Reviews for "Stages of Death"

Not a hellish feel

Not a big fan of the dissonant notes in the synth, the pads sounded good. It doesn't feel like one track because of the transitions. And as you said it didn't loop good.
It got real repititive too. so,.... Good job though.

It was never made to loop. xD Thanks for the review

Ok I Guess..

In my opinion the meaning behind the song, what its supposed to envision is not shown that well by the song itself. Personally i didnt find the piece that interesting but its a good try. The changes need to flow better otherwise it doesnt sound like a complete track. More like several clips played at different levels.

It doenst loop at all which is good i suppsoe but the end to the track is too abrupt. It just stops, maybe a fade out or something. Anyway it was ok, The tune did remind me of fantasy worlds and stuff a bit. Not heaven and hell. Sorry!

TheReno responds:

Thats why I said it doesnt loop xD

So it does not loop...

An interesting piece, which thankfully I haven't had to review when I've been around at my girlfriend's

The extremes of the sides of this metaphorical coin aren't apparent here. I would not have guessed that you were aiming for Purgatory, Heaven and Hell with this piece at all. Heaven doesn't sound happy enough, and Hell does not sound as if it is that bad... Might have to take a holiday there next year.

As things go, I would consider adding more harps and woodwind to the ballad of Heaven and much more bass and percussion to Hell - these tend to signify strongly the divide.

TheReno responds:

Well, I was going for a more passive feel to it. Not strong, just mellow. Thats why its not all that strong.

not very hellish

i definitly got what you were going for with the decension nice instrementals. but it needs stronger transitions so the sound of hell is a bit more of a noticible diffrence from the rest of the song, but geat idea with changing the frequencies instead of c]the instrements and makig it basicliy a diffrent song. it just needs to be more gradual at the same rate through out the ehtire song instead of flat quick transition flat then.. well you get the point.

TheReno responds:

Seems to be a general concensus that I need smoother transitions xD. Thanks man.

\m/

I like the idea of this song, even though I was not able to see the gates of hell before my inner eye, but heaven... yes, I think I can imagine that while listening to the song.
For a more "hellish" feeling the song needs to be more intense in the hell stage, I think. Maybe even add a few disharmonics here with some high pitched sounds, representing some screaming souls.

TheReno responds:

Thanks. I was just trying to go for a passive agressive feel. But I see where it would help to have some harder chords and a darker mood for hell.
