"Good Structure"

submission: TDF - Sleep is for the Weak

date: October 26, 2009

It seems that you took your time with this one and planned each step carefully.The structure is smooth and each riff fit perfectly.Even then, I still have some gripes with this song.The first riff sounded atonal, as if it wasn't following a particular scale.I could be wrong.

Another thing, I think you should fix the rhythm guitars that were under the solo at 1.27-1.37, during your sweeping.Figure out what scale you are on and try to hit the notes that the rhythm guitars are playing.If you wish to become a lead guy, try to learn the basics of keys,scales and time signatures.

As far as becoming pro is concerned, I went to your myspace to listen to your other songs as well.With the material that you are creating I think that it is a possibility.

"Its good, but it needs a little improvement."

submission: Orion(Cover)-Metaljonus

date: August 30, 2009

Compared to your older cover (Arise) your production has improved.The Guitars are great and 100% mud free.Your drums samples are EQ'ed in nicely as well.Really, the only complaint I have is in regard to the Bass.

I was disappointed that you didn't play the three chord intro with a bass, like in the original.I also felt that the bass was too muddy at 3:14.It sounds like you are using too many chorus effects.

Other than the minute issues with the bass, this cover is great.

+5

"Great"

submission: COVERArise-Metaljonus

date: August 24, 2009

First of all, I would like to say that the guitars are great.They're extremely tight and in time with the drums.You pretty much got the song down note per note.However, I do have some minor issues.Well, I think the overheads could have mixed better.They're just too bright / trebly.

And another thing, the rhythm guitars are a little on the muddy side.From the sounds of it, it sounds like you're using an Alnico pickup.Other than that, your cover is flawless.

Nice job dude.

Score: 10

"Excellent Vocals."

submission: Hollow (cover)

date: June 5, 2009

You're pretty consistent through out the song with your vocals and guitar playing.I also think your cover has better production than the album version.The original just has way too much reverb and effects.

Your version is raw and right to the point.Although, I feel that a few things could have been done.A bass guitar would have been a nice addition to the song,that and you could have made the rhythm guitar sound a little wider/bigger.

Other than that, your cover is great.Keep up the good work.

+1 Download.

"Needs work."

submission: Epic Metal +Drums Added

date: May 5, 2009

I gotta hand it to you, the music isn't bad but the EQ is.Sometimes your guitar tracks were off beat.That and I feel that your guitar lacks presence and treble.

I would recommend that you redo the guitar tracks that had mistakes and EQ it some more.Also, try doubling your rhythm's and pan your guitar 100% left and right.

If you want it to be heavier try panning your tracks 100%-75% on both sides.

Score: 9

"Fantastic quality."

submission: Karyn's Fuking Secret Project

date: April 9, 2009

This is a very emotional and melodic song you have here.It all flows nicely but..I feel that it lacks variety.Then again, I don't listen to much doom metal or slow tempo songs like this.

But then again..This would be a good First track on a CD.Then after this you could possibly kick up the tempo with a Progressive / Thrash beat.But overall, this is one of the finer songs I have heard on Newgrounds.

And if you had a lead guitarist shred over your melodic rhythms, I think it would be a good fit.

Other than that..I think you have something good going on.Keep up the good work.And perhaps you could find your self band members with similar music tastes?

Score: 6

"Not bad,But is lacking."

submission: {--Hush--}

date: January 4, 2009

Its not a bad tune, but I find it lacking in some areas.The harmony with the two guitars in the beginning and later on didnt sound right to me.I just felt that the notes kinda clashed against eachother as if they were a half a note too sharp/flat etc.

That and I felt your solo had too many hammer ons.I think it would be better if you did some sliding and moved around for some variety.

But other than that, I gotta say that I liked the chords you used.They produce the majority of the 'mellow' of the song, so I wouldnt change them if you ever update the song in the future.

Well thats all I can say for this song.

As for you, keep practicing.You have potential.

Score: 9

"Dark-Brutal-Metal"

submission: Worship the Beast

date: December 2, 2008

This is by far one of the best if not the best produced songs on newgrounds in terms of sound quality.Even so, I still see room for improvement.

I feel that the Guitars are a bit too trebly, because at times I dont really dont know whats going on when you are tremelo picking.That and I feel they dont really have a ''kick'' to them..You know?

Other than that, your song/production skills are pretty solid.

Nice work.

Score: 9

"Good but.."

submission: watch me sleep-halloween entry

date: October 26, 2008

I feel that it would have been better if you cranked up the volume a tad once the instruments started kicking in.It was still good though.

It sorta sounds like something you would hear in an anime..Kinda like a futuristic halloween?

Score: 6

"Too long"

submission: End the World

date: October 23, 2008

The song is a bit too long and it needs more vareity.Its not a bad song it just needs some fixing up.

Try messing around with it some more.
