Members metalheadUK Posted March 6, 2010 Members Share Posted March 6, 2010 My Cousin and myself knocked this up (off whatever ) as a demo for a band to learn the basics of the song, therefore drums are a drum machine and stupidly basic, and everything else is rough...it's a rough demo! But I thought I'd post it for any of my HCEG buddies who might be interested. Any feedback would be great! http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8849934 Thanks guys!

Members stork1122 Posted March 6, 2010 Members Share Posted March 6, 2010 Do you need some zoloft or something? j/k with you man, the track sounds killer. Pantera-ish kinda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarman3001 Posted March 6, 2010 Members Share Posted March 6, 2010 Cool! A little reminiscent of AIC's Angry Chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nuke_diver Posted March 6, 2010 Members Share Posted March 6, 2010 Yup definitely getting that AIC vibe Which is a very good vibe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members csm Posted March 7, 2010 Members Share Posted March 7, 2010 Nice thick tone, cool whammage ... You sound dreadfully unhappy, though. How about a hug and a nice cup of tea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metalheadUK Posted March 7, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 7, 2010 Thanks for the listens guys! I have to point out that the vocals and lyrics are not mine....I struggle to sing without a Sarf London accent. I have said about how dark all his songs are, and he's one of the happiest blokes I know! I've said to him about doing Metal with lyrics about sunshine, Bluebirds, and good times, but he doesn't think it will work. Abd Charles, thanks for listening...I know it's not your cuppa at all, but no whammy on there, just strong fingers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ashasha Posted March 7, 2010 Members Share Posted March 7, 2010 I likey. Those frickin disonant bends fit the lyrics perfectly. I like how it sounds heavy as hell, but it's not one of those muddy tones either. I got a bit of a Tool vibe from it. If I was going to be critical I'd say that the vocals needed a bit more attitude to them, some more growl or over the top {censored}. Perhaps some backing vocals would do it; I'm no singer so I don't know what I am talking about. But nice song, I wish that I was as creative as use. You seem to whip songs out non stop.

Members Undertaker4 Posted March 7, 2010 Members Share Posted March 7, 2010 Spot on playing, nice job! The guitar was my favorite part of the song. I agree with ashasha that the vocals as missing more punch or something, I don't know. I don't critique stuff very well lol. Do you plan to add any more guitar tracks to it?

Members Saturn Posted March 7, 2010 Members Share Posted March 7, 2010 I really liked it! I like songs with dark lyrics. The guitar lines are catchy. I can see cranking that in my car (possibly becoming so depressed I drive off a bridge) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members twisty571 Posted March 7, 2010 Members Share Posted March 7, 2010 I could definately dig it when it's finished with real drums for a "fuller" sound. As CSM & Asasha said,nice thick tone without being muddy. Sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Superrust Posted March 7, 2010 Members Share Posted March 7, 2010 sounds great and has a nice drive to it. well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metalheadUK Posted March 7, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 7, 2010 Thanks so much everybody! It is only a skeleton demo...these will at some point be done with a real drummer and bass player, and I will of course post 'em up! Vox would normally be more "attitudey" but it's hard to do vocals at volume in my little cottage music room..my punk demos suffer from this as well.. Frightens the neighbours!

Members jjpistols Posted March 8, 2010 Members Share Posted March 8, 2010 Guitars work but vocals suck I bet he'd send you the backing track if you'd like to sing over it and share with all of us :poke: sounds pretty tough, Marc - definitely a 90s feel as others have noted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Slave2TheAudio Posted March 8, 2010 Members Share Posted March 8, 2010 you're a little bitch haha honestly. I understand the lyrics but I don't think the delivery was too good. Believe me, I have depression. I think they should be a little more subtle than starting off with "cutting my wrists...etc" That's why I love bands like AIC and SG. They had that underlying theme but they never outright said it. Oh and JJ, love ya too, bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members _pete_ Posted March 8, 2010 Members Share Posted March 8, 2010 Needs cookie monster vocals. Not my thing either but it sounds like the stuff those crazy kids nowadays like so much.Nice guitar tone. I like that it has some mids to it and it's not the normal scooped, buzzy, metal tone.

Members metalheadUK Posted March 8, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 8, 2010 Well, as stated earlier, lyrics and Vox are not me. Vocally, I dont really want "trad" Metal or cookie monster vocals on this project, but I do understand that so much is subjective. I will say in defense that the guy singing is a FANTASTIC live frontman, and ultimately this stuff is inteneded to be played live. The stuff that I write/have written for this project is intended to be more Soulfly meets Slayer but as we're talking about including breakbeats and dance stuff further down the line, your guess is as good as mine as to how it will turn out! Anyway, mucho thanks for the listens and comments...I guess you can't please all o' the people all o' the time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
