Interesting idea, production needs some work

There are some interesting riffs in there, I particularly liked the one that started around 1:45
I appreciate that you may have intentionally kept it as a guitar-only piece, but I want to hear some other instruments in your work soon! Get a kit in there.
When it comes to your guitars, if you're gonna get really serious about recording, I would seriously recommend investing in a Line 6 Pod or Digidesign box. My Pod improved my guitar recording quality hugely, and remains the best thing I've ever purchased.
Also, are you using a metronome? If not, you really should get into doing so. It just makes recording, double-tracking, re-recording, mixing, everything easier.
Good job though, I hope to hear more from ya.

thanks for the kind words man, it means a lot. I wanna get a Pod, but i don't have a lot of spare cash kicking around. I spent it on a channel switch/wah pedal board for the band I play in. And I intended to put a kit in, I just couldn't figure out how, what software do you use when you record? It might make thing easier for me to program drums in. I might sell my old squire guitar and amp to get some money for a pod. If it makes that big of a difference. I doubt I'll record anything again before I get a better sound, and I'll probably re-record this with the heavy part I intended to add. Thanks a lot for the kind words.

Genius xD

Made my lulz.
Your stuff is sounding shit hot these days, bro!
Ahaha <3 the breakdown ~half-way through. Totally unexpected.

Deathcalypse responds:

xD Thanks dude!

Nice work

This is some good stuff, there's a lot of potential here!
That intro chug is razor-sharp and very tasty!
I love the groovy bassline at 0:58 and the sexy thing that sounds like a bass with delay and flange added at ~2:00.
OOOOH and the breakdown at ~3:50 is creeaaamy!
You obviously have a lot of experience with this stuff, this is a very decent song you have here. The only thing that could improve this would be the use of real instruments. Assuming you're a guitarist, you can grab yourself a DI box and a basic copy of EZDrummer for not much money, and then you'll have yourself a very legit song here ;D

8/10 simply because of the FL instruments
5/5 (+ 0.62)

Fauxnim responds:

Thanks man. I know the FL sounds are horrid, to my ears even lol. Did you use EZDrummers to record your songs? or do I need a separate program to do that?

HELL YEAH!

This deserves to be at the top of the portal.
Nicely recorded and the vocalist has an EVILLL voice!
I loved the acoustic section too, very creepy.

9 only because I felt the gain was a little bit too high, but I 5'ed ya because this is much better than most of the stuff in the metal portal.

4.43 / 5.00 (+ 0.17)

SilverSpyro responds:

thanks man, yeah i think there is still a little bit more mastering to be done but we won't get that until the 16th.

Shit yeah!

You may say that you envy my tone, but I'll never beat your creative originality (or popularity)!

I agree with Jazzman, this is beautiful! It's rare that Metal can be fierce and also majestic, but this definately ticks both boxes!

Great job, sir!
Hurry up and release a Beyond Our Eyes E.P./album!

4.21 / 5.00 (+ 0.054)

Deathcalypse responds:

Heh, Thanks man! It'll probably be out within a month.

DUUUDE!

You EQ'ed my kit better than I do! XD

I love it! Can't wait to hear vocalss!

Deathcalypse responds:

Thanks man, im anxious for vocals too!

Incredible cover!

I first heard it on your YouTube and thought 'okay, so when does the cover start?'
Seriously bro, insanely tight performance!

5/5
3.92 / 5.00 (+ 0.13)

Deathcalypse responds:

LOL. Thanks man \m/

If this doesn't make it to the album...

I shall be very sad.
And will ask politely for an mp3 version.
Beautiful and brutal, just the way it should be.
Can't wait for the album!!

CWN responds:

I don't know when the album will be finished, it's a lot of damn work, and i just got some new equipment to record with... Plus university is killing me >.<
But there is a high chance, this song will end up on it !

Great job!

I love that riff!
Really interesting shit you got going on here, bro.
Nice sound too - what programs do you use?

TheSoulScream responds:

Thanks for review :)
its song i make with samples and with Adobe Audition 3 i mixing

I USED TO USE THAT KIT!

Haha very good choice sir.
And well done. It's very tight and does justice to the song. I am saddened by the lack of pinches though :(

Good job!

I'm Jak. I like to play guitar, write music, animate and draw. I've been in 6 bands in the past few years, few being successful. I now write and record my own stuff.
