Dig the instrumental intro, heavy and captured my attention instantly. I've always loved rap/rock fusion music. Some of it leans one way while some of it leans the other and the creativity of the writers and producers can really set it apart from other songs. You guys have a cool sound, I'd come out to watch you perform. You both and the band in general rock, keep 'em coming!
Just had to comment on this track, Mr. Word. I really enjoyed it. It is a great backing track from Danke and your rhymes are, as I am quickly learning, intelligent and engaging. I am VERY impressed.
thanks again, Eric. i really appreciate the feedback and the compliments. i'm really happy you took the time to check out some music in a genre you really don't normally go to. it makes it even more fulfilling to know that i can capture a wider audience.
and thanks again to Danke for the inspiration. Bless.
I'm not really into rap, but I was fascinated by this track and really enjoyed it! I see that you are planning to remove some of your tracks. Be sure to put this one back up if you do take it down for rework. The positive response you've received is well-deserved.
thanks so much for taking the time to listen, as well as understanding and respecting the vision. this one is not coming down any time soon. i've gotten nothing but great feedback.
What the unholy interface in this!!! Haha, Really liking the gritty icky with this ruff. Your band has a cool sound, you guys cover a good variety of ideas and I dig most of them. Kind of inspiring what free form will allow one to create and the kind of differences it brings together. Thanks for letting us peep this. Keep at it man, Peace.
thanks a lot, brother! i really appreciate the love i'm getting on these tracks. i wanted to spread them out a bit so you can all get a taste of the different styles we incorporated... and it seems to be working. I'll be ULing something this weekend that is totally left field, if that even makes sense after hearing this one.
thanks, brother. i'm glad that you had a chance to listen to it and get a good vibe going. check out the rest of my work. i'd be more than happy to hear your thoughts on the others as well!
Hey Mike....sonic creatures of the underworld vibe for sure,I like where this is creatively,your on the highway to hell but you didn't take the expressway to Screamoville or Heavymetalburg,it's articulated darkness....definitely an interesting track,I realize it's not finished yet,I like the dirty soundscape and especially the intro,it just needs some more presence to the instrumentation maybe..I like angst and this piece is dripping with it,cool stuff!...cheers Dave
hello. overall this is nice, kind of dark-coloured even. don't you think it's overproduced (too loud/distorted)? I can see that the actual waveform is much fatter than the actual looperman track space. just a thought. For example: there are some jungled bell sounds on the intro section but the sound quality is quite poor. I do know if it's the actual result of the mp3 compression or applying effects that distort the sound.
also to me there is far to much distortion on e piano but that's again my personal prefference.
so just sharing some opinions, feel free to disagree.
thanks for the feedback, Promenade! we went for a really gritty sound to this track, just a very dirty distorted feel to it. there is a bit of overproduction on it, it still isn't mastered, just a rough idea of what we're going with. thanks so much for the feedback,nrpther. that's why i put it up ;)
This is a winner all 4 minutes long. Such a strong vibe and vivid performance from you and the female vocalist. If I would hear this on a festival i would be dancing my balls off!
thanks so much for the positive feedback, brother. I really enjoyed putting the beat together, and i lost myself inside of it when i wrote the verses & the hook.
This sounds pretty damn live. How was this made/recorded?
First bass part has quite a bit of reverb on it. A powerful sound.
It's overall quite loud and busy, with lots going on eg that tinkly piano panned right and the additional female vocals. They don't add a lot for me but sound like the sort of thing a band would do live.
Drums are perhaps a bit drowned out but hold the groove down well.
As it's so busy and loud, I could have done with an instrumental break, just to give the listener a break, collect his/her thoughts and get ready for the vocal return. I feel I could do with some more space and room to breathe and think with a track like this. It's not metal.
Quite a skilful ending after the drums have stopped. I appreciate that and it's much more intelligent than just a simple fadeout. Shame it cuts off too abruptly.
this was a srtudio recording with my old band. they recorded together. the 3 vocalists all did our tracks separately. i dont know why it cuts off so abruptly. my MP3 plays out all the way through. strange.
thanks for the feedback, Static! as always, much appreciated!
So sorry for not yet sending you any demos to rap over. I keep putting it off but do still have some initial ideas that I keep meaning to send. I'm also putting off sending someone all my stems so he can do a remix of a track dedicated to him. That's a lot more work than just sending you a couple of MP3s.
Anyway: foreboding intro. Piano and some added buzzing pads. Then the drums are pretty tight and powerful. 0:35 how are you doing that drum fill? Other good and varied drum fills keep popping up.
People can groove to this and your assured and mature vocals lead us through the slightly dark, haunting journey like a good master of ceremony. Interesting lyrics, as always.
My only real complaint is a lack of an obvious change. That would really make it take off and give us a bit of a break from the incessant nature of the track. And then you can have fun returning to that main groove and idea.
Mix sounds pretty good though I guess you know the end is chopped off too abruptly.
thanks for the great feedback on the track, Static. the drum fills were done very patiently lol. they are midi drums in Logic. i took some basic hand percussion fills and moved them around and as tightly together as possible. i also used some filtering and other fun stuff to get that sound. i'm a novice with production and mixing, so i just play with different effects until it sounds good. i wanted to break up the pianos for a more emotional piece, but i just figured the drums would tell the story behind my words. maybe i'll play with remix and have fun with chopping up the keys a bit.
i'm gonna check out that link you posted in a moment. it's good to hear from you, brother!

The only thing is that the drums are a little drowned in the flow of things.
Otherwise, dope.
