Schleif's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pipe Organ Metal]

[title]

haha two kinds of evil! shit doesn't get much more badass. i've been playing around with a bagpipe VSTi lately, also sounds pretty cool mixed with some heavy riffs haha. sounds cool \m/

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Bagpipe, eh? That could be interesting! Looking forward to hearing that, bro. Thanks for stopping by!

[Death Rise]

[title]

first of all: well worth the wait. really enjoying this one. the vocal melodies are pretty damn kickass, and your vocals really deliver. excellent work on the vox, the chorus sounds especially awesome.

riffs are excellent. a pretty classic approach, if that makes sense, and damn i like it! the 2:25 passage is great, still this song deserves more of a distinct solo passage in my opinion. very well excecuted anyway, your tone kicks heavy ass like always.

mixing is pretty much flawless. clean and heavy. though i think some really heavy drums would work nicely for this bitch.

excellent work dude, glad you finally finished the album \m/

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Ahhhh, master. You are right, it does deserve a bit more of a solo. Sadly, I cannot do it..and the empty riffing has grown...and actually fits in with the desperate empty decaying theme...so it seems to work. haha

Glad you dig it. Sorry for the delay. I'm just waiting on a photo release, to print the lyrics on, before I release the packaged download for free also. :)

Thanks for all the support, my metalhead brother.\m/

[The Last House on the Right]

[title]

pretty cool stuff. biggest issue is probably the guitars. i like the tone, but it's pretty muffled compared to the clear drums. could use some EQ work, which would also help go give the guitars a stronger presence.

the riffage itself is pretty awesome, a lot of cool passages. same goes for the drums, some really interesting stuff going on. though personally, i'm not much for abrupt pauses haha. you obviously put a lot of work in this song, and i really think it paid off. really enjoyed it - great work, keep it up \m/

mobious622 responds:

Thanks alot! Yeah that's funny because the EQing was all done by my dad, haha. And all the random pauses are my dad's doing as well from moving the tracks around. We are going to have someone lay down one long bass track so maybe the pauses will kind of tie together better. But thank you for listening and be sure to check out my other songs which are slightly crappier on the EQ and drums, but the riffs are there. :]

pretty cool, some nice riffs going on for sure. timing seems a bit off in the intro, and the drums are a bit too overpowering, kind of drowns the guitar. could also use some bass, as it sounds pretty thin, but all in all i really enjoyed the riffage. good work, keep it up \m/

crusherxt responds:

yes i got a bunch of feedback from this and by some of my friends. i also agree with u and got the same response from others as well which i didnt take a closer look. i will be adding a bass guitar to it and and tuning down the drums a bit and also making them become more in tuned with the riffs. thanks for the help and some other people dont really help that much *cough* *cough* devilfreak *couch* haha inbox me for some ideas. im open to a lot of interesting idears.

[Life Inc.]

[title]

damn, haven't seen you around for a while. you got some pretty kickass shit going on here. i like your tone man, crisp and clean, yet pretty damn brutal. some cool riffage going on for sure. i really like the ending. awesome work, and welcome back fucker \m/

XxCowMeatxX responds:

I know... i had a kid and that took up my time for about a year. but yeah im back making music now. and yeah iv been working on my new tone for a couple months now.... im happy with it. thanks for the review dude! \m/

[HAI SYMBOL]

[title]

haha, work those chubby fingers! brutal shit man, i love it \m/

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks bro.

[Pretend to Kill BADMAN.]

[title]

i've missed your brutality, fucker. some steady rage, could definitely hear some cool leads to this. the 'transition'-thingie around 1:50 is pretty damn sheep, but i fucking love it haha. i hear some cool ideas in this one for sure, good to hear some new shit \m/

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Haha, you mean the fade out repeat the song thing? hahahaha.

Thanks master. Also, this has great room for some vocals. HINT>

Thanks again, dude.

[Bass Drudge]

[title]

not bad dude, i like what's going on here. pretty badass riffs, packs a punch for sure. a bit too much effects for my tastes, but it still sounds good. drums sound pretty kickass as well, though the kick gets kind of drowned at times. you planning on developing this? good to hear some new stuff \m/

Ryan-of-the-Metal responds:

Schlief, I'm most glad to hear from you again too. This has a little bit of a My Dying Bride vibe in my opinion, just a little twang of that thugh. I don't know what to do about that kick, if you have any advice about EQing bass to get out of the way of the kick, that'd be awesome.

Except... Classic metal tends to leave bass EQed as a guitar for the most part, so I dunno. You should know I love effects, kinda like XenoGenocide hahaha.

[We Blind (Bad Man)]

[title]

dude, you fuck. your vox are improving for every damn song haha. love this shit. the old school riffage around 1:00 made my day haha! awesome stuff man, finish this for sure! really need to finish something myself.. hope you had kickass holidays bro \m/

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Hi SCHLEIF. Had great holidays. My liver survived. For the most part.

Thanks for the review, dude. Working very hard on all facets of the vox area. haha.

Glad you dig it, my friend. Definitely gonna finish. :) Thanks dude.

[Silently I Strike]

[title]
