my bands demo, feedback would be appreciated

[Enemy242]

so my band just finished mixing its demo and i know people hate spamming but if anyone could give some feedback on how it turned out, we'd really appreciate it. the quality isn't great because we recorded it live in the video production room thing at school but we're going into the studio in a few weeks to record our ep so we'll have something real then. but if anyone could give some feedback or criticism on the demo we'd really appreciate it.

[Anvil]

Definitely some catchy riffs.

 

[Liverslapper]

yeah downloaded the file and fucking lost it, fuck vista. i it won't even find it in search and myspace won't load up correctly so ill have to check it out some other day when im not stressed.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Good stuff.

 

[Enemy242]

thanks, so far we've got mostly positive comments except from people who don't like thrash which is pretty cool and surprising, if anyone has criticisms though besides the production thats welcome too.

 

[Liverslapper]

yes, catchy riffs




But you need to fire the vocalist asap.

other then that sounds good

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Well for what it's worth I hate most thrash and I still liked it.

 

[Enemy242]

yes, catchy riffs




But you need to fire the vocalist asap.

other then that sounds good

yeah thats one of the major complaints a lot of people have, when we play live it seems to fit with the music but we always seem to have a problem with his vocals coming off as well on recording, its weird.

 

[Liverslapper]

You guys have potential, just gotta work out a vocalist and you will be set!

 

[beast from the east]

Riffs good, vocals...not so much

 

[Narmoth]

either sing. or scream. don't simply talk!
The sound quality isn't great, and there's some clicking or popping sound thats in the way.
Good riffs.

 

[Jeff-Loomis-fan]

awesome but seriously...that singer , maybe he should scream or something?

 

[Enemy242]

he's into thrash and crossover and stuff so he's more into the fast talking with a bit of yelling but thanks for the feedback guys!

 

[slashvanyoung]

Yes, the singing seems like random talking over the music at times. Also his voice isn't that powerful. He should really work on vocal lines, even if they just follow the guitar riffs. It would be a start.

Besides that, I really like some of your riffs. But you should work on the arrangements and the flow of the song. Try to set some highlights in the songs, create tension. Use breaks more carefully, not only to as a tool to fit random riffs in there. That makes the difference between "a couple of cool riffs" and a good song.

You're on a good way! Props for keeping Thrash alive!

 

[hangtime]

Didnt like it .

sounds like a thousand other bands ,no originality at all .uke:

 

[Lunar Still]

YEAH, WHY DN'T YOO GUYZ SOUND MOAR LYKE DREAM THEATER?!??!?!?!?!?!?

 

[Sanctums]

I really dig the riffage. The common complaint seems to be the vocals, need to change the technique, timing etc.

 

[Calamitas1786]

The guy has no breathing technique. Basically, it sounds like you have an 80 year old man singing for you.

 

[hangtime]

YEAH, WHY DN'T YOO GUYZ SOUND MOAR LYKE DREAM THEATER?!??!?!?!?!?!?

I probably have more thrash cd's in my collection than you have cd's.WTF does this have to do with Dream Theater ?

 

[neal]

yeh singer dude needs to accept that hes a 16 year old skinny pipsqueak, quit trying to sound like he has a deep voice, and fuckin YELL like hes got a pair. geez.
