Kogasu's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Castle Interior]

Would be cool to hear the original one but yeah, rules are rules. This is great though instrumentation and all. You hit the nail right on the head, this would be perfect for Castlevania.

ILG924 responds:

Thanks, it's good to know the instrumentation isn't too bad.
If you still want to know how it sounded originally, I uploaded it to another site.

[Leader of Tyranny]

Epic song and a great way to demonstrate the pickups with the clean sections. I really like the sort of different moods of this one and the sections where you go a bit outside of the genre a bit. They blend well together without seeming out of place. Also, 6:16.... kick ass transition there heh. Well done and great job on this!

Metallica1136 responds:

Thanks dude! Yeah, i really like the clean tone with the EMG's, I decided to show it off in this song, as you can see. I'm glad you like the song man, thanks!

[The Hourglass]

YES! Very kick ass stuff my man. Keep those thrashy riffs going. I really like the harmonized leads you made here. Sounds very awesome. Great job!

Metallica1136 responds:

Thanks man! I'm really glad you dig it!

[Moonlight Sonata (Intro)]

Very nice! I was always very fond of "Moonlight Sonata" as well it has a very haunting melody. Great job with this also.

Metallica1136 responds:

Thanks man, yeah, the song is quite a piece!

[The Dream Factory]

Wow, really nice song here. I really like the instruments used and just the overall calmness of it. It fits well together There's not much else to it. You've done a very awesome on this! Great job!

Mr-Berr responds:

Thanks for the review :)

[Come to Reality]

Wow, great epic song man! Got a nice use of synths in this. Also, I really like the mood changes throughout as well as the tempo changes which also sound quite nice. Funnily enough, I've also been experimenting with tempo changes a bit heh. Anyways great job on this man!

Metallica1136 responds:

Haha, thanks man! Tempo changing really comes in handy.

[Everything in Sight]

Really awesome! This is a nice song here. You really do have a good mixing vibe down. That's something I still need to work on heh. Anyways, Overall nice song with great riffage and solos too.

Great job on this.

Metallica1136 responds:

Hey man, been a while since I've seen you! Haha, really glad you like it! Tried to get some of my best riffs and solos in this. Some of my best mixing as well.

Thanks for your review!

[Destiny Burning]

I'm not really into these kind of vocals but DAMN!! This is some great fuckin' metal! Awesome riffs and overall, The guitar fits very nicely with the vocals. Almost like you wrote them together. I like the cleaner slow parts you put in there as well.

Well done and great job on this.

Metallica1136 responds:

Hey man, it's been a while since I've heard from you! I'm really glad you dig! :D Yeah, I never have cared that much for this specific vocal style either, but Metaled can do it quite better than most.

Thanks man!

[Toxic Land]

As everyone has pointed out already, you do have very nice mixing here. That's something I need to pay more attention to. I just get so lazy sometimes heh. Great riffs, bass and the drums sound just epic. Also the solo around 3:48 is awesome!! I really liked that and how it's sort of a change in style for a second.

Overall, this song is just so awesome! Great job!!!

Metallica1136 responds:

Haha, yeah, man, I spent a lot of time working on the mixing, on this song! :P Yeah, for a while, I stopped paying much attention to the mixing, but now, I focus on it just as much as i focus on writing the music itsself :P Thanks for commenting on that, also, glad you like the riffs, bass, and drums! Yeah, that's one of my best solos.

Thanks for your review, man! Real glad you like it! :D

[Life's Death]

Oh yeah, very awesomely brutal song! Death is a great band and so is the traditional death metal genre which you you've captured very well here with the great riffs and all. I like the bass too, it's like punching me in face with brutality heh.

Overall very well done. Great job on this! Awesome song!

Metallica1136 responds:

Thanks man! Yeah, this song was meant to sound alot like something from Death. About the bass, I actaully used some overdrive on a couple of parts, one thing that really makes it heavy :D

Thanks for your review as usual, Kogasu!
