LazarCotoron Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I agree. White magic is for sissies. Prinny can totally be the hero. Oh, and I like what I'm hearing in the mix. Feels a little indulgent after 3:46, but maybe that whole section there just isn't my thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightOfTheRound Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I saw most of the judges commented on the ending, and how it would benefit from more source, so I figured I'd go into detail on how I used the source during those parts. The original bit at the end (starting @ 2:50) is actually a variation of the original source "riff", being {ONE - and - a - TWO - and - a - THREE - and - FOUR - and} and replaced the {and -a}'s with triplets and the single {and}'s with doubles (this part is also played during the "solo" section starting @1:11). Everything is still in 5/8 except the china, which is acting as a precursor to the part that starts at 3:31. The 3:31 part is a polyrhythm of the main 5/8 source rhythm (but with triplets and doubles) played on guitars/bass/kick drum, and the snare is keeping it 4/4. The last 2 parts are actually still using the 5/8 source as a base. Aside from the key change, the triples and doubles (the {and} and the {and-a}) from the source are the ONLY thing being played by the rhythm section, the ONE, TWO, etc, are being played by another guitar, faintly. So yes, it's sort of an original part, but it is basically just a variation of the original source rhythm. I hope that made sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 This song kicks immense amounts of ASS! I expect it'll be brutal to experience in real life at that MAGFest gig too. This song ain't for sissies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnWake Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I think this song has like no high notes. Extremely heavy and interesting rhytm, I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brimtastic Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I'm a big fan of the source, don't know why it hasn't been done more. A really solid metal remix where the production really shines. Really powerful and punchy. I'll agree with the judges that a little bit more variation in the middle would have been nice. I'm not too big a fan of the 8-string djent stylings that dominate the outro, but each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crulex Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Very heavy and solid metal ReMix, indeed. There are things I would have liked to have seen expanded upon, but all in all, for something as clean and badass as this, it makes for a great jam that I can get behind. Rock on!
