Reviews for "Stages of Death"

\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.

Interesting idea

I did kind sort of feel throughout the piece a sort of descension from heaven to purgatory, but I don't think hell was quite intense enough. It might've worked better if you made piece longer though and even more gradual, then near the hell stage your really increase the rate of change to create the sensation of literally being dragged into the depth of hell. I'm not sure what those little plucking sounds are supposed to represent, but if they are seeds of corruption, one good idea to top them off is for the hell stage, actually make the chord that you use enharmonic with them so as to symbolize their full fruition. But still, really interesting idea, and you do pull it off interestingly with only limited resources. Nice job.

TheReno responds:

Thanks. Im glad that you like it. As to the musical notes you hear. They are just further rep of the stage you are in. This was really my first time doing some of the things I did, so Im glad it worked out. The next song I make will be done with the same style and idea, from light to dark, but it will be much more gradual, 5 or six stages, easier transitions, and more insturments to boot.

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.

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.

TheReno responds:

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

Soft

Well the ending is something that gets me, it just seems to be very sudden like it just cuts off, you might want to fade it out or something like that, just so it's not as sudden, would seem much better if you did, in my opinion anyway. But aside from that, the main tune seems to be very soft and calm, though a little too quiet in a way. Not a bad sound overall, but seems to lack a lot of veriation.

I do like calm tunes personally, so parts of this do seem to be good, though there are some parts where you have a kind of muffled sound over the beats, which seems to be kind of annoying. The main thing I would suggest improving is the ending though, but otherwise pretty nice.

3/5
