meehhhhhh

that single is generic as hell mostly, but in the places it could be interesting it kinda sucks

nice, sounds pretty solid

@BlacKapes

What exactly do you mean by that?

@Gameofmetal

Thanks man!

meh but the fact the last track has 3 parts to it has me keen

@grindcorecore

The last track is 13 minutes long!

is this your band dude?

@TooLateToGoBack

Obviously haha

more like eternal closet

It this someone promoting their own band?

Not bad - has some interesting parts - not good enough singing/handle of the English language to make clean verses work at all though. Likewise, harsh vocals could use some work too, but overall I like the dark realistic tone of it despite the fact that its overall generic, which I don't really have a problem with. Riffs are solid and I actually like the clean style as well. Pretty aggressive and genuine. One piece of advice - like BlacKapes said, the interesting parts aren't used to their fullest potential mostly - I think one of the reasons for this is that your builds are somewhat predictable and unfinished in the sense that they don't climax with a good transition. The transition to the chorus is okay; it only doesn't work great cause the hook isn't very powerful. Not a fan of the initial note especially which hinders the hook capturing me. but for example - the intro sets up for a nice build which just gets quietly swallowed into the main riff without much explosion - its a fine drum fill, but when the riff comes in, it just doesn't pack the punch it should following the nice base line intro. In the bridge as well - which I'd say is basically the key to making a song like this fully effective - the inspirational spoken section doesn't crescendo and when the next semi-interesting section comes in following, it suffers from that and then additionally suffers from it not really going anywhere. That riff needs to reach an emotional peak I'd say that it doesn't going into the harder section. Even if I wasn't clear, hope it helps a bit. Figured an honest opinion wouldn't hurt. This had my attention pretty well, especially in the beginning and you can notice glimpses of promise later as well - didn't know you were kinda promoting your band at first - good job man, congrats on making the album.

First of all, thank you. This may be the best most constructive comment i've read on sputnikmusic ever haha. Some things I agree some I disagree obviously so let's go.

I know my english/singing isn't perfect yet, I'm more confortable when I'm belting my higher range for sure. As far the whole transitions/build-ups thing I do disagree.
The bass riff is meant to be cut short and brought back as a heavy riff later. The inspirational speech wasn't made to be a crescendo but to make the crowd sing along and I'm sure it will work. As far as things not reaching their full potential I mean a lot of motifs and rhythmic patterns are tweaked and re-used troughout. For example let's take at 3:25 we have the ''breakdown'' which turns into this heavy version of the first verse with the delayed/tremolo picked version of one the main themes of the song. I mean the point of this song was to keep everything moving yet still keep everything tight and to me I accomplished exactly that. And yes other songs on the album are longer and take more time to developp the ideas such as the the part 2 of the last song which is just a huge build up to part 3.

Again though I repeat I loved your comment from beginning to end. Hope you listen to the full album when it comes!

^No problem man. And yeah, of course disagree/defend your choices; I'm sure you made them for good reasons. Just my opinion on what i said. Though I didn't mean it was bad cutting off the bass line; I meant it should've been cut off there and reused later; I only wished that when the riff came in following the bass line that it packed more of a punch - could merely come down to production/volume.

Oh I get it. It is reused later though haha
