Metal Reviews

So this is what I've been doing lately...

Soundclick page (4 songs)

Check it out! Tell me what you think (any criticism is appreciated).

I've listened to the samples, and I think it's very interesting to mix these genres. The songs were not bad, and very original, but there is plenty of room for improvement. Beside the production, which leaves room for wishes, I'd work on the following things if I were you:

1. The speedcore part is a little overdone, I'd suggest you start downloading a lot of hardstyle for ideas, many of the structures you used are nice, but some are a not-done in the hardstyle industry, and for a reason.
2. The music is very chaotic, that's not a bad thing, but don't try to put too many vocals in the chaotic parts.
3. The tempochanges are quite abrupt, I'd suggest uniting differences with accelerating rhythms and melodies, if you listen to some more hardstyle you are very likely to find a lot of ideas. Grindcore also has to deal with a lot of time changes, look how grind bands solve the problem. If you get this fixed, your music will become a lot more dynamic.
4. Futhermore, I think the melodeath part doesn't show as much diversity as the industrial half, if you make the guitar department a bit more consistent yet varied, the whole may sound a lot better.

I hope this is of any help, good luck with the project!

Thanks for listening!

I'm going to invest in better recording equipment pretty soon. This is my first time recording guitar or vocals into a computer...

lol, those weren't samples - they were entire songs. I have a short attention span...I like to get a lot of riffs out there in a really short amount of time. As long as everything flows well, I'm happy.

Yeah, the speedcore kicking is overdone. In the future I'm going to go with more mid-paced kicking. Accentuates the music better.

I was going for chaotic. I'm thinking about dropping the spoken vox...

Again, thanks for listening.

Hey all, I uploaded two more songs. If you would like, check out Empty and Gathering of the Destructors. Thanks.
