Reviews for "Lights of Darkness"

WHAT

This is quite extraordinary! Haven't heard anything of this quality on Newgrounds in a long time.

Really thick layer of guitar. What kinda rack/software are you using? Fantastic dramatic chord progression and orchestral backing makes it sound like some of the best stuff from Dream Theather. The strings stand a little too much back though I think, would love to hear it more up front.

I don't think guitar/bass/drums/strings are enough to do this song justice though. Would you be able to make stems of this song? I would so much love to make a little alternate version of it.

mr-vincent responds:

Hahahaha thank for the review !! I'm only using a Line 6 Toneport UX-2 (Cost $300).. I take cubase as master recording and I put Reason as rewired device in cubase... It only took 7h to do my song :p

As you can see, my english is bad, when you sayed "Would you be able to make stems of this song?" I don't understand what you mean... What is "stems" ?

Sick.

This is in the top 3 of things I've heard. Ever. I need to know, what did you use for orchestra and drums?

mr-vincent responds:

I used Reason 4.0 to make everything that is not guitars

Fantastic!

I like the song a lot. The quality is great and so is the mastering. The mastering really has really impressed me :3

Everything fits just great, the variety of instruments, the fantastic melody. It's impossible to get bored while listening to this song, I mean it's so great.

This work is just a gem, keep up the good work!

mr-vincent responds:

Thanks MrSaint ... But... i didn't do any mastering :p I've concentrated my 8 hours working on rifts and melodys

Fantastic

The whole thing had a very dark, melancholy, forsaken, yet angry and bitter feel to it. The keyboard was perfect. I don't know if the drums were programmed or not, but, they sound very natural. I don't know if I'd have the opening bit cycle back after the dark part, but, it doesn't affect the quality of the song in any way. It's very good [My favourite bands are Novembers Doom and My Dying Bride; This doesn't disappoint me!] [[Also, I only know one thing in French, but, I don't think "Je suis le président du Burundi" really applies here...]]

mr-vincent responds:

Hahahah thanks :) I liked November Doom, but, this is a bit more violent that what I play :p

And i'm impress, in my head, the drum is shit, but... People have difficulty to find if it is a real or not, It it not real drum, I used Reason 4.0 to make it :)

Happy that you enjoyed :)

Rockin!

This was one sick track you made,i loved the black metal style and i was impressed with it staying consistently good for nearly five minutes and the quality was fantastic along with amazing guitar play,overall this track was really rockin and you did an excellent job on it.

mr-vincent responds:

Thanks !!!!! I was inspired by Dimmu Borgir a bit
