Pure-Metal-UTA's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[( Oranges )]

Being slightly picky here...

Good melody and all that, except it all sounds too synthetic (except the solo which I thought was pretty good) The drums being the worst of it.
I'm not sure if there's any way to make the guitar sound program you're using sound less synthetic, but my recommendation is to do so, if I'm not mistaken Native Instruments Kontakt is a guitar sound VST, if it is, try going for that. Also find a better drum program. Acoustica Beatcraft or EZ Drummer have the best drum sounds ever.
Hope I helped!

Well this was done a while back, an i hope it was done on my mac and not my old computer, because a little while back my old computer died and i hope i'll be able to get all of the songs i had done off of it. This one was done i believe (And hope) on garage band, so i might be able to use fl to update the actual instrument sounds. But thank you for your input, and don't worry about being picky, i need it if i want to get better.

[Stairway to Heaven (Remix!)]

Agreed with therocker1

This isn't even close to metal, the closest genre this comes to is techno. Also no you didn't make it even close to being as good as the original. If you were to try and make it better (whcih no one would succeed) Try using real instruments.

People think this is a useless review.

the fans have spoken, why dont u and thecocker1 go play grab ass somewhere else

[Super Mario World Ghost Remix]

Awesome work!

To be technical this is actually the castle theme, but nonetheless I still think the song is awesome and you did an amazing remix of it. Makes me want to do my own version of it... Which I've actually started thanks to this song. You've inspired me to do my own version which I should thank you for.
5/5
10/10

[Holy Wars Cover (wip)]

Not bad!

I can definately see that your playing skill is definately there. I probably wouldn't be able to get that first part down and you nailed it for the most part. I do hear a few timing issues and the mixing issues are very dominant. other than that, good work and keep trying!

[No Sympathy-Bard+Deathkalypse]

=O EPIC!

This is so fucking epic, I have not much to say except EPIC!
Excellent work to the both of you!
5/5
10/10!
This song is worthy of the horns \m/

TheBardOfBlasphemy responds:

\m/ straight back at ya \m/

[i ate the easter bunny]

I laughed extremely hard at this.

This is something I would show my friends (I show them all the songs I like, though)
This would make them laugh too, the lyrics are that funny, and the instrumentation adds to the effect
Again, another good song.
10/10

TheBardOfBlasphemy responds:

awesome, dude... show them!!! glad you liked it :D

[Eyes of the Cemetary w/vox]

Epic!

The chorus makes me tingle inside.
Because of that, any badness to it is nullified... I can't see anything bad about it, it's just that good.
10/10

Schleif responds:

[WMD]

Thrash-worthy!

Love it.
Not much to say, it's just THAT good.

Fav'd

Schleif responds:

i couldn't ask for more - thanks alot man! \m/

[Cold Fists of Stone]

There's a few problems, but generally amazing!

THe only real issues is with how I put some cut and pasted the vocal tracks, During the second verse, when "Hunting down the weak" starts, it's just a slight bit off, but it's noticable. The chorus after the verse with "My power grows again" has issues after "Chew on my" in which you can hear the beginning of the word cold.
If you want, I can fix these over the weekend.
Other than that, it's pretty much exactly the way I heard it in my head, which is awesome. I'm glad people are enjoying it!

TheBardOfBlasphemy responds:

it's up to you, man... i couldn't notice those things too much but the creator is always the harshest critic (at least, that's how it is for me).

if you get around to it, i'll upload the changes, but it sounds cool anyway

[A Holesome (Finished?)]

I can suggest a few things...

Alright so there's a few things that could be used for improvement upon first listen.
The big thing is that it sounds like there needs to be more added to it besides a bass, piano and drums. I don't know what I would recommend, maybe acoustic guitar to go along with the bass rythm or a lead guitar to go along with the piano melody.
The snare drum seems a little too quiet, if you can turn that up that would make a better impact upon the song.
The ending seemed like it came from out of nowhere, the rest of the song seemed to have a quiet and calm feeling, then at the end just a bang. I would say to have a better buildup towards the end and then go from there. I would personally say to have a small dying effect after, such as adding a bit of delay after each note on each instrument. Or you could have an abrupt ending, and have alarger impact on the ending by doing that.

Other than that, the song was really catchy, the way you used accidentals had a neat feeling towards the song. Also the song had a generally happy feeling towards that.
Hope this helps.

Kirbyfemur responds:

Well this is just the very start of the song. I plan on adding another instrument or two.

The snare... Well I'll try to do what i can without screwing up the quality, since i can't find a good sound for the snare.

The ending wasn't fully thought out, and sadly it was just sort of thrown in there.

I'm just glad that the main issues where things I had planned on fixing, rather than things I couldn't see needing fixed.

I just hope if i do add anything, that it doesn't screw up the eq lol

Thanks for the listen, and the words =3
