Earth-moving drums

Those drums sound real good, especially the bass drum! I'm so particular on metal bass drum and that is the PERFECT sound for them. Oh man people are gettin onto you for you getting off tempo but you did better than my recording. Yea its a bit of a jam-a-round but it still rules. Try some higher pinch harmonics just move closer to the bridge.

Nice but needs work!

Your drums? Or did Bad_Man lay a hand here? ;D I guess those are drums by my old fart. haha. If not, good work on them, nice overall tone.

Sadly, the guitar tone didn't satisfied me. Very blurry to say at least. Give your guitar a little more compression do get it pumped up. Also, double the guitar layers for a thicker sound and don't forget to start EQ'ing your shit asap. You'll hear the difference. The riffs were pretty simple, though, they made their job.

Practice a little bit more on the solo, since it sounded more like a jam around then a structured solo to slap someone with. ;D

The structure of the tune was good and for your first real one it came out great.

Keep it up! :D

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 4 for Fallen Shadows, lowering its score from 4.25 to 4.20.

ya i did the drums and the main reason the guitar sounded bad is because i have a $1 mic. once i get a good mic i'll make some good quality songs
thx for the review i'll take these pointers into mind

Awesome man

Drums sounded excellent. Guitar tone was pretty sweet. Few points where you were off tempo..but nothing serious.
I haven't had the chance to play with those drums yet...but What the hell you need me for, anyways??hahaha. Awesome shit, bro.\m/

darkskoot responds:

thx man.
and finish with those drums!!!

Hahah great man

I love this dude. Its pretty sweet. Dont listen to that pepoke dude about the guitar distortion thing. I play with distortion all the way up and its the only way hahaha. I love the little pinch harmonics. Need to be a little more squealier haha.

Very nice structure though, sort of reminds me of a blacklabelsociety/blacksabbath type deal. The solo needs a little more work.

Im 15 too haha. So its all good.

I love the simple riff at the beggining too it rules.

Review my song some time its called jormungadd. my old ones blow hehehe.

darkskoot responds:

lol thx for the review! and ya FULL DISTORTION! and i could think of a solo so i started to hit random notes

Very nice

I like the concept of this one. when you repeat the main riff/chorus, maybe add a solo?
Also never play with the distortion all the way up...even if you are playing metal. And if you didnt, thumbsup to you.

Otherwise, its a very good song. Keep it up!

darkskoot responds:

thx for the review and i'll turn the distortion donw next time :P
and the main reason i didn't put a real solo in it is becuase i'm only 15 and not the best at guitar
i'll take these pointers into mind thx for the review
