This is a song I came up with during the summer, and recorded it until the very last day of summer before I went back to school. I stopped working on it last month to take a break from it, and recently I did the finishing touches. Although this whole thing was a long process, it's finally done.

All instruments (guitars, bass, keys, drums) played and recorded by me. Vocals... I dunno. If someone wants to do them... go for it?

Due to exporting problems, the mix is a little quieter than I intended. So turn them speakers up!

Enjoy! Leave constructive reviews, etc. :)

Distortion, orchestra, metal, and awesomeness

Hey Twone,

--Production--
Considering it's all recorded, I have nothing to say about this except that it is all well played up to 2:00. The drums from 2:00-2:10 go a bit too much on the snare in my opinion. I like when it cuts out from the noise and goes back in. It's all very tasteful, and especially since I don't usually like Heavy Metal I'ma give you special brownie points :)

--Listenability--
As I said, I really do not like listening to Heavy Metal music, but I like this. I think it's because it has an actual melody to it and it goes somewhere. The chord progressions are wonderful.

--Genius--
As SeeD has elaborated, you have put much effort into this to make it as awesome as possible. The instrumentation at the beginning was pretty stink, but it came right after the guitar and drums came in.

--Flair--
This is very unique and nice. It has a memorable motif and mood which I will remember. The epicness of your piece allows the 7 1/2 minutes to pass quickly, and you don't get bored.

--Tilt--
At first I was skeptical, but now I am won. For a heavy metal song, this is one of the best. The recording quality is not supreme, but it does the job. I give you full credit for awesomeness. Well done. Thanks for letting me listen

--Production-- = 9/10
--Listenability-- = 9/10
--Genius-- = 10/10
--Flair-- = 10/10
--Tilt-- = 8/10
Overall Score: 9.2/10
Rounded Score: 9/10

VERDICT: Near Perfect!

Ugh

Whoever decided that the backspace key should be a hotkey for "back" in the browser should be killed. Gotta retype my review :(

The song sounds like it could use a bit better EQing, but other than that it musically worked very well.

As far as effort goes though, your effort is certainly noted. It obviously shows that you put a lot of time into this and I think the end product is rather good.

I can see a few points in the song where it didn't really flow as well as I would have wished it did, and also a few parts where it just seemed like treble overkill and wasn't really pleasant to listen to.

I think you could clean it up a bit with some more mixing and it would be a lot better, either that or invest in some better recording equipment.

Overall it's an alright song though.

I recently got Protools so future works can be edited more cleanly. I've noticed comments about flow of the song, so that's going to be noted for future works.

Thanks so much!

Sounds good

If you want me to do vocals then give me the lyrics and I can try my best with them that I can. The keyboard sounds dark yet beautiful and reminds me a bit of Final Fantasy III which was a fun game. They also slightly remind of Kefka who is very weird as well. The keyboard then takes on a really fast and dark pace which is cool.

The bass sounds very relaxing as well. It just sounds like you were relaxed while playing it as well. The bass is just relaxing overall.

The guitar riff sounds very nice and heavy which I like a lot. Good work on a good riff made via the guitar. The guitar riff kind of sounds like hope during a boss battle and the player is about to either win or lose it all.

The drums sound really cool. The drum beat reminds me a lot of Avenged Sevenfold which tends to be a good band with good songs.

Overall, wicked beat you have going on here. Good work on it.

I wrote one line for lyrics... but you're not getting far with that. :P

The drums are REALLY hard to get a good sound out of, considering the lack of mics I have and the crappy room it's recorded in. I tried my best, and it came out favorable I guess.

Thank you so much! :D

AWESOME.

Man, I really feel the epicness of this song... I loved the darkness it has, the keyboard ia awesome, the bass is great, the drums are in perfect harmony with the rest of the instruments and the guitar was really fucking awesome. You did a mindblowing job here, the whole song is a masterpiece, it remembers me all the Metallica's songs, they're long and have a great touch of epicness.

The keyboards gave the kind of dark and epic feel to this song, they fitted perfectly to the guitar sound, wich was awesome, I loved he solo, and the power chords (correct me if I'm wrong) were awesome as a riff. The drums were calm at the right times and aggressive at the wright times... I loved the guitar sound in the solos, they're greatly well done, I think it's a great composition.

Seriously, it's one of the bests songs I've ever heard in NG... I just think some transitions could have been done better and the quality wasn't great, due to the song's size... MAn, it's so good that I think you should talk with a famous label, like Universal or that other shit, I think you'd be very succesfull!!

Keep it up dude. This was a great masterpiece, during all the time I've been in the RRC, I've never seen such a brilliant song like this one... Man, you rock!! \m/

I try my best to get a good bass sound- I love the bass! And I think the keyboard organ sound is the darkness that this song really needed. And I'm going to get an internship in a recording studio from school (it's a requirement believe it or not), so that'll help me a lot.

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it!
