...even with all the recording problems it still kicks ass. It reminds me of boss fight music. Really epic, large scale boss fight music. It also reminds me of Dragonforce during several parts. You should defiantly take this and make a song out of it, maybe start with some quiet stuff in the beginning (synths maybe?), then silence, then hit with this part and continue it. Re-record it with a better recording device and computer though? ^_^ Sweet stuff as always, keep up the good work.

You know, I just realized...
... that is a freakin' good idea...
When we get our recording software fixed up, we're definately doing that. :D
Thanks for the advice, Kami! :)

Sweetness. Takes me back to days where I was running down corridors and exploding zombie and demon heads in Doom. Sweet beats and amazing guitar. I don't have much to say because you guys, as always rocked it hardcore. Great job and keep making good heavy metal tracks. My only gripe is that the drums sounded a little funky at the end of the song. Still awesome job.

The drums at the end were music editing parts thanks to Sheldon Mullo. Meant to sound very strange.
:) Thanks for the review. I'll be sure to check out your stuff.

I have defiantly met many people that this song would be perfect for. Great lyrics and the spoken parts mesh with the guitar and singing nicely. Your singing is also nice. Fortunately, all the girls named Katie that I know are cool and hot. I'm sorry that the Katie you know is a bitch, a slut, ugly, and unattractive. I have to say though, this song is a great way to express your feelings. So keep up the good work....and avoid that katie chick.

...this song! Totally reminds me of driving very fast down the highway at night in my black Camaro (racing?) lol. Great guitar with the electronic beats and heavy synths. One hell of a song filled whit constant build up which is great for keeping it fresh and interesting, and the transitions between sections loses absolutely nothing and preserves the flow of the piece well. Keep up the good work.

...Thanks for abusing Garageband even more. I'm not trying to be mean or abusive here, but.... There is absolutely no flow to this song what so ever. All it sounds like is you dragged a bunch of the loops together and dropped them in a random order. It changes way to much and has no cohesive elements that bring any part of this song together. You really need to work on having a beat/tempo that drives the song. I mean you didn't even tweak any of the loops at all either. Please, learn more about Grageband before you attempt to make any more songs in it.

I like it, I really do. The beginning almost reminds me of some of the music from Chrono Cross (one of my favorite games). It has a definitive rock feel while maintaining a kind of dream-like quality with lighter sounds and lighter guitars in the appropriate places. It feels very well balanced between hard rockin and softer contemplative parts. I could totally see a group of guys rocking out in the middle of Stonehenge making this song. Can you say music video/360 degree camera action? lol. Anywho, defiantly good job and I can't wait for the CD.

Hey, man. I appreciate your enjoyment out of our work. I have never truly played Chrono Cross yet, but I hope to. And us playing IN Stonehenge? Don't make us dream, pal. Haha. Anyways, thanks for reviewing! I truly do appreciate it! Please spread the word of HRM!

...of Doom game music, which I love, a lot. I defiantly like this song, great beat and instrumental sections that are varied enough not to get that repetitive. One thing that did bother me it that during some of the heavy/loud parts there was some minor distortion,no its not my speakers/headphones, but fix that and this would be awesome-er. Please make more with this same dark, hardcore, ?evil-fighting? sound lol. Thanks for makin music. Keep up the good work.

P.S.- wouldn't mind some reviews on some o' my stuff. ^_^ Not nearly as good as your own, being there are loops and all that that I use, but I think I do alright. Thanks again.

I would gladly review your stuff.

It was well done for what it was. At certain times the voice seems to repeat to much. Plus, this is from Serenity, which happens to be one of my very most favoritist movies ever! So thanks for this.

"Its nice that you're trying but...."
I can tell that you use Grageband (if that is not correct, sorry, but it sounds just like it) and while I love that program you have abused it. I'm not trying to be hurtful or offensive here, but I think you have potential and it would be nice to see you use it. First of all this song peaks way too much, therefore its all distorted. Secondly, there are really no transitions in this song, its just a harsh cobbling together of sort of similar sounding tracks. I like to use these sounds as well when making tracks but they could be used more effectively if placed more strategically and if you try to maintain a consistent rhythm. The abrupt changes in this song really hurt its potential to be a cohesive work. Right now it just sounds like you dragged and dropped pre-made loops into a semi-meaningful order to sort of resemble sounds that kind of demonstrate basic music. Again no offense, but for example, you call this Middle Eastern Thing and say that if you are not of Arabian decent then you won't like this, which is funny because I distinctly hear a NORDIC KEYED FIDDLE 01 loop in there. This loop is from a NORDIC keyed fiddle which is a instrument invented in Italy and the Nordic keyed part means that it is tuned and played in accordance with the Nordic musical areas, being northwestern Europe primarily. So yeah, better luck next time.

Guitar sounds pretty good. Drums sound pretty good. Lyrics seem ok. Vocals...need some work, there are a little too abrasive (even for punk) cause they don't seem to blend very well with the rest of the song. Seems like you've got potential, grow into it.

Thanks for the review. I agree on the vocals we're putting together a remake with out the synth and what not and the vocals have improved drastically. -Killerwhiteboy
