umm no stream, just download? weird man..

anyways, listening it now, nice guitar riffs, beats should be more full i think, they make the song feel a bit dry, dunno, other than that good stuff, excellent solos. bass should be a bit louder maybe, but i am on headphones now, that should be the reason.

overall very enjoyable tune, welcome to the ubw!

keep it coming!!!

peace.

hey there, I'm not normally into metal, but I enjoyed much of this tune. some pretty incredible guitar parts starting about 2:05 in the song... agree with unproject that the drums are a tad light.

thanks, yeah i played drums and the song is originally for double bass but we couldnt get the second bass drum to sound well so i had to improvise. And i hate how my snare drum came out, i'm probably gonna rerecord this, it was done in 2 takes

wow thats a real nice complement coming from a guy that really isn't into metal. What did you guys think of the intro? to short or not necessary or perfect? i would redo the drums right now but i don't have a recording studio so i'll try to get it better later

intro is fine. I was afraid it was going to go overboard. Reason I say I'm normally not into metal is there's so much screaming/yelling/growling etc in so much of it - but this tune didn't go that direction. I'm just not into that. Really, I thought the guiitar solo was very cool.

I think the intro is fantastic! I love the harmonies you do with the main guitar riff and then the solo that comes in around 1:00.

I see your comment about the snare. It does sound pretty weak compared to the rest of the music.

Fantastic music!!!! Great to have you here!

Thanks! I gotta register though lol . I believe my two guitarists are the shit they are really good, i don't believe i'm a worthy enough drummer to be there.

The drumming is great, just a weak snare sound. You can fix that EASY!!!! Your guitarists do rock though!!!!

And yes... You should sign up at the forums as well so you can use the private messaging system and edit your posts!

You guys are right, my whole damn drumset sounds like a midi file...

o and now im registered Very Happy

and i hate cookie monster vocals too, we are trying to get a vocalist who doesnt sound like a guy with a bad cough

Great to see you got registered!!!

I think the vocals are VERY important! You've got some great music, make sure it doesn't get squashed by weak vocals!!!

I dont' think the rest of your kit sounds that bad. I mean there is always room for improvement, but the snare is the only glaring problem in my opinion.

LOL - Metalica did it with decent sounding vocals. It _can_ be done with good vocals... Not sure of that's what the fans want to hear anymore though. I'm showing my age, but do the fans today not consider a band a "real" metal band without the cookie monster vocal you talk about? Just curious.

i know it can be done with normal vocals, we're looking for someone with a metallica/megadeth ish range, i hate cookie monster vocals, they all sound the same to me

oh and most "heavy metallers" these days love cookie monster vocals, im more into dream theater and stuff like that but when i do cross over to metal, the only cookie monster vocals i can stand are sepultura and hatebreed.
