I especially like the way you have evolved as a musician. It definately seems like you're more serious.

Ich Bin Der Kriegmeister

Do you record the drums or just a drum editor? Cause like, is there any bass drum?
If you're just hitting the snare I'll let you off as you're a guitarist.
Maybe just get a program like Beatcraft though and just program some.

The guitars in the first bit are alright. The breakdown is crap. Needs a decent drum backing some cymbals and stuff.

I like the vocals though. I never expect you to be as decent as you are :P. Be proud of them.

I use an editor.

That was a one-time thing. I hadn't much time to record it, and there is some bass drum in the breakdown.

I'll take that under advisement.

Thanks for the constructive criticism and the compliment on the vocals.

Stoner Rock isn't really my scene (as its Rock and I generally dislike that style).
But I could listen to this easily, the riffs work and theres nothing horrible about the instrumentation.
And I actually like the vocals. They remind me of that Pink Floyd song 'The Gnome'. Just sounds like you're singing directly from some kind of LSD trip. Its a bit high-pitched but then you're only a little baby. But I do like the sound of your voice. Its different and I find that interesting and the best bit the song.

Liberation of the Chosen One

"Great stuff."

date: January 11, 2009

The intro is nice and the riffs are good straight off the bat, nice mixture of speed and melody with a lovely degree of coldness (helped by the vocals of course. I don't see where you've experimented, but I like them all the same - as usual).
The fills in the riffs are nice.
And the production is much fuller this time - which the Nev demographic prefers ;).

I actually prefer the rest of the song to the bridge :P.
And I really like the outro, kinda reminds me of Sigh.

I like it Marky :).

Hehe, thanks a lot for the detailed review dude :) I'm glad it appealed to the demopgraphic of Nev ^^

I used some different growling techniques here. Not much of a difference in sound, but it was a lot different to record.

Eternal Sin - The Conquest

"Good stuff."

date: December 16, 2008

I wasn't really into it at first but after that acoustic bridge and the build up from there it really gets good :).
I think the bass is a bit weak though, I don't know how good your recording knowledge is but I know some little tricks to improve the bass so that it transfers from a mixdown environment to home listening one if you need it.

But yeah, I like :).

Author's Response:

Thanks man, but those damn 128 kbit due to conversion don't help much either. There is definitely more bass in the *.wav or the 256 kbit version. 8 Megs for modern times? Pathetic.

Thanks for the review dude.

Iblis- Beneath /w Vox

"It's good..."

date: December 7, 2008

Despite some bland 'Chugga-Chug. Chugga-Chug' riffs there is some good stuff (the intro is decent and there is good pinches) and the bits more reminiscent of Prog/Tech are good.
Drums are nice too. And vocals aren't bad.

The guitar sound is a bit Killswitchy though, wheres the grim and frostbitten production :P?

"This one is nicer :)."

I've only listened to the first 30 seconds cause thats all that loaded. But its much more subtle and what I like in my ambient genre :).
Some parts do sound as though they're psuedo-Asian or something and its a wee bit trippy, but I'm not sure whether thats good or bad... maybe a bit of both. Bad... in an infectious way.
And the production is still cracking :).

"A bit aggressive."

submission: Choclotronics 3

Its all a bit in your face and full on for an ambient track, in my opinion, especially the solo part. Doesn't inspire relaxation.
That said, there are parts (about 85%) of the lead guitar that are very nice. And as has been said, the delay is used very well. Lovely tone too :).
But theres a bit that seem a bit out of place and seems to have no purpose what so ever. It like a two note affair somewhere in there :P. It sounds ugly and brings it down.
The bass is awfully monotonous too.

But it does sound nice :).

Author's Response:

Thanks. I see what you mean, it's pretty messy for ambient. The "lovely tone" was obtained with a 12watt Washburn amp and a $30 distortion pedal :D so thanks!

When I get a decent delay pedal (or just a delay pedal), I'll make more of these and hopefully they'll sound like I have an idea of what I'm doing.
