[You Suck At Everything]

Brutal

Haha, you and Gorebastard are ones of the last musicians on NG who use Acoustica BeatCraft. I used to use it in my songs, and it bring me some great memories, so yeah, thanks for using it :P. About the song itself, the riff were pretty insane, the playing was very clean and the guitar tone very clean. The overall mix was good also, no saturation, no clipping. Well done ! 5'd.

Casualty responds:

Thanks dude! I think I'll stay with Acoustica for a while, it's some good shit ;D

[Metroid Prime 3 : Dark Samus]

\m/

I can recognise your style from the first note of the song. You really master those Midi programs :P. The ambiance was quite nice, dark and scary. The piano that play the very low notes gave the song this very particular feeling, but you have an other secret to make your songs sounding as good :P. My favorite part was at 3:08, I guess the instrument is called "sawtooth" or something like that, it sounds great. But I can notice in a lot of your songs that the ending could be improved, I mean the ending was to unexpected, I want to hear an Epic end ! 5'd as always !

Gorekiller responds:

Yes, the sawtooth was playing at 3:08. UNfortunatly, MP3:corruption was the last episode in sale... but I guess there will be a 4th one... it will be written "Did you ever think it was over ? Then you were wrong !!! I promise that my work will continue ! "Metroid Prime 4 : Addiction" THe game has just begun!" Thanks for the review, mate !

[Allemande JS Bach BWV 812]

Very nice bro !

Well played dude, some parts could have been more syncronized if you see what I mean. Just keep on practicing and it will be perfect. The harpischord sound were great, love this "crystal" sound, very very baroquish hehe. Great piece there, a nice piece of work as always ! Keep it up 5'd.

Gorekiller responds:

Woot, thanks, mate ! It was meant to be a conservatory piece... I think I missed it a bit... goddamnit, I'll do better next time.... yes sometimes, I slow down the tempoof this piece... this one wasn't meant to be played at an amazing speed, hopefully... thanks for the very helpfull review, mate ! Next time, I'll have to record myself playing the revolutionary piece of Chopin Op 10 no 12 !

[MACHETE]

Kick ass my friend

Scary synth and groovy drum beat. When the bass came in at 0:11, it was orgasmic ^^. The ambiance was perfect ... for the halloween contest. The voice was a nice addition and accentuated the darkass feeling of the song. Too bad it was short as fuck, but it loops well, so I can't bitch at you about this :(. Nothing else to say and you, my friend, you get a 5. \m/

[The Day That Never Comes Intro]

Kick ass

Great sound quality, well executed. I enjoyed the clean tone a lot, the light distortion was a good idea. The dist tone was great also, very close to the original, there was maybe too much bass, but it's only a detail. The drums were more a background instrument as in the original, and you reproduced it very well.

Overall, it's a great job. I can't expect more from it since it's a preview, but I really hope you will make a full version : 3. 5'd as well.

[Check Me Out]

Bad ass

Bad ass again, when I heard this, I could have sworn that it was a song from a kick ass band. The sound quality was so professional, I'm still impressed. Wicked riff, solid drum beat [<3], and awesome lead tone. In short, a master piece. And congrat's on the front page :D.

Dimoria responds:

Sweet man ;) Glad you liked it. Yeah kind of basic , but I needed something to try my new guitar on ;)
Cheers.

[Never Easy]

Didn't I reviewed it ?

I could swear I reviewed it before ... nevermind.

I'm sure you know that my hobbie is progressive riffs ... I freaking loved this. The drums sounded great, this must be your old setup, kick ass. Pretty good riff, very powerful and clean. The clean part reminded me of ...And Justice For All, the sound is very Metallica-ish. It's a great tribute to your friend's Mother, I hope you friend is now fine.

Dimoria responds:

Yeah man ;) Ofcourse. I also like progressive riffs :)
I've never actually heard And justice for all. Forgive me. But the black album was sort of the only album I really listened to with metallica :)
Cheers.

[Test 5]

Sick

That was totally wicked bro, as always I must say. The first riff with the light distortion was very tasty. Then it get insane, awesome drum fill at 0:03, Sup 2.0 is the shit. Then the riff was pure Swedish material, I mean pure kick ass material ^^. You Swedish guys are all talented ... I'm jalous. Great vocals, I'm surprised by to great quality, very well done. Overall, a good test. I can expect a larger length since it's a test, but I really dug it. 5'd.

Dimoria responds:

Sweet man ;) I wanted sort of a contrast between the main riff and the first.
I can't really agree with the drums. They work on this song. But I like sup 1 more. But since I have vista it doesn't work like it used to :/
Swedish guys aren't more talented then any other nations out there :)
I actually have almost the full song of this one. But I'm gona rerecord almost all of the guitars because I want a different sound .
Glad you liked it though ;D
Was fun to make some vokills for once.
Cheers.

[Desolate Ways - Morbid Angel]

Beautiful

I enjoyed the crisp and crystal-ish guitar sound, the reverb was very well mixed and the overall ambiance made me think of some water in a magic spring (I'm such a poet lol). The chord progression reminded me of a song by John 5, I think the song is called "2 Die 4". It an acoustic piece with a similar ambiance. I don't have anything to complain about since it's perfect. 5'd.

Eternalreich responds:

sweet ill check it out, and in the meantime listen to some morbid angel.

[Spirit of War - Monolith]

Maiden !

Instrumental-wise, it sounded very Maiden-ish, especially at the begining. Though, it gets progressive after the first music, I freaking enjoyed it. You guys are fucking virtuosos, it make me dream :3. Incredible guitar job as always, respect. The vocals were great, I loved how there are sometimes clean vocals and then bloody ass vocals, excellent mix. At 1:55, the vocals reminded me of Judas Priest, a very good point in my opinion. Overall this is a masterpiece, the sound quality could have been better, it's obvious, though I like this oldschool touch. It reminds me of Maiden and old Metallica, so I can't complain. 5'd.

Eternalreich responds:

Most excellent keep up the metal fury.
