Crueldeity's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Theme]

It's good to see you still writing stuff dude! I remember you pumping out many tracks back in the day and it seems you haven't stopped. I dug your sounds then and I still do man. \m/ good stuff!

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

I always try to keep em comin!!

[Empty Chambers (v.2)]

This is pretty cool man, I like the mix and the placement of the drums. Sounds very "brooding" with those organs behind things. If I may ask if you used a slayer vst at all? If so, you have made a good setting, with myself having tried for years to mess with Slayer until I inevitably bought ministry of rock guitars. good track PENTA!

PENTAhazardous responds:

Hi dude. First of all thank you for your very kind words man, greatly appreciated. Now about the track, I'm not using for quite some... long time FL Slayer bro, it really sucks tbh. I used to use it with some of the first Amplitubes... to me back then it sounded new and interesting but it was quite a stupid thing to do because Slayer already had distortion added to it (the preset I was using)... For some years now I'm using Kontakt and Shreddage X (try Shreddage 2 and didn't liked it much...) and as amplifiers and distortion Guitar Rig 5 or a very small plugin JCM900. Will re-write this one in the future for I'm not satisfied with the sound... guitar tones and some keyboards passages which are waaaay too much in the front... and maybe change something to the structure of the track toward the end... It has a... well emphasized atmosphere this tune... but there's still work to do to it... hopefully I'll get the time. Thanks man, will check your profile out as soon as I get some time. Horns up! \m/

[The Ethers Gift]

This is pretty awesome man! It reminds me of Kreator or some early Exodus. I dig your mixing and the overall flow of this beast. Well done dudes! \m/

EtherealDecimation responds:

Thank you for stopping by and checking us out, we are glad to hear you have enjoyed the music! Stay tuned /.,/

[Arctic Wraiths]

Reminded me of the intro bit from advent children, with the low cello or violin spiz strumming. Incredible mixing here too, one thing I seem to fall short on, but you have nailed it. Get a nap dude, you earned it heh.

LunyAlex responds:

Advent Children, hmm, the animated movie? Used to watch it and go nuts when I was younger. Loved the style. Need to rewatch it. I like the association :D

Glad you like the mixing. Metal is harder to mix than Orchestral IMO, so there's that.

Cheers for the review!

[Kingdom of Dragons]

I really enjoy this! The mixing and mastering is well done. being a Skyrim fan myself, totally could hear that deep vocal vibe. Good stuff Electron.

DL2Electron responds:

FUS RO DAH!

[LostFantasy -Instrumental]

I love the flow of this song, It had great depth and sporadic time movements before the 2:40 mark which I dig a lot in any genre. Impressive piece man.

sybilsmith responds:

Thanks!!! It's going to be a hip hop song actually hahaha, but I wanted to switch it up.

[Titanium Assault]

Holy shit.

Excellent sound quality, what did you use to record? Fucking epic guitar work all around, the lead riffs instantly kept me hooked. The vocals are brutal, this totaly rules. But i can't stress enough how well the sound quality is, i wish i could get the same quality from fruityloops but it's so damn hard. Anyways great work from all of ya, glad theres another metal king amongst us. (lol) Definately need to collab or something if your interested. Horns ! \m/

Devastus responds:

Thanks for the input, dude. I'm quite amazed at how well I got things together too. Trial and failure, you see :P

I use Cakewalk Sonar for recording and composing, and it required alot of nitpicky mixing and mastering to get the whole song into this state. It's sometimes rather annoying since you have to wiggle around with all kinds of plugins and buttons, but I guess I have a liking for that :P

Thanks for your review. \m/

[Miles Of Snow]

Sick as hell bro.

I usually stick to metal, but this is very entertaining, (bong hit) i love the randomness of the dj splices and very tranquil piano behind the chaos. it can be calm and wicked the next, which is very awesome about progressive music. I really enjoyed this man, outside of my normal box, but it still tickled my ear drums in a way only metal could have. good work bro, keep advancing.

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

Haha, yeaaah man, fill them lungs and ears up with sweet sweet pleasures. I'm glad this works for you, even outside of your usual listening style. That's really cool to hear. You should check out some other tunes. You may like as well : D

[Heavy (pt 2)]

Superb!

Heavy as 3 ton squirrel with the fat-leg complex. that doesn't need to make sense, just accept your 5 and 10. \m/ and check out some of my metal works. I think twilightNecro is doing lyrics for one my tracks. but anyway hails and i look forward to your project.

deathkllr84 responds:

Hey man, thanks. I really enjoy your stuff, not sure if I reviewed them or not. I'll go do that now.

Yeah the project will be crazy. \m/

[Dead Soul]

definately interesting

pretty good work with slayer, like the eq settings and stuff. don't really got any negatives, but if you really want to shine in the metal world, i'd upgrade your slayer with Ministry Of Rock. google that, and if you want to hear what it can do, check out some of my new works. you've got potential, and with the right sound, you'd stand out definately.

LC-666 responds:

Wow Tnks man =D
yeh I'll google that!
i really want some better guitars =/ i hoep this can help =)
tnks ^^
