Awesome.
This is a great song. The gritty percussion sounds really nice. This song reminds me of some of Helix 6's stuff. You familiar with his work? If not, check it out. The violin was pretty cool too. I wish you put that in most of the song. Lol, I'm running out of things to say but my review feels lame compared to Karco. My favorite part was the drums(?) at 3:36. Great Job!

thank you! :D yes ofcource i know helix, but i wouldt place this in the same category really. i still see what you mean tho :) i figured i wouldnt overdo the violin since i diddnt really have anything else but that melody to use it with ;D thank you for the review :D and dont worry about the length! if its too long i will only end up feeling i have to give a similar response ;P
Aww...
Just a little bit sooner and you just might have made weekly top 5 with this. :D Oh well, it's been a while since I've reviewed your stuff anyway, let's see what you've got.
First thing that comes to mind are those clashing notes I hear starting in the first minute or so of the song, mainly in the piano - I can understand you're trying to get across that dark, mean, feeling, but using dissonance like that could hurt your song more than it would help it. It's a playing-with-fire sort of thing... be careful. ;) Thankfully, in this case, they don't hurt the song at all - I love the atmosphere they pull off! :) Your piano sample is also very well-chosen, I'm jealous. >:)
Your Slayer guitars are well-disguised to the point I'm a little bit unsure whether or not they're Slayer, though my common sense screams out "SLAYER!!1" because I'd know that sound anywhere. :P Great job with that. The melodies/harmonies they play are great, too. Maybe you could have boosted the treble frequencies a bit more, though, so they're a bit louder and more easily audible without muddying the lower end?
Your drums are great, though a little bit distorted and gritty for my taste in music speaking. Maybe that's come from listening to too much trance, eh? :P But, my taste in music aside, they're very well-done. Nice job.
Interesting ending with the violin, and those alien-like sound effects - it probably would have been better if you had faded out those alien effects sooner, though. It's just over 20 seconds of them at the end, slowly fading out... wouldn't you consider that overkill? Oh, well... :P 5/5, and 9/10, great work with this! :D
One other thing - care to stop by my page sometime? A review for my latest would be appreciated, I was trying a new style and would appreciate the feedback. ;) Thanks a lot, and keep up the good work! ;D
does that make me a proffesional pyrotechnic then? :3 lul.
thanks for taking the time to write such a long review! :] youre dam right, its slayer ;D its hard to not get the slayer sound from slayer really, lol. i did use it in trainstation as main synth tho o.O heh, but usually its hard. ;P i agree about that, they could be alittle bit louder, and theres still alot that could be fixed on this. but i made this on my old comuter, and if you own FL and have made a transfer before you know aswell as i do that all the sounds are missing. and you have to dig them all up again, and fix them up like they were. sometimes they even get fucked up, so it was hard getting back the feel it had :(
about the end, i dont really see it as an overkill, i figured it would be a intresting aftermath for such an intense song. but thats just me :P you might be right. ill stop by when i have the time :D altho im not to good at leaving reviews, ill try, since its you ;D well, as they say in the uk; cheers!
