[Metal1 - Zhuriel VS cowdog2]

Great work!

I listened to the backing track seperately and felt it wasn't my type of metal. But nonetheless good!
Regarding the mixing, Zhuriel's solo was too loud and cowdog's to just right. I couldn't hear the backing track over Zhuriel's shredding.
Now to review the solos:
Zhuriel
I personally felt that it needed more than picking a single note and changing it every little bit. That being said, it was still decent and went along with the song. The beginning part was excellent though, and the effects were good.
Cowdog2
I really like the melodicness of this one, although there were off notes and sometimes misplaced notes (if you know what i mean) You show excellent control of the fretboard, and i like that!
My vote goes to cowdog2

thecoreman responds:

Thanks for voting and supporting dude. Appreciated, and counted for the final vote.

[Fabricated Son]

I really like this song!

BUT like the guy below me said, the vocal volume is really low, so it's hard to make out the lyrics just by listening to it.
Nonetheless, the lyrics are really good.
Instrumentation is good, EQing seems good except for the vocals.
One suggestion, I don't know if you do this, but perhaps try singing at the top of your lungs, this allows for better flow of the lyrics, and perhaps by doing this you won't need to turn up the volume of the vocals.
Great song though! I 5'd this earlier, so I can't five it again.

[Metal Game Over Audio]

Good for game over

Simple composition, but good mix.
And it does give the feel of "OH SHIT YOU'RE DEAD, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO NOW?!?!"
Oh and I like your guitar tone!
9/10
4/5: 4.16 / 5.00 (- 0.0090)

thanks

[MD2010 - War Theme #2]

SBB Said it all

So i'm going to go with his review, give you a 9, say it was really fucking sweet, and also give you a 5/5 and fave it.

Step responds:

Haha thanks. Actually I'm thinking of continuing it, would you mind if you record the guitars for me instead of me using a VST? :P.

Well anyway, thanks for the review!

[Guilty Life Pursuit(Update)]

Good

For a free guitar VST, it's really good. But it's just that, a free guitar VST, so it has it's downfalls regarding sound quality. Especially during the solos. Perhaps there's a VST in your free VST library just for solos? I use real guitar myself, so I wouldn't know where to look.
Drums are good, so is the bass, even for free VSTs.
The composition sounds like it could be in a racing game, but yet is has it's heavier parts, which I like.
Everything is hearable, and it's EQed quite nicely, excellent work!
9/10
5/5: 4.01 / 5.00 (+ 0.067)

[Tetra-Heathen]

Yeah I can see it... I mean hear it

Kinda reminds me of a song taken from an F-Zero game
Definately suits all three genres you mentioned (General Rock included)
Not my kind of metal-ishness, but still good and enjoyable!
Just one thing, turn up your percussion.

Fajita responds:

turn up your subs. you'll hear the percussion. but anywho, thanks for the review. be sure to check out my other songs and give me some feedback on them too!!

[Opaque Shards]

Brrr it's cold

Seriously, I'm getting chills listening to this song and it's gotta be about 30 degrees outside. Excellent representation of antarctica
That is all

Kirbyfemur responds:

Hehe, thanks! I'm Sort of surprised at how well this has been received so far. =3

[Ninja Gaiden 2 Intro (Alt.)]

Pretty good...

I haven't listened to the Ninja Gaiden 2 theme before, but I feel that this song is seriously missing percussion. If you were to add more percussion, it would make this song a hell of alot better!
But still, good job, I really like the use of panning from :55 to the end

4/5 (+.17)

treyhaur responds:

Some percussion would be great, only problem is I lost this project files in a crash. I've gotten really good feedback on this and the other NES stuff I did, so I've decided to go back and redo this one for sure. Stay tuned and thanks for the review!

[Tetris On The Toilet]

Holy shit

The vocals were epic, the lyrics were funny and the music was overall awesome!
Not much input I can put here, good work!

[Please Forgive My Sins]

Wait a minute....

Where's the lyrics?
When I first listened to this, I only listened to around 15 seconds then left... But now that I'm hearing the full song, I have to say that I don't know why I didn't listen to all of it the first time, because this song could literally kick any 0-bomber's ass from there to etheopia!
1 thing, I don't hear alot of bass guitar... Perhaps turn it up by 1-2 dB and that would make the song much juicier.
Other than that, I really really like it!
Fav'd
5/5 (4.21 [+.029])
10/10
Also I really like the backwards guitar at the end

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks dude, glad you dig it. The bass guitar is quite loud in this. Plus the little bass breakdown, but it just gets chalked up as personal preference I suppose. I may still add the lyrics, for anyone who wants to sing a long. haha. :_)
Thanks again, for the review and vote, dude!
