MercyfulDeath's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Party Tonight (abrupt ending)]

Yo I'm down to do bass and lead guitar for this!

On to the cover, I think it needs a lil reverb to tie the whole thing together, drums sound a lil dry, but I assume it's because that's how it sounded in the show. Also some separation and distinction between both rhythm guitars would be cool too, but otherwise this cover's pretty fuckin solid bro.

lemmy know if you wanna collab on this!

TheNGVirus responds:

I'd love to collab! DM me so we can talk about it more!

[Symphony Of Stolen Society]

I like it, a lot! I'm not super good with critiquing synthwave and such but from what I can percieve, the whole thing felt ethereal, especially the beginning, with that rhodes piano sounding synth. It really captures that slummy, dark neon feel of cyberpunk imo.

[Virtual World ( Demo Preview )]

Pretty tight man, imo sounds like music for a results screen after completing a level. I'd probably segue back into the original riff with an added lead after the cool part that starts at :29 to then loop it. Otherwise this sounds fuckin radical man.

[Generic Metal-y Thing]

Pretty decent stuff. I really liked the jangly Smithsy opening, the whole instrumental isn't SUUUPER 100% pure metal per-se, but that's just my inner 80's metal curmodgeon talking. You've got some cool melodies going on, plus that descending lick that serves as the main theme is pretty fucking good.

AlexandRyan responds:

Hey thanks so much for your kind words! Yeah you're definitely right about the genre, I'd probably label it more as Post Hardcore or something, which falls somewhere under the blanket term 'metal' in my eyes haha. Thanks again for taking the time to write such a kind comment on my track! :)

[Thrashy Turd]

Fuck dude this turd moshes hard, I dig the fuck out this, especially the crust-like parts like on 0:23, kinda reminds me of Wolfbrigade/Fall of Efrafa/Ekkaia and such. You ever going to do leads for this? It'd sound radical with a couple of tremolo abuse parts. Post more fucking turds dude.

GoreBastard responds:

Thanks man! I'm glad you're a fan of the crusty parts. Wolfbrigade are awesome, but I'd never heard the other two bands you mentioned. Just checked them out and they're excellent, so cheers for that!
Don't know if I'll end up putting much lead stuff on my tunes, mainly because I suck at guitar haha.

Cheers and beers!
