HDG's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pathways (GoreBastard) (_8n(')]

phenomenal!

wow, that's freakin excellent! i love it. kinda reminds me of Cemetery Gates, with the whole mood of the song and all. anyway, that was awesome. do more like this.

GoreBastard responds:

Cheers mate, glad you liked it... I did another kind of like this called Flowing Carpet, but this one is much better I think.
Oh, and I will definately make more slower quiet ones like this.

[Risen From the Fukin' Cemetary]

nicely done

although a lot of parts were painfully slow, it started to pick up around the middle, and had some really cool riffs and stuff. and for some reason, the audio sounded a little distorted. and this song is screaming for some vocals. lol. i'd do them for you if i could sing.... anyway, good job.

GoreBastard responds:

Thanks mate. The reason that this one sounds more distorted than usual is because I downtuned my guitar to make the intro part sound "evil as fuck".
I can do some pretty mean vocals, but I never get the chance to put them on my stuff... soon though, soon!!!

[Old School Metal 80s HairGore!]

awesome!

i loved it, man! that was so cool. i love the riffs and everything. excellent work. and the 0 voters can die.

GoreBastard responds:

Thanks mate, This is probably the only tune I've made without power chords dominating the whole track! I like it too, and yes, DIE ZERO VOTERS!!!
Thanks for the revieowuruw

[A short solo thing]

excellent.

i liked the sound of it. kinda short, but ehh, still pretty good. how do you get such a proffesional sounding recording??

Xm4e responds:

I use the GuitarPort to record witch has all the effects i need and records directly to the compter. Its a good investment.

[Lead Tapping]

cool.

cool. the beggining sounded kinda like Eruption... but yeah, tapping's not much i haven't seen (or perhaps 'heared'), but still yet, cool...

Metalholic115 responds:

Well, I have to say that Eruption kinda inspired this track. The solo was pretty simple and I went with tapping because it sounded pretty smooth. I'm surprised this is getting good reviews. Thanx for the review bro!

[Wrath of the Bastards]

awesome death metal!

sweet track. for a minute, i just thought it was mess of random heavy riffs, but it turned out to be really cool. it kinda changes throught the song, which makes it sound a lot better. anyway, cool song and keep up the good work.

GoreBastard responds:

Thanks man... You were right, it kind of was a mess of random heavy riffs. This one was heavily influenced by Deicide, hence the double bass blast beats.

[Minotor]

good..

nice track. well made and everything. but i wouldn't call that metal. i guess the vocals we kinda black/death metalish, but otherewise, it was more just like a heavier straight up rock sort of thing...

Mairuu responds:

thatnks for the response, you're probably right about the rock sort of thing. Meh...
Ben - Rhythem guitar

[Just (1.21)]

Excellent.

excellent sound quality. very proffesional sounding. great melody too. the guitars were really good, as were the vocals. it all came together real nicely...

Denvish responds:

Thanks, glad you liked the song :)

[Stolen Souls]

Hell Yeah!

this is by far your best yet! i love this one! great riffs, and great melody. not your best sound quality, but still a freakin excellent song. DEFINATELY get more like this in....

GoreBastard responds:

Cheers... Glad you like it... I'll work on more like this in the near future.

[Crunchfest]

awesome riffs.

i loved it. i love the riffs and everything. it sounded really cool. i wish it had some leads though. also, the quality wasn't very good, but i could here it well enough to tell that it was a pretty good song. the drums sounded clear though. i'm guessing it was a real drummer too. anyway, this one is great, just work on the quality and such...

FUNKbrs responds:

Thanks. I played drums on that track. I use SM57 dynamic mics mounted internally to get that sound, with my heads tuned way down low, and no resonant head. It doesn't have a lot of sustain, but when you want to play fast, sustain just makes you muddy.
