Hmm, some damn good shit you got going. I like it. In fact I just requested an add. What do you play. It annoys me for some reason when people post their bands and don't even say what they play.

God I hate when bands do this. The song starts out all peachy sounding with clean vocals, then turns to deathmetal growling halfway through. Pick a sound and stay with it, both styles don't work well together.

I thought it was good. But I agree with Mike. It's very difficult to be able to change from mellow to death and do it properly (unless you're Opeth :bigwink:).

I have to agree with this.

In this case when you mix the screaming/growling and singing, it sounds more like hardcore or at the most metalcore, but not metal. Like it has already been said, pick one and stick with it.

This music sounds very cliche. Like I've heard it a dozen times before.

i dont like the vocals - with the exception of a7x, screaming/growling doesn't do it for me. (i like the clean vocals, though)

i like the instrumentals, though

Me neither. I've always hated Meat Loaf.

Agree with Mike.

I enjoyed the first 59 seconds, but the growling thing doesn't do it for me. Not really true metal to me.

The Old Dead Tree does the clean voc's and death metal voc's quite well. Try em out.

Opeth fucking sucks. I tried to give em a chance, and seeing them live just made me hate them even more. Most boring band ever, I left after 4 songs. However, Dark Tranquility tore shit up.

The regular singing voice is Eh at best. Sounds kinda pitchy.

The "hardcore" voice just sounds bad. Like, really bad. Im not a fan of the scream thing, but can respect that some people sound good with it. This one, just too high pitched, and doesnt fit with the music.

Going from soft to metal reminds me of World Wrestling Entertainment entrance themes.

well, just take out the singing and you have a decent song...basicly what Mike said. Pick one style of vocals and stick with it, I would pick the non-screaming but thats just my opinion.

If your insistent that you want both then i would recommend separation to different parts of each song. for example, have the standard singing at the start and then change it into screaming for the second half. Maybe you could split it up between the verses. Have screaming for the verses and then a clean chorus or whatever. AT LEAST make sure they are not singing together overlapping because it sounds shit and it honestly ruined the music for me.

Good luck...

bravo, get off the band wagon my friend this sound will die out soon. it's not ROCK you might as well be in boy band its all the same.


the vocals are one of those situation where you fell embarassed for someone else. It's a 16 year old trying to sound like Greg from Dillinger Escape Plan. It's sounds like you are joking around trying to make a scary halloween voice. c'mon dude break some new ground this fad is done.

Screaming bands suck. It sounded so good at the begining then goes into this heavy shit (you know, like the ones that clog the toilet). And if you got some clean sounding vocals and not such heavy distortion on the guitar it might be good. When the Heavy metal sounding guitar comes in at 32 seconds... That is just too much and off timed sounding. It is up to you though. You won't get anywhere sounding like that. But it is only my opinion.
