"Wow!"

submission: Rammstein - Spieluhr Rmx Demo

date: September 7, 2009

I don't generally like dance music, but this is a wicked remix of a really great song. Give it more length and a little less repetition, and it'll be a winner.

"Wow."

submission: Invention No. 1

Pretty fuckin' cool. A truly catchy tune you've got here, and the instruments really compliment each other.

5'd.

This is just damned excellent. You're up there in the stratos with XenoGenocide and MetalJonus now.

"Very nice."

submission: Musings in Bm -WIP-

The violin (or cello, or viola or whatever it was) is what really set this tune up for me. What it needs though is for the main rhythm to change the scale every now and then, 'cause right now the song seems monotonal. I know it's not a real word but you get the meaning.

Nice work, looking forward to the finished piece.

Score: 10

"Nice."

The mixing is better than the first, and the tone is also quite improved. Downloaded, 5'd.

Success. Awesome parody with a bitchin' solo. Can't go wrong.

Score: 10

"Holy shit."

submission: Mega Man 3 - Final Boss

date: May 21, 2009

I've never played much Mega Man, but who cares, this track is fuckin' rippin'. It's a perfect blend of heaviness and speed. The drums and bass complemented the guitar beautifully.

5'd and downloaded.

Score: 10

"Suprisingly good."

submission: No need to be nice!

date: May 21, 2009

The guitar wasn't supreme like most metal tracks on NG, it blended nicely with the other instruments.

The orchestral parts were fucking satisfying. Really loved the heavy drums.

The outro was a disappointment, a fade-out would have worked better.

5'd and downloaded.

Score: 8

"Ambient, but long-winded."

submission: Cry of War { Ambient Metal }

date: May 21, 2009

It's a pretty long song, and it all kinda fades into itself, not much variety. It sounds good, professional and solid, but hearing it over and over for 4 minutes isn't cool.

The guitar is the same thing, it's like four chords altogether.

This track is excellent, but it doesn't need to be four minutes long.

Score: 8

"Never heard the main part played with a single ax."

submission: Castlevania: Wicked Child

date: May 21, 2009

Or the part after played with a piano. It's pretty unique, but sounds better with guitar all the way through, a la Minibosses.

The beginning was flawlessly executed, awesome rhythm work.
