this is not a "critique me" thread, more a "omg im bragging because im super proud" thread. screams / composition / all instruments / drums by me. lyrics are half half between me and my associate, all clean vocals done by my associate. associate = Jayden from www.myspace.com/zzenith :D  | ||

The weakest part I think is the clean vocals. There's not a lot of punch in them and just sort of feel weak. There was also a weird volume dip just before the first chorus. That was kind of weird. Very nice job, though. (: | ||

Hmmm... I'm surprised you think the cleans are weak. I for one think Jayden has a fantastic voice, it must be the way i've mixed them or the fact that it's a shitty 70 dollar behringer condenser mic haha. Yeah the volume dip was my way of trying to make the first chorus "kick in." It was tricky to perfect that part but I'm more pleased with the result than a lot of the other options. Thanks for the comments dude! | ||

Anyway, yeah, it's nothing on the vocalist. His voice just doesn't really cut through the mix, I think. Thanks for posting these. Keep 'em coming! | ||

But I disagree with PH with the cleans. The Cleans were great for hard rock etc, but the screams were definitely weak. Drumming is ok, same with the guitar, but it's all really... predictable. Not saying your music's bad! I enjoyed the song. It was just a tad bit too safe for me, and I couldn't see myself listening to an album worth of it. | ||

not sure how a 9/4 time sig with a 4/4 lead going over it (and 4/4 vocals) leading into some 5/4 shit is "safe" though  and I thought my screaming was nice  thanks for the comment though! | ||

lolol you people amuse me, try to record something that sounds better first plz first of all - the clean vocals, my first thought also was that they didnt sound very strong, but only for 3 seconds (0:34-0:37) after that they sound great and fit the music perfectly. I know it's supposed to have that effect so that the part when he sings "very last time" sounds even stronger but that part just didnt quite sound right. Oh and later on at 2:41 the quiet part "from where I stand.." I think you should just turn up the volume of the ("normal") vocals,they are not loud enough compared to the guitars. I do love the last "from where I stand" before the chorus hits though. Anyways I only wrote that because of the bitching about vocals I actually was gonna listen to the OP saying On October 29 2009 15:28 Last.Midnight wrote: this is not a "critique me" thread :D Because after all this is some fucking well produced music, considering this was all done at home its impressive just how good and professional it sounds. And no your screaming isn't weak, it's pretty damn good, I can think of several bands with a record deal that have a worse shouter. Your growls in the background sound very good as well. Of course there are still some idiots on TL who apparently didnt read the OP and want to bitch cause its not their kind of music and want to start another discussion about what is truely metal, just get off your fucking horse please, thank you. Good job broseidon! + Show Spoiler + lol that word is funny | ||

Where there was no screaming was solid though in my opinion. | ||
