[[ f ] Rise Of The Champions]

Nice

Great song man, but I feel like I could make some suggestions in order for you to get to around Zajed's level no offense. Heh, well yeah, here they are:

-Beat is a bit too overpowering over the other instruments, and speaking of the beat, I feel like you could vary it in general like at the song refrains or something, but that's really up to you.
-The strings sound kind of artificial and bland at times, like at the entrance at 22 seconds. I feel like you could incorporate more melodies that complimented and intertwined/flowed with each other in order to make the song sound more powerful in general. The weird pinging sound that started around 1:03 I felt like kind of detracted from the song. It just simply sounded weird...
-The cymbal crashes were kind of loud.
-The brass sounded pretty good, but like I said before, vary the melodies a bit, and that leads me to my next suggestion.
-Vary the whole song in general, it gets a bit too repetitive near the end, but it's not that much of a problem.

But yeah, all my bitching aside, the is a great song man, keep up the good work and keep this stuff coming, 4/5.

flashmac responds:

This is a good review. Thanks for all the tips man, they really helped. And I know what you mean about the song being repetitive but it's a hip hop song. If you heard any instrumentals for a hip hop song, there's virtually no change ups at all. As for the rest of your advice, I totally agree with you, the strings should've had more effects like reverb and stuff. Thanks for the really helpfull review man!

[Sacred Mountain]

Nice

To be honest, I don't really have any suggestions for this song. It's just simply good, although not really my style, but good none the less. Liked the drums and the guitar playing was great too. The song kind of reminded me of a western type scene and for some reason a Ford car commercial for a pick-up truck, heh, well yeah, great job and keep this stuff coming man, 5/5!

djt820 responds:

LOL! Ford? Those gas guzzlers? lol. This is Chevy Metal! =P
Thanks for the review mate!

[_-_Unforgotten Remix_-_]

I like it

The strings were nice, and I liked the beat and the piano usage was awesome. Only problem I had was that I found that the clap beat was a bit too overpowering, but ah whatever, great song either way, 5/5, keep this stuff coming!

[And The Heavens Shall Tremble]

Wow

Really cool, and thanks to this now I've found out about Diablo 3 (I played a bit of 2), haha. Anyway, great song. I'm a pretty big fan of yours especially your symphonic metal stuff. And now that I think about, it'd be kind of cool if you remixed this song with guitars, but meh, it doesn't really matter. Well yeah, keep this stuff coming man, 5/5, peace.

Devastus responds:

Yeah, from what I saw from the gameplay trailer, Diablo III's gonna be really awesome.

The way I did this song kinda prevents me from remixing this with guitars (and I don't usually like remixing my own work :P), but I'll keep on making those symphonic metal stuff aswell, don't worry :P

Thanks alot for your review.

[Turn of the Ages]

Nice

Not a big fan of the odd time signatures and offbeat rhythms because I think it makes the song sound kind of weird, but cuz' it's you Xeno, this song was still pretty much cool as hell. Love your guitar tone and of course your playing never fails to amaze me. 5/5, peace man. Oh and looking at my top 25 most played list on my iPod, here's my top five...

1. Edirol Orchestra is My Bitch - Jrayteam6 - Played 145 times
2. Crush, Kill 'n' Destroy - Xenogenocide - Played 119 times
3. Desert Rose - Metalcan - Played 100 times
4. Kicked In the Teeth - Xenogenocide - Played 87 times
5. The Unfathomable Cycle of Life - Xenogenocide - Played75 times

So yeah 3 out of the 5, that should tel you a lil' something man, haha.

[.:Z:.Together]

Nice

A pretty tight remix of "Remember the Name." I didn't really like some of the techno-ish noises that first came in at around 8 seconds, a bit on the annoying side. Strings and the beat/drums were great though. All in all, not your best work, but still pretty good, lookin' forward to your future projects; specifically Orchestra of Heaven, haha, later man, 5/5.

[The Summoning (orchestral)]

Wow

I have to agree, it does sound a lot like that other song, but damn, either way this piece is beyond EPIC. Good use of choir, brass, amazing guitar playing, and all in all, an on the spot EARgasm. Great job man, 5/5, 10/10, and DL'ed. You are now officially one of my favorite metal artists here on NG. Keep this epic symphonic metal stuff coming! Peace.

[Carvellas Castle]

Nice

I liked this song, good mix of organ and drums as well as various other instruments I'm too lazy to name. But the one thing that bothered me though was the fast beat. I feel a like a slow, dramatic kind of bass beat would've worked better with a song of this type and mood. But I don't know, I'd probably have to hear it first. But all in all, great song man, keep it up! 5/5, peace.

cazok responds:

Half of you want the beat to be faster, half of you say it should be slower.
In other words; The tempo is as good as it could be :)

[Incoming Sludge]

Good stuff

Nice, the guitar tone kind of reminded me of Iron Man for some reason. I liked the bass entrance and the drums were nice when they came in. I wasn't a fan of the stick hits or whatever you call them. And the guitar in general after the stick hits sounded weird and off-beat. It got cool when the drums came in again but some parts sounded kind of weird. Pretty good song though man, 4/5, peace.

Babaganoosh99 responds:

Ya i recorded each verse. I know what you mean by the weird sound, when I put the recording on my editing program it sounded different and dull. No effects were added. It was a weird glitch that messed up my song. Guess I have to live with it.

[K-Dm - Tears Of Mist]

Nice

Nice song man, here's my comments on it.

-The piano noise at the beginning was kind of weird but I guess it suits the song.
-The faint piano was nice, suited the song, although it got a a bit overpowered at times by the beginning melody, which I think it's supposed but it still sounded strange all the same.
-Liked the piano interlude that started around 1:06. The piano started sounding a lot better near the end in general.
-A bit repetitive, I don't know, your songs seem to be getting repetitive lately, running out of ideas? Haha
-I feel like the usage of strings would've worked well in this song, which I don't think it had.

Well nice job man, but I've heard better, 5/5 anyway though, peace.

K-Dm responds:
