[Space Cowboy]

This is cool but it's too obviously synthesized, and no one's paying money for your shit man. You definitely stole those album pictures too.

Dubwolfer responds:

Thanks for the rating man.

Yeah I'm just working with what I have right now, I'm trying my hardest to actually get an artist, as, I can't even properly draw stick figures lol

Most of my releases become free overtime, or even if someone just asks me nicely lol. But seeing as how I just started college, I need all the money I can get.
But we all gotta start somewhere, I guess :P

Thanks for the comment man, have a good one! :)
Definitely not making up excuses though :P All of your points are valid

Thank you

[I'm Emo]

SonicWombat responds:

NAILED IT

[Classic 80s Metal]

I get that when you first realize you can play fast you're all like WAAOOHOhohohoOHOHOH and start shredding and have the 80's hair metal phase, but don't let the shredding make you lose your groove. Practice trying to pocket your solos.

enders1 responds:

Oh I get you man, thanks for the advice, if you want to check out more of my ''feeling'' solos, check out my pink floyd inspired solo.

[Justify The Means]

See this is just fucking awesome.

Xenogenocide responds:

Thanks man! Appreciate it ;)

[Reflection]

Bitchin' tapping and sweeping stuff man. The first part of that solo at 3:15 was super good in terms of legato but the dynamics of everything behind it denoted something with more held bends and taking more time. I may be nitpicking but you're technically ridiculous I just think it would be cooler if you blended that will some more soulful stuff.

Xenogenocide responds:

Thanks solongshrimp! The solo was recorded in separate parts at first and was inspired heavily by Scar Symmetry's Per Nilsson and Interval's Aaron Marshall in terms of feeling, so it may come across as an odd blend.

I didn't work too hard on it.

[Unseeing Eyes]

My personal #1 rule of melodic screaming music, you CAN NOT scream/growl the whole song. Take Fall Of Troy or Killswitch Engage for example, they would scream a verse but do melodic vocal layers over the chorus. With the constant screaming it creates too much tension that is never released with the beautifully melodic instruments underlying it.

himenow responds:

Thanks for telling me how to practice my craft. :)

In all seriousness though, listen to some more melodic/symphonic black metal.

(Also I'm a pretty shitty singer :c )
