Excellent Vocals.

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.

Yeah, I would have definitely put a bass in, if I had a bass to play.
That's one thing on my to-get list.
As for the guitar, I actually only played it through one time, but used two different tracks, a direct sound and a miced sound. I mixed the direct a little lower, and boosted the bass. I kept the miced sound pretty high, and put a slight chorus/delay and some reverb on it for thickness. I think I left the direct sound dry.
If I had reverbed the direct sound as well, it would have probably sounded a little more spacious, but I didn't want it to get too ethereal, or it would have diminished the impact.
Thanks for the review, man. I appreciate the kind words.

Needs work.

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.

Fantastic quality.

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?

Thank you :d !!!!!!!!!!!!

Not bad,But is lacking.

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.

InsertFunnyUserName responds:

I'll take this all into consideration. Thanks for the detailed review.

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.

Goatchrist responds:

The trebly feel is quite intentional, to be honest ^^

but I'm always working on the production. Thanks for your detailed review!

Good but..

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?

zomgkerrie responds:

yea, it seems the general consensus is that i need to learn how to work balancing the different channels and levels better haha. and futuristic halloween ftw lol....thank you! that's actually a huge compliment since i love the music that is anime! thanks so much for taking the time to listen adn review!

Too long

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.

FolksFox responds:

2 and a half minutes is too long?
Wow you are impatient then... lol...
I actually wanted this to be 3 minutes
Cuz its too short. Lol, thanks for reviewing. I appreciate it.

Short but sweet

Once it reaches 21 seconds it sorta reminds me of a Chuck Schuldiner solo.But either way this is the best sounding solo on NG.Its pretty inspirational..That and it has feeling.

Although it would be awesome if you transitioned to a different key at 1.14 and changed it into a darker sounding song.I really dont feel like gettng into details but yeah either way this song is awesome.

Good

Its not bad at all.

Although..It doesnt sound like it is at its max potential.It could use a bass and some drums.But yeah..Its still good as it is.

ConnieB responds:

thanks, every drum line ive tried seems to take over the whole song, i can't really get something that fits in there good, i was still pretty new at playing bass when i recorded this so i understand what you mean by that...

Nice

It fits its theme really well and its entertaining.

It would be nce for it to be an acual full song,
