Came here from LL - Defend Hell

IM IN LOVE WITH IT

Awh man, that 'flange' effect. That was well cool!

Reminded me a lot of In Flames. I love the chuggy wuggy gallops. They got me super hyped up for the goodness to come.

Synth was great too. Quite eerie in some places and really added to the atmosphere.

Hope to see more from you in future!

Hello! Time for your review of a few points I think could be improved.

Points of goodness:
-Your intro and breakdown in the middle are great.
-The introduction to the guitar at 3:10 was wonderful, I really would have loved it turning into a full-on solo at that point. In fact, that would have been a great way to extend the length of the piece.
-Your overall mix is pretty darn solid.

Points of Improvement:
-The third chime note in your initial progression has some bad dissonance in it which is disruptive.
-I think you can put a better instrument in around 0:30 for a lead into the guitar.
-Phaser bit at 0:50 goes on for slightly too long imo.
-Snare mix is slightly too sharp, try to tone it back just a little bit. (though I appreciate that it's clear, most people fail miserably in metal)
-You don't really need the chimes in the background around 2:30, they seem to muddy the mix up and reduce the impact of the hits.
-This whole song could really use some countermelodies and more variation in the melodies when it's using it as the main theme - I'd love some more development in each section. The ideas have run out of their impact and run their course about a minute and a half before the end.

7.5/10

I like the atmosphere at the beginning. The bells have a few too many treble tones IMO - sounded a bit harsh in the higher register there. I like the sense of climax into :44. The filtering and panning at :48 was really interesting - cool transition there. That said, the pacing of this piece is really fast, with several stop-start transitory moments instead of phrasing and subtle instrumental changes. The melodic content here is enjoyable. I especially like the ones at 1:38. The mix is crisp and clear throughout. The breakdown at 2:38 worked well. I like the gradual sense of climax into 2:58. I suppose I would’ve liked to see you do a little more with the section at 3:44, especially since it’s repeated content and this is a fairly long piece. Perhaps some melodic development would help here. Overall, this is a really strong piece, though. I like the atmosphere and instrumentation a lot. Keep it up, NahuPyrope! :)
