Haven't finished anything for some time because of school, but at least I got to make this. This is a symphonic metal remix of EliteFerrex's 8-bit Storm which can be found here:

Thanks goes to EliteFerrex for allowing me to remix his track.

"EPIC MAJESTY IS EPIC AND MAJESTIC"

by: ZaronX

date: November 9, 2009

HOLY CRAP, MAN! 8C That guitar is really sample-based?! The whole mess sounds awesome. reminds me of Guilty Gear / BlazBlue's tunes (don' recall the guy's name, sadly), or even a bit Nightwish. All good points.

It is epic, it is power! I am in awe! :o

Believe it. =) It's really meant to be a symphonic metal piece, and you can thank EliteFerrex for the original melody...which was completely in 8-bit, mind you XD Thanks so much for the review, the 4 favs I saw and the fav on me!

"The Chorus"

by: JD14

date: October 6, 2009

That chorus sounded so freaking realistic. Was it real? I actually can't tell :P
Was it sample based? :o Maybe synthesized, but I doubt it.
At any rate, the ending was perfect for this kind of song. Nice and powerful.
The opening was nice and quiet but then when the drums kicked in, it sounded quite obviously ready to explode >:3
The whole rest of the song was obviously filled with tons of stuff I could individually go over reviewing, but, as I have said before, you totally know what you're doing, man.

The opening just had to be made that way; I couldn't think of any other way to start my symphonic metal remix of the original track. And...well...same with the ending XD

Would you believe me if I said everything I've ever made here on NG was sample-based AND synthesized yet it sounds like this? :)

Thanks for another review and the fav! Hope my next songs won't let you (and 66 others) down!

"overall good"

by: SorgensKammer

date: September 28, 2009

liked the guitars(s) and the drums were some of the best ive heard on a NG track before.
However just one complaint.
The piano in the beginning was far to high pitched.
For some reson i thouht this was the beginning of a ballad lol.
Overall i loved it though:D
(Loved the angelic chorus in the back, always a nice touch in a metal song)

The guitarss? :D j/k

I don't play drums at all, but still try hard to make them awesome based on the music I listen to (Wintersun, Dark Moor, Machinae Supremacy, Fairyland, etc.) and from a close friend of mine who's a drummer. I don't agree with the piano thing though, I like it where it is ^^; Ballad? Could've been, but hey, I did say this was symphonic metal didn't I? :)

Thanks for the review!

"Good, but not neccesarily Great."

by: McHeath

date: September 26, 2009

It was very well composed, but the sound just didn't feel too unique. Good job, but still, you have room to improve.

Author's Response:

Well, I appreciate all kinds of constructive criticism, thanks for that, but what would really help is if you help me find this "room to improve". Like, mention certain parts of the song that I should change. It would really help :)

Anyhow, thanks for listening, the review and the fav on this and two other works of mine!
