Wow! Once again no one gives a shit about you, or any of the terrible music you come up with. You're an egotistical, talentless idiot, and your god awful music only proves me right. Will you just quit trying already?? I don't think you're quite done wiping the egg off your face from "The Matt Parsons Band" are you sure you want to go deeper by pulling another shitty band out your ass?
You disgust me.

Its really not too bad.
I think you aren't capitalizing on the creative potential in, "Glory Awaits" with the excessively muddled blasts and lack of contrast.
"Chaos Reigns" was actually pretty tight and was a little more refreshing, mostly due to the fact you dropped the monotone, contemporary death metal homogenization for some contrast, rhythmic and tonal variety.
The solo's are pretty lackluster and devoid of theme or rhythmic pulse. They're kinda operating irrespective to what is going on with the music they're being played over.
If anything, I would probably suggest chopping up those sweeps into arpeggio phrases, with scale tones for color, punctuating and utilizing some full stops for character and theme.
Steve Morse has done some great clinics elaborating on this.
To the uninitiated, diminished runs and sweep arpeggios are just flying over their head. To the musically educated, sweeps are a tired 80's novelty.
But a solo with theme, flow and feeling.. now that, 'everyone' can appreciate.
If you had to ask for a critique, I would find a way to develop more trademark hooks. Because, while the music itself is by no means bad at all, it isn't exactly penetrating the metal industry nor is it really reinventing the wheel.
I would look at outside influences to add a new flavor that makes your music something someone can't easily classify as, "Good, but meh death metal".
Good Luck Mate.

i love sweeps but not solos that are entirely composed of them. i think there needs to be some variation. it becomes too easy to throw in matching sweeps over a chord progression for every goddamn solo.TheKshatriya wrote:I have grown to agree with this, but for death metal only.

When your sweeping to execute something melodically i think its cool no matter what genre, but if its in there just to prove the guitarists can do it (seems to be the case with a lot of modern bands) then its pretty lame. I gotta admit though, the sweeping in that one song seemed to do little more than make the composer feel more justified in have "technical" attached to all those sub genresTheKshatriya wrote:I have grown to agree with this, but for death metal only.
