Reviews for Pints for the Fallen

[Derdude]

Alrighty.

I've listened to all your stuff, many times. THere's only one thing that bothers me a little.

I'll say this. You're instumental work, it's amazing.
The way all the instruments work together and such, it's almost orgasmic.
The only thing that bothers me are the vocals. It's not the type, it's the fact they're just a bit too heavy for this kind of music.
I personally like your vocal style, but in my honest opinion, it would fit better with something heavier.

But otherwise, I still love your stuff. Keep them coming, and good luck getting publicized!

Try listening to some of the bands we are influenced by and maybe you'll get a better understanding of what we are kinda going for. Turisas, Ensiferum, Haggard, etc.

Death Ballad

In my mind I see explosions all over the place, and a crippled man struggling through, he starts getting chased, he picks up speed, aims his gun, and rains hell down on the murderers of his fallen comrades. He pours his mind and thought into those shots, time slows down, a bullet flies for his face seemingly flying through honey, he snatches it out of the air and throws it back at the enemy ranks. He's got it coming, he gets knocked out... he has a strange dream, he's visited by a spirit, he wakes up surrounded by soldiers about to shoot him, he ducks and whirls doing a punch and killing them all, he ducks into a trench, firing madly at the rocket-missile heading for him. Time slows down again, he jumps right as it's over him, it flips and heads back towards the enemy tanks, he jumps off in a backflip 180 whirl.

Great song!!!

Woo

This is a great break from the ordinary and mixes a brilliant heavy sound with driving emotion as well. Keep it up!

Great

First time in hearing your band and must say I am impressed greatly I mean you sound very professional and your song just shows that, you could easily be mistaken for someone like Iron Maiden or something like that. The piano in this song was beautiful but in my opinion the ''hey'' vocals or whatever you was saying doesnt really do much, also I loved the guitar and I loved the screammo type vocals and the piano I will add this song to my favorites and give this song a 5 / 5 .
I think you did a really good job.
Keep em comin n good work

Great Musicianship

The technical prowess and writing skill is there. The only thing missing is better mixing, which you've already said you're going to redo. BASS IT UP, BROTHA! Any metal worth it's salt has enough bass to drive your eardrums into your brain. Awesome instruments, awesome vocals (Male and Female), awesome arrangement. Just all around wickedness.

The heavy parts of the song communicate the masculinity of the warriors honoring their comrades very well, while the female-sung, airy interludes show a more spiritual, reflective side as the living remember their fallen comrades. A perfect balance is struck between the two. The dose of folk thrown in gives the song that celebratory, honorary feeling and conjures images of large bearded men clashing their mugs of beer together in drunken revelry.

I very much like the male vocals, which are rough and heavy, but still human sounding as well as the female vocals, which are simply beautiful.

Nice work.

Wow. I think this is the first indepth review we've gotten about our songs. Thank you so much. We are in the process of getting all five tracks remixed and fine tuned. Hopefully the won't sound like such shit any more. We are also going to be in the studio soon to get three of four new tracks recorded, which will be up shortly after recieving them. So all in all I'm glad you enjoyed it and I suggest keeping tabs on me for any new or better material to come. Thanks for the review!
