Heh, I already heard this one a few weeks back, but a more rough version.

I'm sort of mixed on this - love the shreddage, but not a fan of the synth as the lead early on. The song feels short to me too - otherwise, zircon is still a beast!

Yeah, the synth in general is pretty bad. Dissonant and harsh, just not a good tone at all (nor is the note choice very easy to listen to).

Shreddage turned out better than I expected, but how about some lead playing to show it off?

Everyone else says the same thing.

Lead: not so hot

Shreddage: WOOAAAAHHH!!! Good work there with the shreddage. Too bad it doesn't actually... shred... becuase shredding implies leads.

Oh well, good work on shreddage!

Definitely some nice shreddage here. The mix is powerful throughout, which lends itself well to both themes. I'm not sure if the first lead synth is the best choice, but I still think it works as is. Nice work.

I kinda agree to an extent; the lead synth seemed kinda alone and bland compared to the dominant power of Shreddage guitars.

But it's nothing ear piercing; the mix still rocks A LOT in general.

Nice decisive battle riff at the end. d-(^^)-b

It's funny that this thread (and the post information) is more focused on the product than the song. :P

But since that seems to be the purpose, I'll post my thoughts as someone who produces plenty of metal with a rhythmic focus.
-While this isn't the actual samples and more the amp sim, it sounds a lot like a direct-input guitar. Distorting guitars is one of the hardest things to do with software, since half of their sound on record is based on acoustics.
-I wouldn't have really given a second thought that the guitar was played in a lot of the chordy parts. They sound le nice. When it gets to the lower parts, it sounds a little off - I'm not sure if this can be fixed through altering the MIDI timings and articulations or not.

I'm not sure how a lot of the other articulations used in metal sound (palm mutes, half muted, harmonics, pinches), so I can't really give thoughts.



So now, if we can talk about the actual song... you totally listened to Snappleman the whole time you made this, I know it! :P
