Anyone check out the new raw demo from CRIMSON GLORY 'Garden of Shadows' yet?

[Claus / Intromental]

Gonna to agree with the naysayers. The chorus isn't that good, and understandable this is a demo but a song is built on a strong chorus and this song doesn't have one. Time for a re-write.

Agreed! There are a couple of good ideas in the song but it needs a serious re-write.

as a CG fanboy, and keeping in mind this is just a rough demo, I like it and i can't wait for the finished product.

This wasn't really clarified in the press release, but this song wasn't written by all members. Jon wrote the guitars and handed it to Todd to see what he would do with it. Afterward, they added Jeff's (awesome) bass. So considering that, its a pretty good first effort from the rookie.

This has captured my attention. Looking forward to hearing a finished version.

Funny note on the Tate comparison, I ran into a friend over the weekend that I haven't seen in almost 15 years. He was a big time Ryche fan back in the day. Like everyone else he lost interest around HITNF. Being completely unaware of anything other than what is played on radio today, I played this for him not telling him who it was. His first guess was Queensryche. His comment was that Tate sounded better than he has in quite a while. Scotts drums sounded different and the direction of the music still had him miffed. Then I told him who it was.

Oh, he was singing it well. It was just taking so long to get going and dragging out trying to create some kind of dramatic build that I lost interest...

Just heard the song. Completely underwhelming. Like a few said, it needs a serious re-write.

You can't really slam a sandwich for tasting bland when all you have so far is the bread.

ROFLMAO!!!

I was pretty bored. I'd be more forgiving of this song being a "raw demo" if it sounded at all like a "raw demo" as opposed to a "finished song that hasn't been mastered yet." I was expected some live rehearsal jam of a new tune or something

Right, but if you're trying to get the word out about the sandwich, why would you serve a plate with just the bread ?

Taking it for a demo, ie what it is, it sounds good.
