Always sad when a site shuts down...

What sort of site was it? I'm guessing the wolves have something to do with it...

A lonely feel is what I'm getting, though it becomes quite defiant and powerful once the timpani comes in... then there's the section that begins at around 1:46, at which point the song becomes a lot darker, angry, even. This song changes quite a bit... hmm. I don't quite like the note the song ends on - I see a trend... you seem to end abruptly on many of your songs. Now that I think about it, I can't believe it took me this long... XD But work on those endings! ;)

Another thing - maybe it's my headphones, maybe it's Newgrounds - I wouldn't be surprised if it was, actually - but I hear clipping in the beginning and end (it could possibly be in other places but I can't find it) of the song, and it seems to be on the part of the wolf sounds. I see down there that you just googled for them - ha, you're pretty lucky to find such good ones for free and with google but you can't forget sound quality when choosing them. ;) Aah, I'm hearing it with the choir - while it's hard to hear at first, the distortion gives itself away around 1:09-ish, or something like that. And I'm pretty sure you didn't google those samples... don't tell me you're getting lazy with the sound quality, now! XD

I'm not so sure about that flutelike instrument... It starts around the two-minute mark and it seems it was just "dropped on there" for the medieval sort of feeling. That spot could have gone to another instrument for adding to the dark feeling, which would have definitely worked out better, I think...

Hah! I just saw the timer go to 1:60. XD Ha, it goes to 0:60, too. Sometimes the redesign glitches are just... too funny. XD

I suppose nothing's left to add to the song except a nice story... >:) I'm on time constraints so it won't be too long but I'll try.

The sun sets on the far side of the mountain... a group of hikers climb it slowly, tired out from the hard work of a long, long day. They're not too far up - they're essentially in a slanted forest. Trees are plentiful where they are, as is wildlife, and there's no snow. They hear the wolves howling off in the distance but think nothing of it.

It's dark now. A campfire is made and sleeping bags are put out, tents are lifted. But in the middle of this hard work, a forceful gale begins to blow - the fire disappears and tents are blown away. Even the stars and moon seem to have been snuffed out.

One of the campers stands up and looks around. His friends are still there. He hears a wolf howl, and turns - to see one of his friends replaced by darkness. Wolves howl again and he turns to see two more have disappeared. He fumbles for a flashlight, a lighter, a match, just ANY source of light - but finds none. Fear grips him and he starts turning in circles, seeing now nothing but darkness.

A wolf strikes the camper, jumping onto him. He fights back but is quickly knocked out... and, unfortunately, killed.

The wolf howls.

Another great song, I enjoyed it! Hope you enjoy the review, and the story, as always... :) I recently uploaded a song that my friend and I collabed on while I taught him the basics of FL Studio, how about you stop by my page, give it a listen sometime? Much appreciated... and keep up the great work! :)

Hello Karco!

Sorry for my late response! The endings of my songs ARE abrupt, often. I do this mostly because I hate fade outs, and really I find if I don't make it abrupt they tend to drag on and on. But you're right, this is a flaw, and I should find a way through it.

The site was called rpg wolfpack, hence the reason for the wolves.

The song was also designed to be as RPG'ish as possible, which is why the flute part is up for debate by many, I thought it would be more RPG like to put them in there. I might have been wrong.

The song picks up, as it was my way of showing our strength. We have disbanded, but we have not weakened. We have taken many skills over the years, and taken up many crafts, and armed with these we walked away, true Wolves in heart, and a promise to always prosper.

The song was meant to be much much longer, but due to external project deadlines, had to be cut down.

In regards to the story, I loved it >:}. Those poor campers didn't see it coming, and I could visualize it quite well! I will go check out that friends piece right away!

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm sorry for the late response!

Whats up dude

Looks like you did it again

MaestroRage responds:

I aim to please :D! Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

Nice song. As always evokes a bit of a story...

I'm just curious though, what site was it...?

MaestroRage responds:

it was called www.rpgwolfpack.com, it now leads to another site *at least for a bit longer, it may not at this point*.

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

A story

The howls are the howls from the wolves that were killed in a hunt. These crude hunters see nothign but the money they can earn from the wolves meat and fur... Even though they still have more food than they need. The howl at 1:50 is the howl of a wolf calling the other wolves. The survivors run towards the city where the hunters came from and then savagely killing them like they killed their sons and daughters.

Whatever goes around, comes around again.

MaestroRage responds:

An excellent story. It is a shame that wolves are indeed hunted for no reason. Hopefully one day, I can help do something about it.

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

whew

whew, for a moment, I thought Symphony of Specters got shut down. You made me go and check :P. I didn't know you were one of the musicians from there o.o. This may be nerdy, but I have actually used this song as a Dungeon Master in one of my DnD games. I mentioned that I was playing it from "Symphony of Specters" but looks like I now found the real artist.

Bravo
