I would like to thank Bad-Man-Incorporated for recommending TwilightNecrosis for vocal duties and for listening to my early mixes.

And I would also like to thank TwilightNecrosis for his time and his brutal vocals.

(Also..Since I'm not as good as Chuck Schuldiner and Rick Rozz I had to improvise the solo's.)

"good"

Only an 8 out 10 cos it was lacking in skill, more like 00's death metal then the death metal of the 80's. Nice try but try to do again when you get better at guitar and have someone to do vocals better. He's doing vocals from the diaphragm it sounds like and that is not how you get Chuck's sound.

Lacking in skill?I don't really understand.Is it because of the solos?I have read your post multiple times and the word skill is pretty vague.You are not describing how my 'skill' is lacking.I don't care though.

As far as vocals go, I think you missed the word ''Cover'' when you clicked on this link.A ''Cover'' is a bands / musicians own interpretation of a song.Thus, there is no right or wrong way to do vocals,solo ETC.This is not a tribute.

Thanks for the review.

"Great!"

Death are possibly one of my favourite bands ever. My only gripe would be the nriff after the first chorus is played a bit wrong. There like a second half to it that i didnt hear.

Ah..The riff at the 32 second mark?

Yeah, I know.I was supposed to tremolo pick that part.I was learning the song as I was recording it and I never got that riff right.I sorta know how to correctly play it now.Its quite a weird tremolo picking riff that's for sure.

Hopefully with my new Death cover that's coming out soon, I won't fuck up as much. lol

Thanks for the review!

"Flawless cover"

by: Soapbubble

===============
Score: 10 / 10
Summary: Flawless cover
Review: This is a great cover.

Few people on NG pull of this kind of singing technique, and they usually force it way too much, but this sounded great, you really pulled it off. I think the EQ was done well, nothing overpowers anything here.

Instruments, flawless. Really, I can't find anything I didn't like. Great drums, great guitar, just great. I haven't heard the original, but the instruments were played well, and it was mixed well, and... Wow.

I agree with you about the growling/vox.I think Twilight pulls it off nicely.And I do appreciate your compliments on my EQ'ing.For the most part, I don't really know what I'm doing.lol.

Thanks for the review.

"Cool"

Although the vocals may not to be my taste, I can appreciate the skill needed to pull them off. While I would have made the vocals slightly louder compared to the rest of the track, at least I can understand them, which is my usual complaint with songs like this.

As for the instrumentals - I LIKED them! While I haven't heard the original to compare this with, I really like what you have done with it. I can't really find fault listening to this piece alone and even if I were to compare it with the original, I think most of the fun of doing a cover is putting your own spin on something so I would probably still like this.

Good stuff.

I guess you're not the only one who thought the vocals should be louder.I'll be sure to make them louder and upload a new version later on.

And you are right, the most fun that came from this was improvising the solos.I had to get into the mindset of two different guitarists.It was a cool experience.And on top of that, this cover helped me become better at doing leads.

Thanks for the review Coop!

"Vocals need improving.."

by: Insanimation

date: August 29, 2009

I have only one complaint, and that is the vocals. In a song like this, you need the vocals to impose themselves a bit more, as right now they just seem to fade away into obscurity.. I'm not quite sure if this because the TwilightNecrosis didn't do a good job or if the vocal track isn't loud enough..Either way, something isn't right...

Other than that, top marks. The instruments were all fantastic, especially the solos. There's nothing else I can say about them, great work.
