 | xxm You?re welcome.
|
| xxm I read your comments on the Toxicity thread and I must say that I love your style. Happy Holidays.
|
 | TheNotrap Good stuff ;) If you loved the singles you won't be disappointed
|
 | Flugmorph thanks fam, i do like red chord, gonna try to check the others you've mentioned!
|
 | Kusangii Your 5s makes me inspired to live life to its fullest
|
 | TheTripP If you liked Shadow of Intent check out Hollow Prophet, same singer but a supergroup with harder blast beats
|
 | Gameofmetal took a bit due to some technical problems but the songs should be completely done now, made the call to drop the cleans on track six though unfortunately but great work on the songs bud, really appreciate it. I figure all that's left is to figure out some cover art and then I can put it on bandcamp and youtube.
|
| Gameofmetal You don't find it kinda distracting? It feels to me like there's too much happening in that section, the track needs a mellow refrain with some rising action via the drums and lead guitar coming in to build up to the finale. With the singing it feels like overload for that part as well as drowning out the instruments in one of the few places where I really didn't want that to happen.
|
| Gameofmetal Actually I think I'm totally ok with the spacey effects cleans on track 3, but I don't really think the singing works at all over the clean guitar part in track 6. Feel like that just works a lot better as an instrumental section.
|
| Gameofmetal alright the rest of the songs are up in dropbox, needa know if there's anything you're not ok with before I close out the last payment. I'm still kinda judging the clean vocals, so far I'm thinking they're a little awkward at times but work at others.
|
| Gameofmetal Hey are the new takes in dropbox yet, I don?t see them and my guy is asking after them
|
| Gameofmetal I need to keep reviewing them but on first listen or two I was fine with how they sounded, a couple spots where the double tracking thing sounds odd but mostly I think it just made them sound fuller in some areas
|
| Gameofmetal He?s wanting to know if you can re record the clean vocal part on track six, said he?s been having trouble with it.
|
| Gameofmetal first three songs are up in dropbox, let me know how they sound to you in case it needs more work or there's something off to you.
|
| Gameofmetal Just sent the EP to a friend to do the mixing/mastering and we should see the results this week.
|
| Gameofmetal yeah i was happy with everything, but it's harder to judge until they're laid over the tracks and mixed in properly. im pretty optimistic though.
|
| Gameofmetal The question isn't "if" it's happening, but "when". I've had a wild few months and it could a wild few more so there's no telling when this thing will be wrapped up but it will eventually. I've had this material for too long to just not release it so have no fear that your work will just disappear.
|
| Gameofmetal might be a little while until you see the results, gotta get some programs and stuff around christmas and then ill get to work on my end.
|
| Gameofmetal Great to hear. Will take a look later when I have time.
|
| Gameofmetal yeah it was funky for me too, will take a look later
|
| Gameofmetal all good my dude, wont have time to look until tomorrow because i have school and then i have to work a night shift immediately after but looking forward to it
|
| Flugmorph sputnik is a ****ing safespace now man we're a dying breed
|
| Gameofmetal all good man, do what you gotta do. if you have the time to spare Id appreciate it if you spent some of it on the songs, but I get that you have other things on your plate
|
| Gameofmetal aye man make any more progress or have you just been busy?
|
 | kascetcadettt here's a thread where you can discuss how fantastic it is to be a part of this moment: http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=174557 \\\ don't be scared to share the news with other guys in case i missed someone out and keep shining in the light of this beautiful rock n roll fireplate, god bless, hasanmedia represent
|
| kascetcadettt sieg hi it's-a me smooth brotha from the umpteenth block taggin' em trainz comin' from your favorite station, word on the street is (artuma is gay) my new album came out recently and if that's the last thing i ever do let it be, leavin' the link in your hands my man: http://poleyounger.bandcamp.com/album/go-daylight \\\ feel FREE to 1 it if u didn't like my agressive self promotion campaign, feel FREE to thank me if this album saved your life
|
| Gameofmetal i don't think they're terrible, just that you can kinda hear some strain in them and sometimes they don't fit the way they should but I wouldn't say don't do highs anymore or anything
|
| Gameofmetal alright lol well essentially I just said that your lows and the occassional mid range thing you did some were fine, but the highs were a little off putting. The vox in general need to be lowered a tad which may fix it but i thought you could work on those a bit, generally though im liking what you're doing so keep it up
|
| Gameofmetal It's specifically on the track with vox if that helps?
|
| Gameofmetal left a comment in dropbox for you to look at
|
| Gameofmetal They're back, not sure whod them but i didnt. thankfully there's a restore option in dropbox because i apparently don't have secondary copies anywhere else. gonna copy those so that doesn't happen again more permanently
|
| Gameofmetal gotcha, just checking in. been kinda busy myself so i forgot about it
|
 | SmileNerd why the 5 on that cash grab A7X album
|
| Gameofmetal Oh and with regards to the name, last time i was thinking about it I was sitting on "An Old Fiend"
|
| Gameofmetal i have a guy who can do it. and i don't mind some squeals if that's what you wanna do
|
| Gameofmetal aight ive shared the folder to you, should be obvious where everything is. some tracks have some sloppy bits in there as a result of my recording conditions but i really dont have the means or desire to polish them up, just wanna get the songs out there since i spent so long on them.
|
| Gameofmetal as long as it doesn't take you like a year plus to start we all good lol
|
| Gameofmetal aight ill get you access to the tracks today sometime. im a little hesitant to do lyrics because im not a vocalist so i feel like i come up with weird vocal patterns that dont make sense with the music
|
| Gameofmetal I can send you the instrumentals so you can hear them, you have a dropbox account? I can just link you to the folder where the wav files are.
|
| Gameofmetal I don't but i suppose if you don't want to then I can try to do them.
|
| Gameofmetal well the reason i was asking is because i have a deathcore ep that's been written and recorded for like a year now and the guy i got for vocals hasn't done his part, so im looking for someone to do the job
|
| Gameofmetal hey were you the vocalist or the instrumentalist with the icarus complex? for some reason im totally blanking right now but i wanna say you were vox
|
| Gameofmetal sounds pretty tight, the clean vocal bit was used pretty well too
|
 | Pennywise_M I shall rate it after enough listens and feeling more at home with the EP. I only promise you honesty though. c:
|
| Pennywise_M Oh wow, the dude is 17? Thought he'd be older! The guy has talent! About the hiss well, the whole thing overall was very listenable in terms of prod. I'll give it a couple more listens meanwhile.
|
| Pennywise_M I mainly like your lower pitched work, it's pretty solid. Like how it blends with the music, the production is also pretty good on the vocals and overall. Where did u guys record it? Btw, as i'm a sucker for gothenburg style riffs, the last track of the EP is pretty dope overall. Also, how old are you?
|
| Pennywise_M Took me long enough! I finally checked your vox and TIC EP. Wish u guys had it on bandcamp or smth, that would be cool. I hear a lot of potential there dude i gotta say. About your vox, i honestly liked them. You're very versatile and i love to hear that in vocalists. You seem to know how to use your cleans better than me too, haha. The only part i liked them a bit less on a first audition was on the latter phase of Final Peroxyms but that's just the first time i listen to it, might sink in!
|
 | Toondude10 easily the most boring metal album I've heard this year
|
| Toondude10 yeah, it was boring a f*ck. More or less a complete waste of time if you ask me. The songs just dragged on and on and on and I'm thinking this would've been really good if they cut like almost twenty minutes.
|
 | chemicalmarriage They definitely riff hard. Saw em when chris was in dudes had chops
|
| chemicalmarriage Just wondering if you were on the scene, not many people mention WoT anymore
|
| Gameofmetal ill try to get to that review this week. im just trying to collect some thoughts on the thing enough to write, sorry for the delay
|
| Gameofmetal Abigail williams and coffincraft both have new albums that are very solid (black metal and death metal respectively) and I've been discoging A Forest of Stars (victorian/steampunk themed atmo black metal)
|
| Gameofmetal yeah i want to do it but ive been very busy and not too motivated to write. ill try to get to it around that time tho
|
 | FrozenVain Just listened to your EP. Sorry that it took so long. It is very nice. There are things I like more and things I like less, but that's very subjective. Overall I think it's a really good EP. There is a lot of potential here. Don't get discouraged by my perhaps low rating though. I always rate EP's lower since they are basically just half albums. I'm really looking forward to more material.
|
 | Pon This is reminding me a lot of Valtari's record from last year. It's not really my thing, but I like your vocals. I understand you've asked Gameofmetal for a review as well, it's probably best to wait for a review from him if you'd like some more positive exposure.
|
| Pon I'll have a look, do you think it's something I'd like?
|
| FrozenVain Thanks, man! I'm glad you dig. We are working on a full-lenght as we speak. I personally think it's a huge step forward in quality.
|
| Toondude10 Besides if I don't it looks like Game's got you covered ;-)
|
| Toondude10 lol, sorry about that. Had a pretty busy week so I'll try and get it out sometime this week if I have time.
|
| FrozenVain Yeh, dude. Of course I will listen to it!
|
| Gameofmetal the first time they come in I don't recall disliking too much but the later parts i couldn't decide if they were a bit off key or just mixed in badly or what. yeah ill review it soonish. Ive got a kinda busy weekend with school work and there was another album i wanted to review soon.
|
| Gameofmetal yea i thought it was really solid all around, the biggest thing that bothered me were the cleans. just didn't really feel like they fit most of the time.
|
| Gameofmetal ooooo I could do that. I'll have to listen to it first (I have it bookmarked I swear) but yeah I'll try to oblige you that.
|
 | Crysis nice work dude, enjoyed your higher pitched screams
|
| Toondude10 Well in that case, expect the review to be out at least on Friday (if not sometime during the weekend) if I do end up getting the time, which I might. But don't just tell me about it. Get some more exposure, tell a few more people about it.
|
| Toondude10 thnx but couldn't you have just...idk given me the stream link if it's up already?
|
| Toondude10 I could do that, review might not be up until next Friday though.
|
| Toondude10 Probably, depends on if I have time by the time when it drops.
|
| Toondude10 he makes guest appearances every now and then
|
| Toondude10 check out the band Disarmonia Mundi, it's got Bjorn Strid and Christian Alvestam in it.
|
| FrozenVain It has been way faster for me than my other band but I've been writing music for that album for about a year.
|
| FrozenVain Yeh, he is good songwriter. I'm actually working on my very own folk black metal project. Gonna record my first full-lengt this wednesday.
|
| FrozenVain That's awesome! Great vocals man! Very, very solid overall. You must keep med. The transition at 1:00 is kinda sudden though if I want to be constructive but it's a really good clean part. Nice melodic guitar solo as well. I'm actualy a vocalist in a bands as well :D. My favorite tracks are 5-6 from our EP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kQo6TW6VqA Check if you get the time.
|
| Gameofmetal hmm alright well im curious at least, will jam right now
|
| Gameofmetal damn a 4.5? I kinda assumed it was something core since it came from noc but im infinitely more excited to listen now seeing the death and black metal tags
|
| FrozenVain Sounds absolutely awful. Jk, I actually listened to one song already beacuse I saw your review for it. It sounded cool so I will check.
|
 | Arcade why is Jeffrey Dhamer your dp
|
| FrozenVain I will definitely listen to it. I might review it depending on how "reviewable" I find it to be. Cheers.
|
| Kusangii Oh, and while we're at it, The Armageddon Theories by Theory in Practice is an insane album that should appeal to any tech-death fan too. :]
|
| Kusangii Artifacts by The End of All Reason. Kind of similar to First Fragment, Inanimate Existence, Inferi etc.
|
| Kusangii Yo, I've been seeing that you dig a lot of tech-death, and was just wondering if you're in the mood for checking out an awesome underrated band in the genre?
|
 | Viraemia Hey, your Scar Symmetry review is great! I thought you might be interested to review the new Crimson Shadows album? http://youtu.be/snI-FiyM7Dg
|
 | OmairSh Just a taste m/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=986iAyQpr1U, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odySTKfpmFs, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxNwx8MZSEk
|
| OmairSh Dude nice rating for Leprous' TPS, Bilateral is even better. Takes quite a few listens to really appreciate, trust me when I say that
|
 | Gnocchi I think those are fair scores, I'm trying to keep my opinions balanced, objective and all that. I can get you an email to send interview questions if you like, best I can do if you're interested
|
| Gnocchi Digital watermarked promos dude. The PR guy I work with leads the Aust branch of NucBlast. I have interviews coming up with Nilsson.
|
| Kusangii Those are some damn legendary 5 ratings hahah. Please never remove those 5's and never rate anything else a 5, for me?
|
| FrozenVain Holy ****, dude. Scar Symmetry just posted your urban dictionary post about them on facebook. Fun.
|
| FrozenVain Have you heard Scar Symmetrys new song?
|
| Gameofmetal I got my Fallujah review up. Would love some feedback man.
|
| Pennywise_M Hey man if you ever need any recs in a specific genre i like, feel free to pop up.
|
 | Insurrection Hey man, have you heard the new Lacuna Coil? You said you heard the worst songs but don't let that deter you cause the good songs are some of the best theyve done in a long time
|
| Gnocchi hey Adam, ive had this position for a while now. i went through the applications for the position.
|
 | DixieNormous Screw you punk....like you never made a grammar mistake before. Get off your elitist high horse you self righteous douchebag.
|
| chemicalmarriage dude you need to get in a band. don't stop creating, there are people out there. Cheers
|
| FrozenVain Don't you even dare removing that 5 on Gunther though. That is like the only true music.
|
| FrozenVain Your fives are like the best fives I have ever seen.
|
 | Drummerboy123 My e-mail is foo_fighter_sean@hotmail.co.uk (Foo Fighters are still good man! haha)
|
| Pon Hmmm, not really. I'm not that into it, best bet is to ask Dev.
|
| Pon lol true, you just need a gay pink electronica pie slice and you'll be set.
|
 | aqualungcancer This isn't meant to be spam, but I'm curious as to what you think of this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDOOEdDI2aQ
|
 | Lambda OH, my reviews? (I'm guessing.) Haha. Well thanks for reading them man :)
|
| Lambda Thanks, but to which resume are you referring to? o.O lol
|
 | SylentEcho Ha! :) I'm mostly on RYM now. Sputnik's lost it's charm and most of it's good members. :(
|
 | Stokes I've honestly not given it that many listens yet, but from the 3-4 playthroughs I have it sounds like City but with less balls. Chances are it'll end up having a higher rating, though.
|
 | VeilOfOsiris http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kVFV4zgFvQ best song of the year.
|
| Gnocchi youtube- the green river project, might be something you like, however no album released yet.
|
| Gnocchi Nice array of metal reviews, i will be reading some more
|
 | Apollo right on, I'll check it out tonight after work. Thanks for the heads up dude
|
| Apollo go to the review of the album/band you want, and there is a button near the top of the review which says 'Digging', click on that
|
| Apollo right on man \w/ keep it metal
|
| Apollo dude, Jon LaJoie! you Canadian? I saw him live about a month ago
