So uhh, since I last posted my bandcamp page, I've written material for another album, and put them together into a double-demo of sorts. It's got real guitar this time, and vocals, so I'm going to physically release it.

It's up here on YouTube for those who want to hear it: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA2D624ADD44C676C&feature=plcp

Well I've gone and finished a song if anyone wants to hear

This is pretty blatant in it's Burzum (read: Det Som En Gang Var from Hvis Lyset Tar Oss) thievery, as well as a few helpings of of some 0peth progressions here and there in the first five minutes. As such, even though my opinion means nothing to anyone still using this site, I'd avoid this like the plague. The entire structure of the song is borrowed from the song I referenced previously, and quite frankly, you've already all heard this before.

That said, speaking for the riffs themselves, there are definitely some great ideas being unearthed here. Get yourself a drummer, change the vocal style to operatic or something at least discernable, and start exploring more of what you began at 10:21.

Well funny you should mention 0peth cause I haven't listened to them in a few years. I get what you mean about the Burzum worship, I guess it was always intentional from the beginning but I wouldn't say it's outright thievery, but hey whatever

And also funny you said I should explore more of 10:21, because I've cut that entire section off now and just ended it there, haha, ah well

Thanks for the replies. Yeah I'll admit, most of the songs I write are generally written in a really short burst within a few hours, and very VERY little thought goes into the structuring. Some of it, I think, turns out really well in the structure but yeah as you said, a few songs need variation and 'bad parts' trimmed off which I feel like I did with the songs on my bandcamp but definitely not that song with the vocals. Anyway, thanks again for the comments, I really appreciate it

I want to add vocals to that so badly, or hear it with vocals from the artist. Drum machine or not this is unbelievably good stuff. I'll be keeping my eye out for this band.

yeah thanks man, i recorded a track with vocals here if you want to hear them http://soundcloud.com/dead-hills/leaves-of-ash

Oh I didn't even notice this topic haha

I've made some stuff and a topic for it http://www.deathmetal.org/forum/index.php/topic,16122.0.html

I call it a demo because it has no vocals, a drum machine and all the guitar parts were recorded with a pitch-shifted bass. Hugely influenced by Transilvanian Hunger although I didn't really notice that until after I had recorded it all.

I've posted this on a few other forums but I wanna hear any harsh criticism or thoughts from this site because this is where I found most of the music I listen to nowadays, cheers

I guess I need to have a good think about this. Next year I'll be finished high school and I'll be taking a break year in Vanuatu (the idea is to get away from society), but after that I really don't know.

But what if you are Prozak?

Shut up Prozak. Us parts of Prozak's mind (all of us) must work together otherwise this forum will look as if it's falling apart.
