A new Pagan Fire Version....

where is the balls of some people to stick up for what you believe?

Believe in what, exactly? I'm sorry but "Yeaaaaah, fuckin' metaaalll! \m/_ ( > . < ) _\m/  *growling noises* UUUUUURRRRRGH *metal claw gesture*" is not a belief system.

Nightspirit, I'll get back to you a bit later.

Sadly you just proved the point as you just casually brushed it off.

I would and probably  those here as well, would like to know what you stand for and what your life has taught you, because dude, in my world, unless you tell me that you are physically.mentally, and spiritually strong, I believe you can not understand the pain and suffering that many endure. My life has taught me to be strong and to look deeper in most things that others may not have done.

I do not believe in "fuck yeah metal". I believe in the creativity it takes, the artistry, the spirit of not compromising. The "metal claw" is actually taken from my country as the cornuto dispelling "malocchio" the evil eye.

There is so much more to metal then you can believe or imagine, and because you dispel it does not make it less so. You yourself would really have to have balls to say that to someone IN PERSON.  I mean this in a humble manner because if you walked to some one and said"hey dude metal is shit and so is the belief in it" NECKS could be snapped in an instant if you do not take measure in who you say that to. It is a fair warning

Yes, I had a couple of fantastic beers tonight so I am a little brave, but sincerely  I speak  from my heart and mind. Be careful what you do and say because I seen death handed out too easy over the littlest of things, my friend.

The Last Battle, a Wheel of Time inspired song, and a demo I am working on..

I saw that you uploaded a newer version of this song that is 5:19 minutes long and I think the latest version is an improvement over the one you have linked here.  I think Cargest hit the nail on the head - the build up to 3:15 is golden.  Then there is a lull until basically 4:00 and then the badass endings.  If I'm understanding Cargest correctly then I also agree with him that you have a great opportunity at the 3:15 mark to take the song to the next level.  I actually think this song could withstand being made into a 7 minute song or even longer if what you came up with was compelling enough.  I think after a 3 minute build up what is called for is something more dramatic and climactic.  I think there needs to be something more urgent at that point of the song, not a "lull."  At face value, you hit the nail on the head with the "spirit."  What would be really compelling would be to listen to 3 to 4 songs in the 6 - 10 minute range in this style.

Now the older song, "Pagan Fire" with vokills by Sangue Lucano:  I like this song even better than "The Last Battle," in fact I think it's superb.  I don't know how to explain it, but the guitar work is mesmerizing.  There's almost something "catchy" about it although maybe the better word is "intuitive" in the sense that I could see a non-metalhead-but-musically-literate person intuitively grasp the logic of the melodies.  Or I would compare it to some of my own first encounters with good metal like say the Varathron side of the Necromantia/Varathron split or the Crush the Cenotaph EP by Asphyx.  The songs on those 2 releases have a forgiving learning curve and they make intuitive logical sense even to a novice, they are fun to listen to right off the bat, essentially; some metal you can appreciate on first listen, some you can't.  Pagan Fire basically never lets up and I think it works best that way, this is perfect as a 3:37 minute song.  The vokills actually won me over as well.  They are conspicuous, but for some reason it all works in the end.  I think the vocalist really committed to the death whispers and that's the biggest reason why it works.  The cadence of the vocals also seemed to be in sync with the urgency of the music and so I think you could say that as the song moves along the vocals become less conspicuous and the music does in fact win out.  This whole song also has a spontaneity about it.  Just like your other song, what would be really fun would be to listen to about 4 or 5 songs in addition to Pagan Fire, in the same style.

With the Last Battle, this was the very first song I have written over the four minute and above. It was challenging for to pace myself, as I have not had the best stamina for speed. But this comes better as I play everyday. Trust me when I say I taken everything in consideration when receiving tibits or advice. But I have to serious wonder what I can do to improve it. I believe I have locked it in my mind the song is the best I can do..,,for now.

Speaking for Pagan Fire, that was a song where I did not let up at all. Now that I upgraded my drum machine to Drumkit from Hell, and have a new killer amp, I believe it is time to record a new version. I cannot believe I did the vocals as well, so I hope I can do them justice like I did the first time.

Excellent band, and I do have fond memories when Wrath posted on the forum( same as Corey and Jason from Acerbus, and Antti from Demilich) 10 cycles ago! Knowing when to quit is better then hanging on to a thread and I would rather lose a great group then receive ten more in its place!

All Hail Averse Sefira!

I like the idea of a compilation. I am currently working on my project and maybe just maybe I will try to make some artwork or a booklet for it...

I always love your input! Much value to it! Of course this is going to reworked and vocals added at some point!
