Reviews for "Waking the Beast"

SCREAMING MELODIC METAL MACHINE!

Nice man. Crazy riffs and I have to agree with FarCryDX about your drums man. Perfect fit throughout the song. Great work, once again.

\m/ HAIL! \m/
10/10
5/5

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Sweet, my brother. Glad you diggity!\m/ Thanks for stopping by.

The drums

Are almost your signature, ahah. It's like Dimebags tone, a lot of people think it sounds bad, but true music efficianados know that its just different and it works for what it's used in :D Your drums fit your music so perfectly that they sound fucking delightful. Your guitar tone is also major badass here. Much fucking kudos man; I haven't been active long enough to say whether you've improved anything though, haha. Seems like you used more mids in your tone this song.. that's all I can recognize :P Sorry for the empty review, I couldnt find much to critique, it's EQd well, put together well.. It reminds me of Dynasty Warriors, if you know what that is. Haha. Nice.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks very much man. I've worked forever on getting the right sound for my drums. Its an ever tweaking thing. EZDrummer here, with a few of my own samples. Especially the kick. It would be even snappier, but then it just sounds bad. I really love the annoying kick that Kataklysm uses. haha.

Thanks for the awesome review, my friend. \m/

WAKING BADMAN'S BAD ASS TONES!

I still can't believe how far you've come along in sound! Your guitar sound has improved so much of just the past year even. The drums still sound good (though, they used to be a bit worse while you were trying out individual samples)
As for this song, your leads sound better than most of your other songs, and I can't quite point out why that might be.
The bass drum sound is very nice, punchy and clicky, the way it should be in metal.
The rhythm guitars sound like you spent a bit of time making them perfect, because they are.
I think the only thing about about this that I didn't quite like was the interlude's bass and guitar sound. The clean guitar sounded a little too loud in the mix, and the bass wasn't clear enough, or loud enough maybe. Everything else in this was awesome, all the mixing and mastering sounded fantastic other than that. Of course, that's just my personal nitpicking. XD
Sorry I haven't had much chance to sit and critiq your work in a while, but I am not gone :P

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thats ok man. It's fantastic to see you out and about. Glad you are diggin the stuff. This one was a 2008 song. My favorite tone is on my "breakdown" song. :D After I'm done with the collab with speedy...I'll bust out a new song with some brutal tones.

ANyways man, Its awesome to see you. Hope you come out with some new stuff...I need my angels fix.\m/

wow i missed a lot of your work!

this is really hard bad man! i like it a lot i did not nod but head banged to this i like the name its fitting! i might write some thing to it, its brutal!

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Rock on my friend. Fucking bring it!

Let's See...

Pretty tight man. I like the drop at 0:40.

You were right when you said it's a bit repetitive. But amazing nevertheless.

<3.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

The repetitive rives were supposed to be the "chorus" but a long one. haha. It just went too far. haha. Glad you dig it.
Thanks for the listen, AND review!\m/
