Hey guys here it is!! I hope you liek it.

The vocals are weird, nto the best vocalist but whatever! The vocals fit ok so its good, our other songs the vocal styling is more of a "singing" if you know what I mean!

If your wearing headphones I'm on the left, doign the solos and stuff.

Umm...I actually don't know what else to say so please listen and give feedback! I will not be offended by anything. My solo seems to be love/hate, most people think its awsome but some people didnt liek it at all ( a select few but still) so I really want to hear your opinions on that.

Thanks!

Pretty good for a first demo...I'd say the vox probably need a bit of compression and to be brought up a little in the mix, but other than that ya guys sound pretty good, my band was nowhere near that good when I was 15 . Keep it up!

It's not really my bag, but you guys are def. off to a good start! Overall very well done!

My one suggestion is for the two guitarists to work on their tones a bit so that they complement each other. Right now one of you sounds kind of muddy and weak, and the other a bit harsh. Two guitar bands sound best when both guitarists are around the same volume and gain level, but with a subtle difference in EQ between the two (e.g. one of you has a bit more mids, or a bit less presence).

Keep it up!

Metals deffentially not my thing but its pretty good for a first time. Good job

I cna explain the tones! My rythm guitarist has a Slammer by Hamer V cop and his pups suck and squeal like a bitch so he has to roll his tone knob down about halfway, and playing through a 75watt Randall thats a pretty mid schooped amp to begin with doesnt help!

As for my tone, I found it a little harsh too, I think that has to be alot with the mic placement I had (and we dont have the best mics) but I am looking into it because I noticed it as well (being harsh).

You guys have got what it takes to be really good. You definately need the singer to shape up a bit, but as a whole, this is really good.

As many before me, I don't even like metal usually. It's all so homogenous, but your stuff stands out.

I wanna hear you guys after two or three years. If you haven't sold a few thousand albums, I'll be surprised.

Nice work.Your drummer needs more timing and hi-hat control.I liked your playing,your tone is alright for me.´The guitar on the right is too loose and too dark for my taste.I like your soloing style.I found the singer well ,i like this kind of originality.It gives me more chances to understand whta you guys trying to say.The guitar timing is decent ,and the rythm strokings are solid.
And for your age ,you guys rock!!!Keep on working and you will be famous ,if you like to.And i will one of them who will talkyaround about your music.Rock on!!

Feedback:

The overall sound quality is not very good. That one rhythm guitar definitely needs some tone work. It's not that it's necessarily too dark, but that it can't handle the bass and ends up fuzzing out. Some new pickups would give the guitar a whole new character. The hi-hats sound like some cheap tin cans (no offense, but we've all been there and know how it is). The singer's lyrics can definitely use some work. The style of his singing is actually somewhat of a strongpoint though because it creates uniquesness. The riff's overall sound is very cookie-cutter. They come across like every other metal band's riffs. The solo was nice and fit good.

Anyway, that's my unbiased-to-age feedback. I don't want to discourage you. I just think you guys could be much better with more time invested into the writing process. Keep it up! You guys will get there.

Re: My bands first demo!! Please check it out!

indeed, with a change in gear/more experience/better recording setup, you'll get the music across much better.

for the vocalist, the style is ok, but he needs to work on his theatrics. lay down some atmosphere, cos right now he sounds like he isnt even trying =/
doesnt need to be growling or screaming, just more control in his voice, cos right now he's emhasising the wrong parts hehe.. but liek said, you guys need more experience in this.
riffs sound cool!!

i wont comment much on the tone cos i know how we all started out at one point hehe.

keep up the good work!

it would also be good to spend some time with general recording/setting up levels for the band as a whole, to see in what spot you fit in.
