More on melodies than loudness. Still, I personally think this track is fucking boss, and you should too.

Needs a more fuller feel

~~REVIEW~~
This was abit rock sounding but thats ok because thats the style i like but it was still not quite there but can feel it was almost there, seems like you pushed more of the solo side, and kinda left the rest kinda blah, so thats something to work on for the next one or something with this give it a more full feel, besides that it was pretty good stuff i thought, so keep up the good work and cant wait to hear some more of your newer stuff soon, untill then good luck, on whatever you have been working on.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
So as explained uptop it lacked a more full feel and yougave it more of a solo feel so thats something that i can see improving on.

it's an instrumental piece?

Some vocals would be cool

I think this song needs some vocals. The guitars get a bit repetitive towards the end so I think the addition of vocals would add some diversity into the song.

I also think the rhythm guitar could be a bit louder. It plays some cool riffs, but they are very hard to make out.

However, I like small interludes (we can her it the first time at 1:17). The drums here sound good and the riff played there is very catchy. Reminds me of some other song, but the name slips my mind at the moment.

Overall the song is nice, but it needs some more work. I also had to think some time about the rating. At first I wanted to give you 7 out of 10, but then I felt it would be too low, but 8 out of 10 felt a bit too high... but since I can't give out half stars I decided to give you 8 stars since I think the song is closer to 8 stars than it is to 7. ^^

There. Hope it's better, thanks for the feedback!

Not really metal

More like General Rock, but this piece does seem to be a little on the repetitive side - the loops of the guitar are repeated over and over too many times, without enough variation in them, while it is quite obvious to the casual listener that this is a CG solo, as opposed to a "real deal", when it comes to the sounds that are being created.

With this as you have it, you need to get some more work in the rest of the tune and give us more of a composed piece. Lyrics would help, but this piece goes a long way to prove that a proper sound from a band cannot be recreated by computers.

Sawdust responds:

Yeah, pretty obviously artificial.

But thanks anyway.

It's good.

Overall I thought it was good, structured really well and something I'd be able to listen to. I can also hear this being played by a live band :).

Overall melody (guitar and bass) were good through out, apart from where I heard a few off notes (maybe it's me), from 2:00 to 2:10. 9/10 there.

The Rhythm section to me seemed to lack umph, and though the riffs were pretty good, it just seemed to be a bit too far back in the mix for my liking and that sort of spoiled it.

Putting all that into perspective, I liked it and it was a good attempt - just a few little tweaks and you have it :)

Sawdust responds:

Thanks a lot man!

Nice

As a good Heavy metal song should be, it has a nice, awesome and powerful riff...

It's a nice kind of music, meatal is my second fav kind, it's only behind rock n roll...

The music is nice, the guitar works perfectly w/ the drums, it fits so nicely, and then the solo apears, it's a mindblowing solo, it's power and strong, congrats, you made a really Metal song, i loved it!!!

Keep it up!!!
