AngelsDontKill's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Summerfell]

Nearly 500 views so far, frontpaged, and only one other comment? Man, NewGrounds is not the place it once was ...

I loved the track, excellent work! It's experimental in a great way, all of the filtered sounds behind the drums are dreamlike and otherworldly. Getting a bit more intense towards the end was a good breakup of the progression. I am sure your album will be successful!

[Crush]

How do you casually make this as a lil ditty? Lead guitar and all ... puts me to shame. You know I fucking love this. Love the overlapping "crush" vocals too! Ending with the clean dreamy sounds going back into that deep deep butthole ripping riffage is what I'm here for.

Make a new album my man, this is what metal is missing.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Ah, you run circles around me, my brother. I use the "ola" riff challenges for riff farming - so its a bunch of those ideas. It really helps when I'm strapped for creativity!

I got a new 7 string since this, cause it was soooooooooo frustrating on my jackson. I paid $250 for it, new - so really cheap. So I bought a good one cause I wanna make more.

Anyways, you're ridiculous and awesome. <3

[Cement]

I'm so upset, I followed you but didn't get notified of this wonderful upload >:(

You have the pipes of Sarah Mclaughlin and Cookie Monster. The chorus blew me away when it kicked in, that ambient reverb/delay works so fucking well!

Instrumental is solid as always man. I loved the way the bass stuck out in the breakdown around 2:39 and on. Reminded me of MudVayne a lil' bit. That last gutteral you unleash to end it is absolutely crushing too, love it! You can rest assured I will be coming back to this one repeatedly.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Well, holy shit. I didn't realize this got the FP. And Also - sorry for the late reply. Dealing with some real life fiascos...so humble apologies there.

Thank you, for the super kind words, as always. You're an amazing musician, to me, someone I looked up to, very much - so it's really awesome to hear that!!
Thanks brotha!! \m/

[Born of Sorrow]

I can't believe how good you are at writing, composing, and recording. Seriously, inspirational. Your band is fucking lucky to be associated with you. If I ever manage to cross the border into Canada, I'd totally join your band just to play cowbell.

[The Wait]

Jesus Fucking Christ, you say this is for when you're "too heavy"!? This is metal as fuck and channeling some mid-2000's vibes for me. That heavy pre-chorus reminds me a lot of early Trivium, and the chorus is a very catchy ballad that makes me feel like I could do some straight up X-Games type of snowboarding.

[new years for the alcoholic]

I don't know how to offer constructive criticism, so I will just say I loved this and look forward to hearing more of your work! Great job with this, I zoned out pretty good while listening :)

kilroyirl responds:

thank you man, i really appreciate it!

[The Clown Of Death]

It should be mandatory that I am notified via Pidgeon w/ note attached or something every time you upload >:( This is too damn cool! I love your voice in that chorus, and I especially dig the lead guitar over the rhythm cords it works really well! Your tags are appropriate.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

oh man i miss u

[Hostile Delivery (Instrumental)]

Ghaaad daayuum. Why doesn't something alert me when you post stuff? This is excellent! Love that reverb around a minute in. The double bass and machine-gun guitar rhythm is reminiscent of Metallica's "One". If only I had discovered this bad boy on a Tuesday ...

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Miss ur face! although, I never saw it...but you know!

[wretched demon (instrumental demo) pt1]

Nice! The guitar at ~3:32 is cool, reminds me of early Sonic the Hedgehog for some reason. Some of the guitar in this reminds me of FL Studio's "Slayer". Keep up the good work >:I

[Mæror]

I dig the mouse-click samples in the beginning, I've never heard that used in a song before. I think you should try incorporating it more somehow, really mess with it. For a reference (if you're curious) check out "The Bomb" by Neuroticfish. It starts with an old dial-up sound that gets integrated into the intro real creatively.
As for the rest, this is excellent. I'm a bit old (30) but half of my life ago I started with FL Studio and this really reminded me of those weird late night or early morning sessions in which I would make things very similar to this. My early FL Studio work isn't on NewGrounds, but you've definitely got a better first full-length song. I don't have much constructive criticism, it was just nice to hear your work, great job!

TheVenturer responds:

This is a really positive review, thank you! I'm honored to have a veteran here c:
