Schleif's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[My Last Serenade (EOC&TOM)]

[title]

damn, where the hell have you been?? good to hear your shit again. brutal n badass, as always. great shit, really enjoyed listening to this. welcome back fucker \m/

ElfofChaos responds:

Thanks Schleif, it has been way too long since I posted around the metal mangs here. Glad to hear you enjoyed this one bro, hoping to have more recent stuff up on here soon!

[Hatespawn (Vocal Take)]

[title]

pretty cool stuff, really like the screamish vocals. while your cleans sound pretty decent, they lack power. personally, i'd get some distance to the mic and just let it all out, haha. some quality issues, sounds slightly muffled, but nothing too serious. i'd turn down the vocals slightly though, as they kind of drown the mix. really like your style though, badass 'n brutal. lyrics are pretty cool as well. great work all in all, but still room for improvements. keep it up \m/

Pure-Metal-UTA responds:

I haven't tried to stand back from the mic and burst it out, and I've been told that before too. I don't know why I haven't tried it before though. Maybe I should try it out.
I do notice that when I try to sing cleans and let it out, my voice cracks retardedly easy, and it can ruin the song completely... so with more practice I should be blaring into the mic soon enough haha.
I'm really glad you liked it though, and yeah the vocals can be overpowering, but also at times, especially with some of the high growl parts, the vocals can be underwhelming and indistinguishable.

Thanks for the review! Glad you liked the song!

[Save.Me]

[title]

pretty cool, some issues with the eq and mixing, but well played. pretty badass riffage, sounds good. i like it, keep it up \m/

AttackTh3Radical responds:

Explain what you mean by eq and mixing problems? I don't know a whole lot about that process. But thanks a lot!

[Theodicy ~DAA~]

[title]

not bad, i like what you've got here. your tone is very raw, which is something of a double-edged sword in this case - while the rhythm is chugging and brutal, it kind of muffles your leads. still, i really like the riffs, great playing. the piano seems a bit inappropriate in my opinion, but it's still pretty cool, and adds to the variation. while unpolished, the solo is quite enjoyable as well. great job all in all, keep up the good work!

METALkiDofEArTH08 responds:

Thanks. Yea like I said not got EQ'ing down perfect yet, working on it though! You have to really know what you're doing and what you want in Audacity because you can't playback while EQing... waiting to get Pro Tools, then we'll be in gear!

[B7 - Skullgnasher (WIP)]

[title]

[Metanoia]

[title]

badass riffage. well structured, still very varied. well played, god job on this bastard. i like it, keep rocking \m/

ThermalLaser responds:

Fuck yeah! Thanks a lot!

[The Stage]

[title]

sounds pretty cool. good work on the drum eq'ing, sounds good. you got some pretty nice rhythms going on here. a blend of well structured riffs and random madness haha, i like it. the 2:48 passage is fucking badass. reminds me of kerry king haha. not bad, keep rocking \m/

Ryan-of-the-Metal responds:

YEEEESSSS!! Haha! It's madness since it's speed metal. \m/ I'm glad you like it, Schleif, as long as you like it, then I've done some good riffage then. The 2:48 passage is the solo! xD Seriously though... Who's Kerry King? I guess I've got more research to do! Thanks Schleif, you're the man.

[Be afraid of a vacuum cleaner]

[title]

haha, this is pretty cool! i don't have any idea of what you're singing about, as i don't speak russian, but still i really like your vocals, haha. you got an interesting technique, and you deliver the vocals well. drums are pretty repetitive yes, but they do what they're supposed to do. good work all in all, keep it up!

Shiroah responds:

Thanks!
This is not my usual voice, you know. I've tried to make something like growling :D
I'm singing about evil vacuum cleaner.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

I'm raising all the guitars for the full album download. I can't edit some of them here, so I'll put a full download pack on a newspost. InC album art and such like that.

And thanks for the awesome review, my friend. It is going to be nice to get this album done. Then I can hammer out some other styles of stuff and COLLAB with some peeps. Yourself inc.

Thanks again, dude.
