Listening as we speak. Good job putting it in the right section!

-edit

Im listening to the first song right now sounds really good dude. I like how its not screaming ALL the time (I listen alot of that) and that "laughing" part really ****ing reminds me of acid bath. I love acid bath so needless to say I liked that part.

As far as some construtive critisism goes, mabye sure the begging is ULTRA solid, because thats when people judge you in a recording. They listen to it for 30 seconds and have an opinion about how good you are, so might wanna tighten up that little fluctuation. The guitar part in the begging of the first song is a little repeditive, try something with the same rhythm differnent notes, cause after that first part its all good. The drumming was very solid as well!


Now ill go listen to the second song.

Also, for all of us, how about you edit the first post with how old you are, how long youve been playing, stuff about your band etc.

[fromtheshadows]

well yeah i have been here for quite a long time now....im no noob :p cheers for listening hope you enjoy!

How long have you been playing?

I didn't like the singing, but the drumming was pretty good.

What kind of music do you listen to?

Because I totally disagree. But music wouldnt be what if everyone liked the same.

[Hammerheart]

What kind of music do you listen to?

Metal for the most part.

and if you know about metal, well, you'd know where my username comes from. :)

[fromtheshadows]

i have been playing about 4 and a half years now, i think glad you liked the drumming :)

[Loyton]

Yea, thats what threw me off. Id thought youd enjoy it, claiming to like metal and all.

What are some of your favorite bands?

emperor and dream theater are 2 of the greatest bands ever IMO mike portnoy is sic!

[Loyton]

Well, i just listened to the second song, great also IMHO. The screaming was real solid. Ever listen to Acid Bath? Your singer sounds a tad like Dax.

[fromtheshadows]

in the first song, i liked the way it builds as each instrument comes in. i like songs that do that. the drumming is solid, but i had a little trouble making out what was going on with the double bass. were you playing triplets, or regular sixteenths? whatever it was it, it sounded kind of rumbly. might want to tighten that up in the next recording. in the second song the double bass drumming was much clearer i thought. it's a pretty decent effort for a home recording.

[alexmonty12]

That's really good, i really like the opening riff, the one thing that sort of annoyed me was the fill between the first riff and the second could have probably been cooler (on the first song) although the rest of it was awesome

[fromtheshadows]

yeah im not the one to brag or nothnig but my double bass is normally alot better than that its just mt DBP broke the day before recording so i had to use my singers ( he plays drums too) and he wouldnt let me change the setting on it so i had to keep the, how he likes them and yeah i didnt get on with them too well so yeah thats why.....but yeah hopefully all should be good on the next one :thumb:

[alexmonty12]

Well, i thought it was pretty good, i'd love to hear you play normally

[fromtheshadows]

yeah i am trying to work that one out, im just trying to borrow a vid cam off my neighbour but im not sure when this will happen so no def answer.....

just downloaded some acid bath there pretty sic, cant see the comparison though personally...

[Loyton]

Its in the vocals, not really the music. I recommend when the kite string pops. (album)

Your rite there, i think it is boring (Im not a metal fan).

But on your drumming, on the 1st song to me, it sounded like you came in a beat late, but that could just be my counting. Also with that huge intro, well you could do somthing at more 'lively'. But bar that, sounds good :thumb:

and now back to Cheap Trick

[White]

Pretty good stuff, Im liking it

[TheBennyP]

Thats pretty a pretty solid recording for a home studio. And im definitely diggin both tracks you put up. Great Stuff :thumb:
