My submission for the finals of this years NGUAC

Hope you enjoy listening!

Lyrics

The preparations have led me here and my intentions are pugilistic

So give it to me

I relish it

I'm gonna take you on and I'm gonna win

It's not enough to make me bleed

I wanna soar through war-torn fields

So see the breath and see the bone

Lose yourself and die alone

Unless you've got another plan for me

I'm all ears

The crash is landing

The feet are slamming

The skulls are cracking open and the blood is flowing

Appetites are running high

No-one seems to care or even wonder why

Oh my friends can't we all just get along?

It's not enough to make me bleed

I wanna soar through war-torn fields

So see the breath and see the bone

Lose yourself and die alone

Unless you've got another plan for me

I'm all ears

(See the breath and see the bone

See the world and dream of home

Lose your conscience in the smoke

Smell the death and die alone)

I love everything about this song! the main riff is so powerful and your voice sounds a lot like old Korn stuff , 10/10

Mischa-head responds:

Thank you so much! That's cool, I've only listened to a bit of Korn but they're awesome.

There is so much I love about this. Those harmonies in the chorus are too good. Proggy melodies, groovy rhythm guitar, and haunting ambience on top. Great stuff.

I like the edgy guitar riff at the beginning - that glissando on the high note is especially nice. The vocals are soulful and powerful, but also a bit dry in the mix - some more reverb and other effects might help give them a bit more presence and help with the blending on the different vocal layers. I was a little thrown off that the vocals seem to be so much more up-front in the texture during some of the verses than they are at the chorus (compare :55 and 1:33, for example). The drums could also use more presence in the mix at times. The lyrics themselves are really good - love the dark and cryptic feel of the piece in general. The passion in the vocals at 1:33 was especially nice, though. Love the conversational tone they have too. The short-lived breakdown/hook combo at 2:07 was another highlight - that struck me as a really creative way of speeding up the pacing on an otherwise pretty traditional arrangement. The solo at 3:01 is awesome, as is the spacey riff at 3:36. Overall, there’s a lot to like here, Mischa. All of my complaints are minor, but as always you’re doing some major shredding on this track, with some heartfelt vocals and a nice progression to boot. It’s been a pleasure having you in the NGUAC this year! ^_^
