fit the song. So technically, its all programmed.
And well, guitar...I had no choice. Guitar is in my blood. I will incorporate it into anything I can. haha.

Enjoy my music :)
