hopefully this link will work.

New song from Sorcerer's Spell after line-up change to include new drummer and keyboardist.

This track doesn't have vocals on yet but we should have one with vox fairly soon...

All crit appreciated. And i know Power Metal isn't everyone's cup o' tea so that doesn't need to be included in the crit.

Thank a you chaps and chapesses. :)

Good stuff man!

The keys are a bit strong in the first half... making it sound more synthpop oriented. That's just in the mix though. Maybe if you rbrought it back in the mix some. I love the interlude/solo. Also, try and bring down the level a bit on your final mixdown. I don't know what you're using to record, but it's distorting a little.

Overall, I really like the progression and style. Keep it up.

Ah maybe i should have explained. The keys part at the start is the Chorus vocal melody and drops out because the vox takes that part in the following correspondant parts.


Er....i didn't explain that very well but meh.

Take the keep

Cool start, and i like the idea with the bouncy guitar, though the keyboard sound your using sounds a bit breathy. The guitaring is cool, and i like the drums being loud in the mix. Gives a very thrashy sound. LAter guitaring is perhaps not as screechy as i'd like and maybe a bit tinny, but it's a good idea melodically. Nice piano break, i like that all the other instruments breifly drop out, and it leads well into the next part. Now that's what your guitars should of sounded like earlier, nice and full screechy sound. Great solo, leading into another kind of keyboard solo. Cool run on the guitar afterwards. A good instrumental.
