Darkane - Demonic Art

[Djabthrash]

Not a huge fan of the mix (especially the guitar sound... too much gain/fat and a bit sterile), but i don't thing it's that bad.

I love the chorus on "Impetious Constant Chaos". Sounds a bit SYL-esque.

 

[AdamWathan]

Not digging the new vocalist at all.

I think he sounds shockingly similar to Andreas personally...

Mix on this is decent, the drums sound great but yeah the guitar sound is pretty shitty. Sounds alright cranked in headphones, but in my car I can't hear a single note the guitar is playing, they are very lost and buried in the mix...

Same here. He has the "i'm a maniac and i happen to sing in this metal band" vibe Andreas had

 

[KeithTidd]

if you've ever heard the defaced he sings much differently. Im not sure i like that he's immitating andreas.

 

[J the TyranT]

you guys are epic pirates. this shit's not even on their myspace yet for reference

 

[Mendel]

Didn't Peter Wildoer, their drummer do the mix? I think so, right?

Oh god.... drummers and mixing is a bad combo.

 

[Mendel]

@ J the TyranT: Promo isn't really piracy right ?

 

[Sly]

Oh god.... drummers and mixing is a bad combo.

As a drummer myself, I would say that I heard many awful guitarist mixes

 

[LydonB]

@ J the TyranT: Promo isn't really piracy right ?

I am not J, but I'm not so sure that a promo is a copy for consumers.

 

[R-Stuur]

I found the funniest thing ever. Anybody else noticed that cat sounding noise in the intro song? (Variations...)

 

[Metaltastic]

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, IT'S SATAN CAT!!!!

@ J the TyranT: Promo isn't really piracy right ?

So EVERY ONE of you guys just got the promo? Thats all I was saying. I could see some of ya, just not every one. Its whatever, I dont actually care, I just thought it was funny.

 

[J the TyranT]

This is off base. There's a shit ton of drummer who know WTF they're doing when it comes to this sort of thing.

 

[abyssofdreams]

...Its whatever, I dont actually care, I just thought it was funny.

Yep, me too and I do pirate stuff once in a while, who doesn't? Not that I'd justify pirating but at least I'm not posting it on teh Interwebz





Oh shit.....:zombie:

 

[Kazrog]

The clip on their MySpace page sounds irritating, especially the snare during the polka sections. What's with their new vocalist sounding almost exactly like their old one? I always hoped these guys would get a new vocalist, was never into their vocals except for on a couple of songs.

It's too bad, these guys are fucking amazing and I've bought all of their albums, but there's always been aspects of their music that irritate me to the point where I don't listen to them as often as I might otherwise.

 

[J the TyranT]

The new vocalist is the dude from The Defaced. He's killer with them, but I havent heard him with Darkane yet... lemme check it out.

Yeah it DOES sound like shit.... and it sounds like they told Broman to do his best to sound like Sydow... he doesnt normally sound QUITE like that...

And yeah, the snare is god awful. WTF?

At this point: The Defaced > Darkane

The iTunes version I bought today is clipping especially during leads. It's definitely not a promo version only thing. I think the new singer is great. I liked Andreas and liked Lawrence M. a great deal too. I don't think they can do wrong, a fantastic band and from what I've heard from this disc it's as interesting as their others. I've always disliked their rhythm guitar tone compared to other bands. I'm convinced this is the sound they want after a few albums of similar tones. I'm fine with that, I listen to them for inspiration to not suck at guitar and drums, but fail miserably in comparison to Christofer and Peter. OT but did anyone read that Peter Wildoer will be playing drums on the next Old Man's Child? That's quite ridiculous but I am eager to see what that will sound like.

I didnt hear that but....HOLY CRAP that will be fucking insane. :hotjump::Smokedev:

 

[LydonB]

I think their last album clipped too.

Peter Wildoer on the new OMC? holy fock.
