Not too bad.

Guitar tone could use some work - it's really trebly, and got a bit too much distortion. Try EQ'ing your guitar parts a little - maybe roll off the highs at about 8k Hz to get rid of some of that nasty distortion buzz.
Also, it sounds like you play a bit ahead of/behind the beat in some places.
The riffs and song structure are awesome, though. Lots of potential there.
Just work on the recording quality itself, and you'll be golden.
I have a Spider 3, the 30-watter. Which Line 6 did you get?

METALkiDofEArTH08 responds:

15-watter. yeah i have lots of work to do to make recording perfect. but yeah. thanks.

One problem...

Where's the bassline?
I like my sub... I like it more when it's being used, though.
You still get a ten for sheer awesome, though.
Keep it up.

mseemercury responds:

yo i got a caddy with two 12's and that shit bumbs

Awesome.

Gore's right, definitely an old-school sound.
High-hat's way loud, but that's forgivable.
Your vocals have improved a huge amount, I'm really impressed by them.
Overall, I like it; it's pretty rad.

Creeping-Dan responds:

Ill have round off the high frequencies for the others thenfor the hi hats.

Cheers mate!

I'm going to have to agree with Schlief.

FL Slayer is one of those things that you really want to avoid using, if possible.
I mean, it's okay for plotting out your riffs and progressions, but it's very difficult to get to sound good.
Now, that said, there are people here on NG who are very good at making FLSlayer sound less... well, Slayer-like. One of them is jrayteam6 (sp?). If you're bound and determined to use electronic guitars, he's the guy to ask about how to get them to sound good.
If you're willing to use a real guitar, then you really should. Nothing sounds more like a guitar than a guitar. However, recording guitar is a difficult task in itself, but the payoff, to me, is worth it.
And drums... well, drums are a pain, if you want my opinion. However, programming them does get easier over time.
If you want a good starter drum program, I'd suggest Acoustica Beatcraft.
Then, when you get comfortable with Beatcraft, you can move up to EZDrummer (which I use) or something else, like Addictive Drums (which I, personally, have never used, but I've heard it's good).

So yeah. Long monologue aside, you've got potential. You sound like you know how to write a riff, a progression, etc. And I wouldn't have written all this if I didn't believe that you'll make a good contributer to the AP someday.
What you should really do now is focus on trying to get a good guitar sound, and learn to program good drums.
Figure those two things out, and you'll be golden.
And if there's anything you need help with, don't be afraid to go into the Audio Forum and ask for help. Most of the guys in there are great dudes who will help you out, or at least point you in the right direction.
So yeah, I look forward to hearing your future work.
Keep it metal.

Lard-lad responds:

Wow, thanks for the advice mate =]

Yeah, i'll give recording my guitar a go, just last time i tried it kinda failed pretty miserably.

I'm honoured you think i have potential, I'll keep at it =p

Where the hell have you BEEN!?!

I was getting sick of listening to puny-ass bullshit.
Thank FSM you finally decided to get your ass back on here and treat us to some metalz.
This is some juicy shit. I would have mixed it a little different, but it sounds badass as-is.
Fucking metal.

Creeping-Dan responds:

Ive been in the land of lazy. I have 8 new songs...its just getting round to recording them haha.

cheers mate!

Dog cherry?

More like dog shit.

Creek responds:

lol i kno it sucks huh..

Hell yeah!

I could try vox, I'm not sure how well I can pull them off though.
Crucified would probably do better, but I haven't seen him around recently.
Either way, this is an excellent start. Can't wait for the finished one.

Sonofkirk responds:

I'm sure you could do a great job, though I asked Crucified before. But a collab with you and crucified would be awesome. Thanks for the review \m/

Damn, this got 0-bashed to hell.

I put up a quickie drum track, tell me what you think.

Metal!

MindOverMatt responds:

I know right? It's no big deal as I just wanted dudes like yourself to hear it and maybe work with it. Thanks man,
Matt

Lawl at MindoverMatt...

I recorded a band that did that. It annoyed the fuck out of me.
I had my back turned, playing with the levels, trying to get it kinda balanced out, and I say 'How's that sounding, guys?' and turn around and there's one guy standing there, and he says 'Um, I think they went to smoke.'
I wanted to punch a bitch. Especially since I was doing it for free, as a favor to my stepbrother.
Anyways, as for the song...
Not bad. I kinda like it. Not like you can change anything anyway, so you get a 10 and 5.
Keep up the metal, bro.

Eternalreich responds:

yeah it was a little frustrating but it was a home recording enviornment. and he cut us a deal so we did are best.

Holy crap this is awesome.

The only thing I don't like is the slightly-loud snare, and the bass isn't quite high enough in the mix.
Besides those drum issues (drums are hard to mix, so I feel your pain), this track is amazing.
Really rippin' guitar tone, great leads... truly an epic track of metal proportions.
Pure awesomeness.
4.31 / 5.00 (+ 0.0020)

Dimoria responds:

Glad you like it. Check my GeneralRock track Test 4 out for an updated sound of my drums. Or any of the newer ones. Cheers.

I'm a dude. I play guitar. I am metal to the core. Don't try to over-metal me. You will be annihilated.
