[SiCk NiCk guitar solo]

Sounds ok

It sounds ok, there are just a good bit of mistakes and sloppiness in there, I can see talent in there, but you do need more practice, just keep on practicing man, if there weren't as many mistakes or sloppiness it really wouldn't sound all that bad, keep going at it man.

Thanks for your vote, jdh504! You voted 5 for SiCk NiCk guitar solo, raising its score from 0.00 to 5.00.

yo man thanx for the rating and review it does sound kinda sloppy because my recording system is very cheap believe me it took forever to even make it sound that good

[Another Heavy Loop of DEATH!!!]

Cool riff

This is definitely a cool riff, I have to say though, I'm not a fan of the tone, but I don't completely hate it either, for what it is though, it's a really cool riff, hopefully you'll decide to make a full song with it, or just a full song in general haha, hope to hear more from you.

Thanks for your vote, jdh504! You voted 5 for Another Heavy Loop of DEATH!!!, raising its score from 4.50 to 4.60.

speedmetalmessiah responds:

I somewhat agree with the tone, I just felt like using my Digitech since I hadn't in quite a while. Glad you like the riff though man.

[Cannibalistic Intentions]

I think one word describes it..

Insane, and brutal...and crazy..well yeah a lot of words can describe it probably, but I think you get the idea, it's an awesome song. In the start I feel like I'm watching the intro to a horror movie(which was awesome), and of course later on I feel like I'm watching someone eat people(or listening to someone eat people). Overall, it's definitely a kickass tune, very well done, hope to hear some more from you.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Haha, thanks for the review man! Definitely more of these little wankers to come. I quite enjoy makin them.

Thanks again!\m/

Very Soothing

I'd have to say, it's surprising to hear this awesome mellow song right over a song call this hate inside us haha...but both are definitely awesome. This is a great melodic song, it was very well done, sounds very professional...obviously I have nothing but great things to say about this song, awesome job man, it's definitely nice to see people who can play awesome heavy songs, and then make an amazing slow melodic song as well, hope to hear more from you.

DarKsidE555 responds:

Pretty strange combo, ey? XD

Glad you liked both songs dude. Yeah, it's pretty cool if you can play more styles than just one. I mean, I like to play heavy shit but sometimes I need something calm and relaxing to let out some steam.

Thanks for checking it out man!

[Peel Your Skin (instrumental)]

Great instrumental

THis is a very awesome instrumental man, one part that makes it all the better is the drums, very kick ass drums you have there. There are definitely tons of great riffs in there that of course, will peel your fucking skin off haha, keep em coming man, hope to hear more.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks bro! EZDrummer for the drums. Plus some kick samples that I made.
Too bad I had to down the quality a bit. It drives me nuts to hear the swirly static, just audible when I dropped the quality. Damn NG and the 4 mb limit. haha.

Thanks for the awesome review, man!\m/

Kickass

This song definitely kicks some major ass. One thing I wanna ask first, is the singing at the start just "ba bada ba ba badadadada"(sorry, that's the best rendition of that I could do on the keyboard haha) cause I was trying to listen for lyrics there but it sounded like he was just screaming the rhythm. Anyways, everything about this song is awesome. The guitar playing is very nice, as is the singing, I can definitely tell who's singing which parts. Your voice is still kickass as well, went great with the song. The screaming also sounded pretty good, reminded me of arch enemy's screamer, did he use any effects for the screaming? Anyway, this song has an awesome sound to it, and it was definitely put together well, great job on this song.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Yeah, there is a bit of a story behind the "bababa's"...relating to strung out junkies. haha. Elf's screaming is among the best I have ever heard. As far as I know, its just Raw voice, no effects. Just a bit of compression. I think it fit well into the song as far as the progression of it.

Glad you liked the song man! Thanks for the awesome review!\m/

[The Longing Inside]

Great Song

Sorry it took me so long to look at your music, better late then then never right? Well, the intro reminded me a lot of something that I'd hear from Opeth, just a little less evil sounding, but it'd be hard to top them anyways. I really like the build up the song has, it's not too fast or too slow of a build up, it's just right. I also like how it goes back to soft in the end, sounds real nice. Some very nice solo work in there as well, as someone else said, I as well could imagine hearing someone perform this live, great song man, hope to hear more from you.

BazookaZombie responds:

thanks a lot. and no problem, late review is better than no review. i had a lot of fun playing the leads for this one. i'd say about 80% improvised. i just knew ehre certain changes in the song occured and planned what to play at the changed for smoother transitions.
thanks for the review man, and i should have a new one up within a week or two. maybe i'll drop by your page when its up. its currently lacking a second lead track, a bass line, and eq-ing.

[Thunderlord]

Awesome Song

This song sounds cool, lots of cool riffs in there, definitely something worthy of headbanging, which I have just finished doing after listening to it haha...but yeah, awesome song man, sounds really great.

Chrizzly responds:

Thanks, dude, appreciate it!
These latest 2 tracks have been pretty short, working on some longer ones at the moment.
They'll probably be uploaded soon too, hopefully...

Another Wonderful Piece

So I decided to drop by and review another one of your songs. This one is as I expected, brilliant as the other one was. Your pieces seem so well brought together, I can understand you not wanting to do this for money or anything, I can definitely see where you're coming from, hell I'd be happy just having the guitar skill of the likes of John Petrucci or Steve Vai and not making a dime from it. Oh and this has done everything but deter me from my ambitions, it's definitely inspired me. I can only hope to be able to make music and wonderfully as you can someday, but I know if I keep practicing I can reach that goal if I want it bad enough. Thanks for the wonderful advice though, I hope to hear more songs from you soon man, keep up the awesome work.

MaestroRage responds:

hello again jdh504!

I am glad to hear you have found inspiration in these pieces. I am confident you can get wherever you want to, and even beyond that with the right amount of patience and eagerness. I don't have any musical training myself, and so don't think that you have to go through training to get anywhere. It helps no doubt, but if you have the strength and will, you will attain the skill one way or another.

I will keep bringing more tunes to the table, as I hope you will to. I'd like to see what you would be able to do in a year or so. Keep up the good fight!

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

Awesome Music

After reading your reviews, it appeared that you knew what you were talking about, so when I looked at your music, not to my surprise, it is amazing. Obviously there really aren't any complaints. It's just so well made, the feel of it is incredible, like something I would hear in a movie trailer. You should definitely be making music for movies, games, or something of the sort, cause this music sounds incredbile, very professional, and just overall incredible. Awesome work man, keep up the great work.

MaestroRage responds:

ah jdh504! I am glad you decided to drop by :).

I hope what you heard here today didn't deter you from your own ambitions. We all start somewhere, and I hear some real potential in your pieces. Keep practicing, and keep them coming, and along the way you will pick up tricks and methods.

I will of course be willing to help you if at some point you would want my assistance.

Also, I do compose for some online games, but I don't think I will do it for money. That is simply not where I want to take my music.

I am glad you liked the works, they are there for that reason. Thank you for the review!
