[Les Mortes Miserables]

Love it

Solo bass can be a difficult task to play and keep people entertained. You, sir, did everything right in your playing. Masterful melodies and a great lay out of a track. A sweeping dramatic piece you have here. I do encourage you to make more tracks like this because I think this is your calling. Fantastic job.
Also, I know this is a big thing to ask but would it be possible to get tabs to this? I'd shit myself trying to learn this by ear.
Again, great shit man.

MindOverMatt responds:

Damn! I don't know what to say other than I'm really glad that you dig this. I also love doing "ambient" bass tracks, they always offer so much room for exploration. And as for the tabs, I believe I could work that out pretty easily. It just might take some time. Thanks a lot for the encouragement! I'll PM ya soon...

[Realization of All(demo)]

Fucking raw dude.

Raw production. Suits the tune pretty well. Sounds like Im listening to a b-side off Death's Indivdual Thought Patterns album. Haha. Keep pumpin that bass dude!

MindOverMatt responds:

Even a comparison to Death's b-side is flattering! Cool dude! Thanks,
Matt

[Goodbye, love.]

Remarkably similiar to Radiohead indeed

Its a pretty good song but is lacking. The production is very dry. If you improve on this song and expand it and assuming from your info for this song, Im expecting a non-strictly acoustic version. Haha. Its pleasant and catchy but needs MORE. My names Dylan too btw =D

DylanGlow responds:

I can't tell you how much I agree with the dry production. I'm at the point where I really can not stand the horrible recording equipment I have... not to mention the lack of a band. I'm not really too interested in the whole one-man-band idea. I didn't take the time to fiddle with the mixer as much as I should have and I just rushed the recording. Also, I desperately need an instrument mic. I'm thinking of the Shure SM57 model and that should really increase the instrument quality; pick-ups on acoustic guitars are shit to me. >.> But yes, you are very right! I will definately work on this song more and hopefully get some people to help out with the song! Thank for the review Dylan! ^_^

[Arctic Combustion (Bard&PBomb)]

Damn brutal

Like a mix between Carcass and Between the Buried and Me. The middle of the track with that synthy thing is great. I cant comment on the production because Im listening through fucked headphones. Great song construction and everything though. I love it. Keep it up!! \m/

TheBardOfBlasphemy responds:

awesome man... thank a lot!

[Skullfucked (Bard&FCDX collab)]

God damn intense

Sounds like a mix between Carcass and Devin Townsend. LOL. This is quite brilliant. Love the lyrics. Production was tight, REALLY tight. Like that girl's eyehole. MORE!!

TheBardOfBlasphemy responds:

thanks man... that's high praise!

[Mac8 - Emerging From Solitude]

I love it

Beautiful and emotional. Great piano work. I loved the melodies. Not cliche 'sad' but it gets the job done. Only thing I could recomend is Highten the strings volume and add some more reverb.

SinJim responds:

Thanks for the comments, and I think that I may go back and adjust the strings, or redo them entirely. I tried more reverb on the piano; however, it kind of took over the song. I felt that the simple reverb got the point across and I liked how it sounded better. Thanks for review!

[Preview of Song (Heavy Metal)]

Sounds alot like Death

This will probably be another great song of yours. Reminds me alot of my favorite band, Death. Cant wait for the final product, Bad Man! \m/

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks man. Glad you dig.
Death,ey?
Cool.

[The Case]

Damn good.

Very quality stuff. Melodies intwined (sp?) rather good. There were some things I did have problems with:
The bass drum was far too thumpy and kind of over-shadowed the melodies.
ITS TOO SHORT! My god man, this is a very good song, mate, but its too short. Extending this would definately be a good idea.
Again, great song man. Keep up the great work!

TimeBender responds:

hello! goodbye!

thank you!

[Bring The Pain (FT Metaljonus)]

This over-impressed me

Your best track ever. Dude, this song is so fucking metal! Those solos really brought this song alive and it sounds phenominal! Everyone goes together so perfectly and makes you want to throw shit around. *adds to list of songs I can rock the fuck out to*
Congrats on making such a great song dude.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thank you dude.. I see you uploaded some bagpipe metal! I'm on my way to check that out!

[This song is called satan]

Good concept

I liked the intro but then.....it got repetitive a bit. The sidestick gets annoying very quickly but I loved the diversity in the middle of the track. You need more guitar in the track. lol. Fix that sidestick and lower the reverb on the guitar and make it stereoized as well and we might have an audio of the week.

UntitledWhite responds:

I agree... i initially duplicated the guitars and panned them out stereo, but for some reason, my music program would make one guitar go .5 seconds faster than the other and i coudln't fix it. Yea, i did add a shitload of compression on the drums so i can see how they would get annoying. I broke a guitar string so i can't add any supplemental guitar pieces to it. As i've said, its a collaberation effort and we'll see what Jay comes up for it... But i'm totally stoked that you enjoyed it.
