[An Early Demise]

It's alright

I dunno, a type of song like this seems like it should be sung by someone with a more...mature voice. Your guitar playing is good enough for these pieces, but try to get someone with a lower voice to sing these sings, it's kindda distracting... or wait a year or two. The lyrics are decent, they at least tell a story. I did seem like you were looking rhyming words though in places. Nice effort though!

[In a land of War and Hatred]

Great stuff

All of your music is well written. It sounds good with synthesised instruments, but it would really shine with a real orchestra. The piano parts could use some developing, but great themes and ideas. Do you study music? If not, I can promise you your music would get much more polished if you study classical forms and theory.

Keep at it, you're going places!

5/5

MaestroSorrow responds:

I thank you, to be honest, I don't even know the major/minor keys on a keyboard. Everything I make, I make by ear T-T.

But your right... one day I must sit down and learn music theory properly, because I feel I could be much better.

[ParagonX9 - Polar 240]

Nice stuff

Loved the meoldy, and I can definately see the castlevania sound. Great stuff, I love all your music. Keep up the awsome stuff, it's great to see you writing music again!

[0 Gravity]

Great party music

Awsome panning, and a nice heavy beat. Definately party music. Love the sounds, you've got some nice talent flowing in your veins. Awsome, keep up the great work :)

Metalcan responds:

Thanks! :)

[-Generic Intense Battle-]

Yes, well done

I agree with what Flashburn says, very aztec/Mayan-esk sounding. I wouldn't call this an "Intense Battle", and the drums could certaintly be a bit louder, but minor drawbacks to an amazing piece. Plus, it loops pretty well too. you get a 5/5 from me :).

(P.S if you get a chance check out one of my pieces and leave a rate/review :) )

[Musical Rodent]

Nice stuff here

I loved the intro, it really set up the rest of the piece. I was not expecting it to go to electronica during the intro, but it worked well. It's very original, although random in spots. I'm not really hearing a rodent in this, but what the hell, it was nice anyway. You get my five :).

(If you get a chance take a look at my stuff too!)

Oijoink responds:

Dude! Thanks man! I appreciate your review! Glad you like it!

I'll someday check out your stuff! Sorry I'm very busy at the moment. Just keep looking at your tracks to look if you have my reviews. :P

Cya!

[(_RGH_) The Serpents Sin(Weep)]

Haha nice and mellow

Very ambient and mellow. I liked it, the piano was a great touch. Yes, the dropping was a little repetitive, although it did sound neat. I though it was great, you get my 5 :).

[FBX1 - Escaping Winters G]

Another great piece!

I'm suprised that you have put out all this great music and not have any of it in a flash submission yet! Only a matter of time, I'm sure. If I made flash, this would definately go in it. I liked the (wind)chimes throught the piece, it added a neat effect. Definately sounds like a winter piece. Bravo!

Flashburn responds:

Thank you for the kind words, its especially appreciated due to the fact that they are coming from someone as talented as you!

[Flashburn - Red Raver]

Nice instrument balance!

This is a great piece of music, and you balanced the instruments extremely well. I could pick out every part, and nothing overpowered anything else. Even towrad the middle when all of the synths are playing at the same time, it worked. Awsome music you got here!
