As I've written to other users in this contest, writing more about your creative process and how the art inspired you will only help us judge the tracks better. At the very least, writing a few key sentences or a poem will guilt us into assuming there was an honest attempt. I've played drums in one or two bands with this kind of post-hardcore/grindcore energy and it hurts to take points off "relevancy to artwork" because I can't really picture the connection at all. I wrote reviews for everyone in this contest and I almost always managed to write more about the music than the artists did which isn't fair for me. You can't expect that your music will always speak for itself. Sometimes you need to share your goals or aspirations to help others bridge the gaps. Newgrounds is a community of like-minded renegades and creative misfits. We love to inspire each other and learn from one another. Don't be afraid to give us a piece of your mind Mr. Banana.

Language barriers exist, I noticed you are Brazilian. There's actually a huge Latin American population on Newgrounds at the moment. I'm seeing Spanish more and more often, me encanto. Though I don't use it often, I love seeing Español and challenging myself to understand it better. Google translate isn't always perfect but it's a decent tool to help us better understand one another. Don't be afraid to drop words in whatever language you need to convey your ideas. How did this music relate to the art in your own words or language? Hit us with your feelings.

Another user that submitted a similar production style was "Yoshiii343," go listen to his work because you two have a similar recording sound quality. I listen to bands like Archspire, Dillinger Escape Plan, Animals As Leaders, Mushugga, Chimp Spanner, or Chon. There is a sound quality you lack and those artists are a great example of that maximum thrash energy while still composing a perfect mix quality. You're musical ideas are wonderful but nailing fidelity techniques will help you deliver a more powerful sound.

Music is a huge part of my life and I love giving people the time out of my own life to try and inspire others to be the best that they can be. I really love this sound and energy but work to master your production quality and become the most powerful version of yourself that you can be! You can be so powerful! SO MUCH POWER D:

Salud y buenos días mi amigo :3

Thanks so much for your review! I actually agree with your point of giving a little insight on how i came up with the song, i just never created the habit to do it on the songs i post here, i usually just say what sub genre of metal the song is and thats it for a description.
What i can say about this song is that in the instant i saw the artwork i immediately thought ''oh hey, Voivod-esque artwork, this is my stuff'' and i just had to make a Voivod style track to it. They're pretty much my favorite band with a unique sound and a unique artwork made by the drummer, i thought the sci-fi aspect of the artwork i based the song on would fit the sci-fi weirdness of Voivod-esque riffs and thats pretty much all the thought i put into the composition. I dont usually put too much thought into music as... i dont know... i just never had that emotional and subjective attachment to art, my mind is very mechanical and objective. If you ask me what does an artwork means to me or what makes me feel you pretty much won't get an answer from me lol, so as much as i love being a musician and making music myself, i never put too much thought other than ''hey, these notes sound good together and i have the musical theory knowledge so i can make it sound a certain way''.

awesome recordings. compression hits nicer sometimes when you boost the high with a shelf, but dip with a bell curve at the harsh region ~3k. anyhow, i love the songs every time. the solo was killer. the ending was fun.

Very cool! You guys need to find a vocalist.

I love it!
