TwilightNecrosis's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Vital Scourge]

Awesome.

I just had a thought:
This would make a good companion song to The Origin of Disease, if you change one letter in the title.
The Origin of Disease and Viral Scourge. I like the sound of that.
I like the song too. Asskickery abounds.

MindOverMatt responds:

Damn, not a bad idea! Didn't think of that. Can't wait to hear some vocals my friend. And thank you so much for the supportive review. But yeah, I'd love to hear what you could do to this. Stay in touch, stay metal.

[Sea Of Cloud]

This isn't normally my kind of music...

But I accidentally clicked on Indie instead of Heavy Metal.
I was going to hit back, but I let it load, and lo and behold, your name pops up on the #6 song.
So I figured I'd give it a listen, and I really like it.
It's not annoyingly electronic, but it's not completely organic either.
It strikes a comfortable blend, without being overbearing.
I think a really echoey, spacey vocal track would be the icing on the cake, but it's perfectly awesome as-is.
Kudos.

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

Ah, a beautiful accident, aye?

Thats cool you had a listen to it. I'm glad you liked too. Thats what i was going for, a half and half sort of vibe. Organic with electronic. I've been doing that a lot more lately too. When i made the track me and my friend on guitar thought about vocals, but we never did get around to it. I'm glad you liked, and thanks for a review that actually had some words to it : D

[Episode 666 (In flames cover)]

Wrong tuning, lawl.

Seriously, though, this is an awesome cover.
I like the original a lot, but you've definitely done the song justice.
4.36 / 5.00 (+ 0.080)

XxCowMeatxX responds:

i know... the guitars in the real version are tuned down 2 full steps. i dont own a guitar thats tuned down that low. closest i could do was 1 1/2 steps. but thx man im glad u liked it.

[Carcass - Corporal Jigsaw.....]

W00T!!!1 100 songs for you!!!

Awesome, man. I don't have to do vocals now. =p
Seriously, your vox are getting much better.
Kudos.
3.75 / 5.00 (+ 0.28)

Creeping-Dan responds:

Hahaha. I was thinking ive got to do it because i love it. I do lower vocals better, this is the first time ive ever tried this style haha. Cheerrrss!!

[Spring Me From Hell (preview)]

The triumphant return of the Bad Man.

I liked the riffs, and the drums weren't as bad as some of the other guys made them out to be (at least to me, anyway).
The only problems I have with the drums are: the kick being too low in the mix, and while I actually like the kinda bassy snare sound, it's a bit too loud.
I think the main problem is the rather thin guitar sound.
It's very possible that a meatier, thicker guitar sound will balance out the drums, but that is just my opinion.
Overall, an excellent preview of the destruction to come.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

All these things have been fixed in the final music. The only thing really lacking is bass. I could pitch shift some guitar, I suppose...but I have to fuck around too much with that...haha.
I switched out the snare completely,(I thought it sounded too Metallica ish St.Angery garbage canny) upped the kick, which was delicate to do, cause of the double kicks, section. haha. It would clip there, but be too quiet everywhere else. So figured that shit out.
I've got Elfofchaos working on some vokills, and just gotta get a solo in there. Got a couple of awesome doods trying some shit out for me, on that too...soo...in the end...should be badass as fuck. Thanks for your review man!\m/

[The Human Butcherer]

Excellent.

This is a badass piece of molten metal, here.
I do have a problem, but it's nothing that can't be remedied.
And that problem is, while the kick sounds hella awesome, it's also a little too loud.
My suggestion is to either turn it down a bit, or lower the bass-end EQ, so that it doesn't hit quite so hard.
That all I've got, man. Hell of awesome shit, this.
4.32 / 5.00 (+ 0.061)

Creeping-Dan responds:

Aye man, ive been remixed the drums for an EP im working on and ive turned it down. The snare on it is sounding lovely :D

Cheers mate.

[The Iron Mask (CM/CFD)]

Man...

I want your vibrato.
I want it so hard.
I counted off one star for the production; clean that up, and this would be nearly perfect.
METAL FOREVER!!!

XxCRUCIFIEDxX responds:

I do suc at mixing at times. But I'm working on it. vabrato comes with lots of repetition. Your voice is rockin already so just keep it up and you will have it down sooner than you know.
Thanks for the review bro!!!

\m/ HAIL! \m/

[Most Boring Song of all Time]

One word: Gizmachi.

Gizmachi is a totally shite band I happened across on Myspace, and the dude only put one riff into a 5 minute song. Fucking lame.
Due to you being the greatest guitarist on Newgrounds, I cannot say anything bad about this.
Metal forever, hail Satan, etc, etc.

CockRider responds:

Haha, thanks man, I really am the most awesome guitarist on Newgrounds, this song proves it!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

[Chaos pt.2:Raining Tears]

Again...

see previous review.
Awesome vision, excellent progressions... just lacks that feel.
Let me know if you want to double-team these beyotches.

HarvestThrone responds:

Thanks lol. I definitely agree it needs the tone of a real guitar. Again, I'll contact you when I'm done, though for both if these I might actually be longer. I have to remember what I wrote since I can't save on the demo version of my program and go back to it later -_-

[Chaos pt.1: Sea of Destruction]

My opinion...

is that you rewrite it, but only do the parts that aren't guitar, and send me the .mp3 and transcription of the guitar parts, and let me play the guitar parts.
I love this song, and I think it has huge potential, but it needs some real guitar, and maybe better sounding drum samples. With those elements added, this would be an absolute killer.
That said, I understand if you don't want to let me put my grubby paws all over your awesome shit, but I think it would be that much more awesome with real guitar.
That's my opinion, take it or leave it, but this is awesome either way.
Major kudos.

HarvestThrone responds:

Oh damn...really?! O_O Actually that would be great, and I fully agree. The guitar samples on FL sound horrible compared to an actual guitar, and the drum samples sound better once you've learned how to EQ them and change all the pitches of the toms and the snare. Thanks for the review!! And I will most likely be re-writing it soon. I'll get in touch with you when I'm done remaking it, though it may be another week or two before I do.
