music Metal song

Ok, I've been working on this for a long time, and now I feel like I can finally release it. I honestly think it sounds good, and I am proud of it.

Metal song, eh. I got a buddy who composes metal songs and is a big fan of Blaz Blue. You should check him out, I think you could appreciate him.

Well, I can't say a lot bad about it really but I'm going to be honest. It just lacks a lot of luster for a metal song. It got nice ideas and there are some pretty tasty moments in it-especially in the build up around 1:25 and the general repeating rythmes at the start are nice. If you can get a bit more heavy on the riffs with your guitars and make a bit more go on then I could say this is metal but the relaxed and somewhat slow take on it at points make it far more grudge or general rock.

 

I ain't no musician but I think if you listen to some more instrumental rock-since you are working with instrument at this stage-you can get a more to strong grip on rock in general and get exposed to wide variety of different directions in the music world. In this piece, it kind of...at points and the repeating beat makes me feel sort of psychedelic like I'm in a hippie van with a bunch of buddies while the room is filled with smoke. We also have a bunch of bongs that act as flame throwers that we use to kill rogue angels with-which is good, because generating a direct image with music means it gives off a vibe which a lot of people fail to do.

 

In short, it hard to say it is metal. But, I think this could work, it is no doubt rock in nature. It would be interesting to see it with vocals. As a relaxed piece, it can stand on its own that for sure but its a bit slow in terms of the more wild antics of the genre. This could work as a main menu kind of deal or in a start/select screen/shop in a game.

 

My suggestion beside my buddy-his stuff is pretty good in terms of sheer composition-there this channel which has LOADS of instrumental rock songs you can chew on: http://www.youtube.c...t/videos?view=0

 

 

Good luck, My brony. Brother of the appeal and pleaser of the ear. Making lines and sounds into honey ain't always easy so here a pat on the back for your trek ahead. Don't stop practicing, you got some potential and most importantly, vibe.

 

8/10 from me. Its got atmosphere and some nice atmosphere.

I do see what you mean. I tried to do one that would go with all genres of metal, but I do see what you mean by it being slower then usual. Maybe next time I'll do something like 2:13. Thank you for the criticism!
