Black metal at it's best, in melodic!
Dude, sorry I never reviewed this before even though I was one of the first to hear it.
I like this style of black metal, you should really make more man!
Melodic to teh max!!!!

Author's Response:

thanks dude... I'm working on another black metal song... well a few... but lately I've been updating my songs on soundclick (it's so nice to be able to actually UPDATE shit!!!!!! I'm talking to YOU Wade.) so if you go to my profile and click that Vehemence Discordia you can check out newer versions of this song as well as 73 Vaginal Stab Wounds... that's where I'll probably be posting my shit from now on cause I can post songs up to 10MB there and the music charts they have there are not as gay, but I'll still put a crapped down version of any new shit I make on here so you peoples can review it... but the voting on this site is all fucked up, so fuck it.

"kick arse!"

Serioulsy I'm don't like those death metal vox. It's my personal opinion, but I like the instrumental composing for death metal.

But I review this song for another thing. Just wanted to check out another song from you but couldn't find only one on page 2. I thought wtf? Fucking 0 voters, always kicking the good stuff down.

Beware of my overall brutal 5's for all your stuff! Straight up!

Author's Response:

coo... what kind of vox DO you like? I'm always willing to experiment as long as it sounds good. Drop me an email sometimes or add me on MSN messenger.

Author's Response:

cool, thanks for the vote and awesome review... yeah, I don't really care bout those cocksuckers... there's really nothing I can do about it so I'm going to choose to not dwell on it. Anywho, about the song: I wrote this a long time ago like 2 years ago or something... but the quality was really bad cause I recorded it on a cheap Tascam 4 track tape recorder... so I decided to redo it. The lyrics were submitted into a poetry contest where they got me to be a semi-finalist... and they are published in some poetry compilation floating around somewhere out there. The drum track was made in BeatCraft using like 43 sepperate patterns... there really is not much repetition in the drums except in the more melodic parts where I felt that exessive drum fills would detract from the fluidity of it. Most of this was done using the 4/16 timing for the patterns so that I could have slightly late or slightly early strikes on the snare and cymbals to make an 'on top of each other' type sound you get from hitting the same drum with both sticks. There is a lot of work done on the cymbals too. I suppose there might not be anouth bass in the drums but that is for 2 reasons... the type of black metal I was going for in this is not a high production quality sound... it's more of a droning jarring yet melodic sound... and also I have crappy speakers and bass makes them rattle so I tend to cut a lot of it out, assuming that it will sound as shitty on everyone's speakers as it does on mine. So, that's it, thanks for checking it out.

Pretty fuckin' cool man.I have one gripe though and that is the drums sound really small.Other than that it really kicks ass.Guitar work sounds good and the vocals are pretty bitchin'.Overall a good job just work on the drums.

Oh yeah I'm going to add you on msn messenger if that's ok with you.

Author's Response:

cool, thanks for the review... and yeah add me and say 'hiya' sometime...

Lyrics:

Harvester of bones
Till your soiled crop
Sown in blood-soaked earth
Or burned in fiery hearth

Ashes to ashes
Eye for an eye
A token to the boat man
Paid to cross the crimson tide

Reaper of souls
Rats of the plague
Leader of flies
Free me from this poisoned life

Reaper of souls
Cross the sea
Of blood and tears
Bring your scythe to me

Lost

Soul

Blackness come forth
Swalloing whole
In infinite folds
Embraced

Ashes to ashes
Eye for an eye
A token for the boat man
Paid to cross the crimson tide
