[Planet Caravan - Cover]

Yes, man! You nailed it. To think that there was a clean voice hiding within that sludge-filled septic tank.

the only thing more i wanted was some trippy fx layers to complement this stoner track.

makes me want to dig out the old lps. Haven't listened to this in a fair while.

good job man!

GoreBastard responds:

Haha thanks man!
Yeah I wish I put some keyboards on it. I recently bought a cool midi keyboard but couldn't really find and cool sounds to use.

Thanks for listening man, more to come soon!

[Exemption]

fucking awesome man

killer vox... who knew you had those in ya?!?!?!

I was totally surprised by the clean vox, they were pretty good, and your metal vox have come a long way.

great stuff!

Devastus responds:

Thanks man! The cleans are still underway, getting better at this every day (I'm already much better at them than I was when recording this :P). (whoa, a rhyme)

Be sure to be on the lookout for the next one, it's gonna be fucking violent!

[ThisMangledRottingWorld [V.2]]

ahhhhhh

sigh of relief

fuck i screamed my guts out for this one... it was intense... i think you can really hear that edge of insanity during the section following the chilled section... by that stage i was beyond redemption

fucking good fun you boys did a killer job... solos at the end are mega-hot man... like you said metal is not all shred - it's all about style and that solo had all that!

Deathcalypse responds:

Thanks bard! \m/

[Cast to the Sky [V.1]]

great riffs

especially liked the section beginning around 0.30 very nasty tempos in there. The outro also kicked arse!

melody sections sounded very good... with the right vocals this will be a killer track.

as mentioned below, though... the song stands on its own... vocals or not this rocks!

Deathcalypse responds:

Thanks Bard! I had sort of planned this song to have vocals on it by Wahnnsin, so it'll be kick ass.

[Strykjärn - Destruktin]

wow

easily the most brutal, tight and ferocious piece of metal i've heard on NG in frikkin ages.

i kinda wish there was a solo in there somewhere...

hey i'm lookin' at your myspace page and you've got a vocalist... how come he hasn't added to this yet? or did you upload a vox-free track as these get used more often in flash animations?

man this was cool

Dimoria responds:

Well it's actually because I live like 160 km from the other guys and I have recording gear myself. But for Micke etc to lay the vokills he needs to get to my place etc but he hasn't. So it's only my "take" in the song. But we all know it in my band.

[MangledRottingWorld [COLLAB.]]

great job boys

vox soon... i'm pretty happy with the lyrics and i'm pretty sure they will complement the style of music you boys have come up with here.

fucking great job, by the way. I love the sound of the bass gtr in the middle channel of the mix... fucking fat and great tone.

cool solos... who did 'em? and great tempos and strum patterns in the riffwork.

yeh... ummm... watch this space i'll try and get the vox done by the weekend at the latest :D

\m/

Deathcalypse responds:

Thanks man! I did the solos :D

[Cyanyde - Sea of Blood]

nice slow grind & headbang

great tone in the gtrs

will sound fuckin hot with some mad vox (possibly what the wankereview was unable to articulate in his own words) the originality of most songs comes with the vox eh?

ha good solo too great song all round i say

Demon-Slayer12 responds:

Yeah dude, I'm trying to write lyrics now, hopefully I can come up with something cool. Ive got a pattern in my head, but the words aren't quite flowing out as easily as I'd like haha, but glad you dig the tune all the same man. Thanks bro!

[Eternity of Torment]

bass?

did you chuck a bass track on this? (couldn't hear it but i'm currently limited to shitty computer speakers... even though it's a song up the fret board it would still benefit from bass.

despite that question/criticism this was frikkin' awesome, fast and mad.

look forward to the polished versions! who's doing vox on them?

check out my latest metal track if you get the chance. If you want, I could add vox to a track for you, at some stage.

Demon-Slayer12 responds:

yeah theres bass, but the treble was a bit high, I tried to make it sound bigger, but might have went a little overboard.. I had a singer lined up, but we got no lyrics, and its hard to get vocals recorded without bothering anyone. I'll pm ya when I finish the lyrics man, maybe you can give it a shot.
Glad you dig the tune man, cheers!

[Blackened cover (w/o vox)]

fuckin' great job

really does miss the vox though eh?

tone is actually pretty good... metallica weren't much fatter in their tone at this stage of their career. Good luck in the comp.

Demon-Slayer12 responds:

Vocals are coming soon..once I get my bass playing friend to record his own bass track that he wrote for this song, seeing how you couldn't hear any bass on the album anyway lol
Glad you dig it dude, thanks!

[Prey For Exsistance]

fat

love the subtle shifts of 4/4 to 3/4 in the drum fills and the drums are good... guitars are sick... the song itself never gets old so many change ups in tempo & mood

haha awesome breakdown at 2.00 didn't see that coming!

great track man... probly my fave yet from you guys

BloodGauntlet responds:

thanks heaps man = ) its my favourite too XD
