I just listened through it and I am a fan. My one main piece of criticism (as a bassist) is that turning the bass up a bit would make the music feel a little more full and would add some meat to the guitars (which do have a good tone and production on their own). Also vocals would add to the atmosphere. But great songwriting and playing overall!

The mix really didn't sound bad at all, but I did hear a couple of sour notes created by a possibly out of tune guitar. One of them was specifically at 1:47. I would check your intonation and tuning, and possibly go over those parts again.

Also, kudos for using a Dark Souls theme in your material. I loved that series.

This is my first time trying to make black metal and is the first song I've created in a long time, think there's any potential here? Btw I suck at vocals so there aren't any.

The riff that starts at 1:08 is kind of irritating so the fact that it keeps coming up kind of ruins the song. Maybe its just me or try cutting it out? I do like the main riff though, the part at 3:11, and the last riff is pretty cool. It reminds me of Taake.

Thanks for the criticism! I changed things up a bit, maybe it's less irritating this time around.

Nice I enjoyed that a lot. Definitely has a lot of potential. I'd suggest adding another element and vocals to make it stand out though.

Hello all,

I just released a new EP with my project Dionysus Zagreus and am looking for some feedback on the production (and on the music in general). I've been having a hard time figuring out what subgenre to label this project as, if anyone can point me in the right direction!

it's pretty much instrumentally power metal.

very clean, i think the programmed drums could actually be pulled back further in the mix. i like what you got for tone on the guitars and bass.

i have to admit I really hate the vocals. They def need far more work. untrained, no range, offkey, and slightly off time. I get what you are going for but it just doesn't work. and as much as I hate saying it I think these work better as instrumentals.

My project Hollow Lives has just released a remixed and remastered version of a track which first appeared on our debut album. It's DSBM with a slight death and doom influence, for fans of the likes of Shining and Lifelover. Currently working on a second full length, with more of an alt rock/post-punk/goth influence. Feedback and constructive criticism welcome.

I've been working on 4 songs for a project I'm trying to start. Unfortunately I am more of a vocalist than a guitarist so the playing may be sloppy. Anyways I'm looking on feedback for what I have done before I start writing lyrics and laying down vocals. Until I can find an actual guitarist near me there won't be any solos lol. My main two influences have been death metal and nu metal (sue me)

here is what I have (shittily) recorded:

Hey Guys,

a very close friend of mine released an Black Metal EP album yesterday 17.03.2022, check it out and let me know your thought about it.

very good shit.

Never posted here before, but I'm looking for some criticism on music I've been working on. These recordings are all from about 6 months ago, but we've slowly been trickling them out for production slowdown reasons. I'm mostly looking for input as to whether this sound seems like something viable or if I should scrap and start over. Right now it's just myself doing guitars and bass, and writing all music, and a drummer who is also doing the vocals.

Any criticism is helpful, thanks in advance.

The music sounds perfectly competent, but I'd suggest getting some recording quality that's not phone-like.

Sadly, rhythm guitar and drums were literally recorded on a phone. I appreciate the compliment though.

Looking for feedback/ tips regarding the mix for my album, which was released last year: https://botgorelsen.bandcamp.com/album/att-kuva-det-upproriska-k-ttet-2

I did the whole thing myself without any previous experience. The drums are programmed, bass and guitar recorded via line-in. I did as much as I could by following various guides on youtube (and other sites) to get basics like compression, EQ etc. All things considered I'm pretty happy with the results, but I definitely think there's room for improvement for future releases. Seems like something's missing, but I don't know what. The bass guitar could sound better, but I don't know how to get there. Better EQ? Better plugin?

Any and all pointers are welcome.
