[Kindoms]

Not metal, but cool.

It's suprising to hear you do something so different from the usual. But not bad though! I have been meaning to download Reason for a friend actually. I use FL Studio most of the time, but using Reaktor 5 as a VST plug in instrument. Those programs can be incredibly useful if you're good with knowledge on working synth keys. I'm currently working on something that will involve more synth use, but it's not going to be ambient like this. It's going to be in the style of Children of Bodom. Anyway, the whole chorus/choir thing sounded pretty cool... it reminded me of being inside of an empty church in a video game or something.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks man. You always say that. haha. I usually put most of my messin around on Sheezy, rather than here...but now.
I'm thinking of doing alot more ambient and some classical tracks too. I used to play piano, for a long time...I just am soooooo lazy at drawing out the notes. I have to figure out how to get the dynamics right as well.
FL is good. But I can't use my typing keyboard as a "keyboard" in FL..cause the .2 second delay really fucks with me..hahaha.
Anyways man, as always..thanks for your support and review!\m/

[Rage-Metaljonus]

Damn metal!

I have always been a fan of insanely fast drumming and slower teeth-grinding riffs, so this was right on, man! But don't get all fussy that I gave clarity a 9... the reason I gave it a 9 is because there was one part closer towards the begining where the blasting on the snare drum was too loud and made it hard to hear the faster notes, and there was a few places where it was hard to hear the shredding too. Not a big deal though, everything else was perfectly audable, and the tone was great, the drum samples sounded great. 5/5 from me, and a DL man, peace.

Metaljonus responds:

Haha I don't really get all fussy bout clarity, I could send you a hi fi better mixed version that I've done if you want. Thanks for the review.

[Battle Trenches]

Too metal for a summary.

That rhythm line was badass as fuck man! Sounded like it was coming from James Hetfield man! That or Zakk Wylde at some parts. However, I don't really like the solo at some parts. Certain parts it sounded great on, but others not too great... But for a game, it would still work in. Just maybe not a solo for an Epic record of some sort. No offense man, it's still good.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

No offense taken man, you said Hetfeild, and Wylde...Thats fuckin insane. Thanks a hell of a lot man!!
Check your MAIL!!

[Hatred-Noumenon]

Review.

Well, I just spent a while listening through your stuff, and I love all of it. Noticing how this is a demo by your band made me interested though. The singer's cleaner stuff reminded me a lot of the singer of Nevermore. Sounded very influenced by him actually. The deeper vocals were a bit more original sounding though and I liked that. The guitar riffs and drum beats were great and fit the song great. I noticed a few reviews raving about your guitar solo. For some reason it didn't appeal to me much. It just sounded like too much whammy bar yanking, like Slayer-type of solo's. As much as I like Slayer, their solos suck. I heard some cool stuff in there, but I suggest you should probably calm down on the whammy stuff. Other than that, your song here is absolutely golden, and I would deffinately buy an album by you guys whenever one may come out!

Metaljonus responds:

Thanks for the comment man, Bout the solo...I hate that solo lol That is the worst solo out of all of the songs. Since this song was really death metalish I guess it needed a lame non melodic solo LOL. Check out the other songs I have uploaded dude. :)

[-The Massacre- Part 1]

Great sound quality!

You upload new stuff all the time I see. Well, it all keeps sounding better and better. Once again, great with the riffage!

Quickbeam responds:

Thanks for your comments!

[-The End Of It All- (Full)]

That's awsome!

I really pleasantly suprised to click on this and hear something that almost sounds like good old At the Gates. The riffing was great, the drums sound great too. Hopefully you'll throw some vocals on this (or have someone else do so) because I think it'd work out great! Oh yeah, what do you use for recording and such?

Quickbeam responds:

Sometimes i use audacity for pieces I don't think are my best, and a lot of the time I go to my local recording studio and record a song or two. They're quite cheap recordings too.

[The Night Bleeds]

Drums = Goooood

This doesn't sound like your best work, or even close really. The song is good, but some of the sound quality honestly makes it hard to tell what you're playing. The drums sound good though. Like other people said, it sounds like it's being played far away. It's weird that you named this "The Night Bleeds" because one of my weird surrealist art ideas are drawing the sky at night pitch black with the moon and such, but having that dark black sky bleeding on the rest of the world. I never posted it anywhere though.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Well that would be awesome to see. Sounds cool as fuck.

As for this song...I've had these riffs stuck in my head. I don't even like them...but I just haven't really been able to move on without ditching them in something..hahaha. I'm quite uninspired these days too...so. I don't get a lot of time for vocals, which I would rather be doing anyways. So I don't have a lot of creative energy for songs right now. It sucks. I pick up my guitar, and its like a stranger lately.

Thanks for the review though, man. Appreciate it.\m/

[Beyond-Metaljonus]

Wow...

Well like everyone else said, the sound quality is perfect. Which I am very jealous of you for knowing how to obtain it...
But anyway, the riffage was beautiful. I swear to god that shred intro made my brain leak holyshit-juices. Death metal style. The actual shred arpeggios and such were flawless too. I am just curious but how long have you been playing and how long do you averagely practice a day? Simply because those arpeggios sound a little too good man!

Metaljonus responds:

haha thanks man, I've been playing for 11-12 years and I used to practice a good 6 hrs every other day. Back in the day when I had time to play and practice. But lately i've been busy with life/work etc. Thanks for listening man.

[-This Darkened Heart-]

Metal \m/

Sounds damn good to me man! The distortion sounds great, drums sound great, and there's just great riffage. Doesn't get better. Well... unless there were some vocals...

Xerxes-Sangco responds:

Haha yea I wished, I don't have a mic, maybe I should buy one? Thanks for the review, glad you liked it! =)

[Nothing Yet]

Summary.

I see you added an intro solo from the version on Sheezy. It fits in perfectly in my opinion, however I think you should work on making it a little bit louder, and make it clear. I mean, I could hear it fine, but it sounded like you weren't used to playing it yet, so I think you should practice it a little, and then recorded it again on a final version with vocals. Other than that, it's badass!

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Yeah, I have soo many versions of this song...I forgot which was which. But yeah, the final version will be a lot different...and I will only have one version...hahaha. Thanks alot man\m/
