[Lost Worlds [Demo]]

Opeth?

That's the band I think of when I heard the first riff to the song. Then the second came in, and then it just threw me off. This is more or less a creepy, morbid song with atmosphere. It's good, the solo is good and everything. It's something I look forward to hearing more. The solo did have some messed parts, but I'm not sure if it was intentional.

METALSEATER responds:

Haha, I know there is a bit of screw ups hehe

I guess its a bit like Opeth, I like them very much

Thanks for the review man =)

[Nuklear Reaktor]

Insanely different

This itself embodies different. Nothing is cliche, if anything this is experimental avant-garde I really can't put a genre on it. The melodies are short but so catchy I'm tapping my foot, the samples and sirens work well. I'm liking this track.

9/10

Jimmypig responds:

thanks for taking the time to listen and review and im glad you enjoyed it ;D

[|-| Destruction |-|]

Not bad...not bad at all

This is definitely heavy metal, not poser shit. The guitars crush, drums are pretty good, but the only detractor from this wonderful piece is the sub-par production. It sounds muddy and everything is down in the mix. Fix that and it's a great short track with solid ideas and materials.

8/10

DarKsidE555 responds:

Indeed. You are right. Fuck...what the hell happened!? Oo

I tested this several times when I uploaded...but now I hear there are clips in...*sigh*...I really need to get a better mixer, the one I got suckzorz. >:(

My problem is that I can't get a good guitar signal out of my current mixer. It's just too weak for a "louder" line in signal. :/

Ah damn it!...Thanks for teh review anyways.

[Bludgeoned By Visceral Organs]

MIDI GRIND

This sounds completely unreal, why? Because it really is. The MIDI/Synth guitars aren't too bad despite, well, being synth/MIDI guitars. The drum programming is pretty good, and the vocals FUCKING KILL. Best vocals I've heard in a while. Nice and pig-like.

8/10

Drucigore responds:

Yeah, guitars do sound crap, I'm trying to rig my guitar up to my pc atm.
:)
Cheers

[Dead Like You]

More like it..

This is something I could get into. It's experimental, a plus, it's better than your newer work, it has atmosphere, it's dancable, and why not?
I like the bass work, it really provides a hidden groove. The track is great. The drums give it a great feel and everything is great. It adds some Mediterranean feel with the lute or whatever in the beginning. Great stuff.

9/10

newskies responds:

:D Thanks! This means a lot to me. I'll be sure to check ur stuff out!

[The Nomad]

This sounds familiar

That's right, it's the black metal part of our collab, which I'm afraid to submit now.

:P

Goatchrist responds:

Go ahead and submit it ;) it shouldn't be a problem :) thanks for the nice rating!

[*Lost Dream*]

Really got me going...

This is a work of art. The soft piano, showing how much you long for something really does get to me. It has that ability to set you up for crying. It has a moody feel to it, without any background atmosphere, the piano(s) themselves create a mood.

9/10

VGman2005 responds:

Wow...Thanks. I didn't expect it to be that heavy. Honestly the first thing that came into my mind was the Gohan death sequence in DBZ: History of Trunks.

[Metal Killer v2]

A great guitar tone

That tone that you use is quite amazing and definitely gives your guitar a video game feel. It reminds me off an old contra game, it's funny, I'm playing that right now. Seriously I like the almost 8-bit, MIDI feel to it. It gives off a great ambience and the licks at the beginning make it seem like a boss fight in Sonic the Hedgehog or something. Great atmosphere, guitar tone, skill, and all. Even if it's used with a keyboard, it still kills.

8.5/10

jor182 responds:

THANKS MAN!!! that means a lot to me... it took me a lot to made that licks, because i'm not to good at it... well, but thanks for the review!!!

[The Darkness Ends...]

LOVES IT

The drums in the beginning are insane and definitely great. The whole song gave off a great vibe, which reminds me a lot like my favorite band, the Melvins. The vocals, the guitar, the drums, everything about it is catchy, awesome, heavy, sludgy, and above all gives off a sense of organized chaos. The solo is pretty good, not technical but it fits the feel of the song.

9.5/10

Quickbeam responds:

Thanks for the review. Can't say I've ever heard of the Melvins though...

[Falling Towards Death]

This shrieks amazing

You've restored all my faith in modern death metal. The riffs just reek of awesome, the drumming actually riffs. Everything about this song is perfect, and of course vocals would work well with the song. The atmosphere is minimal but whatever's there is awesome.

10/10

AngelsDontKill responds:

Thank you very much man! I love a lot of different kinds of metal, and Death Metal is certainly one of them! I actually am thinking of re-recording this song and actually adding in a bass, which a friend just let me borrow. I also intend to have a friend add vocals to this, but it's likely to be a funny song rather than a serious one. This submition was mainly for anyone who was looking for something metal to throw into a flash. If anyone likes it, they are more than welcome to use it. But thanks again for listening man, and for the nice comment!
