Hell F*ck Yeah Meshuggah ! Good job !! Very Technical stuff. I'm a Meshuggah fan also.

Haven't listened to metal in a while, but this was like a breath of fresh air.Amazing!

Meshuggin' regreetings.

Oh no, don't get me wrong - I thought it was a really well made track, just not my preferred heavy style. I thought my detailed review demonstrated that I thought it was good. My musical tastes are somewhat separate from my evaluation of a track. And you don't make music to entertain me (and vice versa).

"the inability of playing power chords. They sound terrible with the low tuning."

That makes sense as I guess it's a bit like strumming mid to high chords on bass guitar (though that can also be effective). But you could play those same chords beyond the 12th fret. I know that's not the most comfortable sort of chord playing position but it could be done. And stop ot from sounding so low and messy. I'm sure you've given it a go.

" the cymbals were washing out and again I'm noticing it."

I didn't really notice but if it's bothering you, I guess you need to find a way to fix it. Or just get it closer to what you want.

"the Looperman version has dramatically effected the dynamics"

Not sure I've heard that before. I thought it was supposed to be exactly the same, no artifacts introduced.

"Maybe my next track will be more to your liking."

It might be but I really wouldn't worry if it's not.

My country track has been put on the back burner, partly because my latest one is going rather well. It's drum 'n' cell - d'n'b with loads of one particular instrument. It's fun and far out and you'll probably like it.

Merry mothafuckin' Xmas!

Some thickness, indeed!

Not big on djent, but you got a good sound here. Doom filled chugs and clean dissonance. Sounds like a beast conveying it's displeasure with all around it. I can't fault anything here, just not my thing. Very evil, but I like aggression in my evilsoup. Production is awesome and sounds like there is a lot of money behind it in studio time. Rather well done!!!

Nebulous greetings, NeoMeshuggin'Bro.

I'm not a fan of Meshuggah (just too heavy and lacking in melody for me) but I think about them fairly often as I have Tomas Haake's Metalheads EZX and use it quite often, not only in heavy tracks. I used some of Haake's MIDI files for some of the "criminally insane" drumming that you liked in my Fist Bumps Of Fury track (especially early in the track).

I'm really, really bad with time signatures so I don't really know what 23/16 time is. But I do know I get something quite distinctive from his crazy MIDI files. Most of them are banging away on cymbals so not a lot of hat work.

Anyway:

0:10 that's quite a cool little industrial flourish and I like the slightly vocally drone synth underneath, changing note on 0:28.

0:15 and here's that heavy djent thud and overall fat sound. This already sounds well produced, as does all your stuff these days, I believe.

This does sound like there's some evil, clanging, octave-jumping bass guitar in it. I guess that's all just guitar. But it is a detuned 8 string so that makes sense.

1:19 and that lead guitar is a welcome addition as sitting on that thudding djent riff was getting a bit samey.

3:02 fuck that's dark and evil. Really wide guitars.

3:16 like an ogre groaning. Or metal vocalist grunting away.

The lead work on top here makes it more far out and psychedelic. In a dark, unsettling way.

This second half seems more powerful than the first.

As I said, Meshuggah isn't my kind of sound so I can't really love this track but the guitar work is very good - well played and produced.

4:48 reverse flourish at the end is a nice touch.

Osh, tasty. I'm loving the tone of the guitar, low slow and sludgy, my kind of of metal.

I hope you can find a singer to complete this, I think it has huge potential.

I'm inspired to make some sludge now, keep it up brother.

Sounds great! This isn't usually my cup of tea, but you really made it work.

this is the kind of music i loved to be stoned to and get lost in. what do you know, i am getting that escape with your work even without the weed. great work and look forward to more. Dan

yeah...they played in Budapest at around 2007 and I was impressed about the drummer...CAN'T BELIEVE HOW HE WAS ABLE TO PLAY THOSE BROKEN RHYTHMS...
that band actually made revolution in prog metal...and your track is a true main drive in front of them...

hats off, Danke

How do you even describe this? I guess you can say 4 mins of "holy fuck where am I?" Loved it! I would like it more if you had a sine wave really deep down there, sliding along to add a heavy sub bass. That would take this to a new level... thanks for this piece!

Neo.

Dude.

Seriously, man. This track spoke to me. It's the perfect amount of psych, space, and melody. It's droning sub, the slow movements. Your use of atmospheric synths are impeccable. They are placed so well, that you don't really notice all of them. But if you were to take them out, you would definitely miss them. It's super wide open, spaciously speaking. It's nice and mysterious. To me, it's like what I imagine being adrift in space without a ship is like. But, not one of those Major Tom mishap drifts. The kind you'd take if you could, just to be completely isolated from everything, while being totally at one with it all.

I had to download this. Funny thing is, it's over 4 minutes long, but it could easily be another 4.

Highest praises from ValveHalla on this one brother!

Take care.

Primordial yos, AmbientNeoBro.

Do the Gods like music? I don't know. I ask them every night in my prayers (all of them, it takes ages) and not one has ever replied. Bastards.

This is some nice, chilled, mysterious and mystical stuff. First guitar part is good though maybe a bit too trebley. Very minor complaint. Nice warm sub bass underneath. It's already really far out. Just what I like.

1:32 it gets dirtier. 1:41 nice, screechy bend. This has a fairly epic space rock feel. But without drums.

Is there a bit of clipping on the track, perhaps from the guitar? I seem to hear an unwanted crunch in my left ear.

Guitar gets darker and a bit more Eastern towards the end. The kind of thing I probably would have done. Very nice final floaty, synthy ending. A welcome break from the guitar as that large bass synth fades out. Excellent long fade!

Maybe the music video could be you floating in space playing loads of lead guitar as planets and meteors hurtle past you. And then you end up arriving at the God Planet, where they all live, and you ask your important question: "So, do you guys like music?" "Yeah, it's OK", they say. "Well, thanks for that deep insight, guys, you have inspired me with your wisdom", you reply before shooting off back to Earth at warp speed.

Suitably inspired by their profound answer, you quickly write the deep ambient sequel to this track: Genius Gods.

Primordial Nomad, slowly emerging from the ever-shifting depths of space and time...

It turns out I was listening to something in the background on youtube while I was listening to your ambient track.

So my comment about "lots of words" was nonsense. sorry.

i love the soundscape you create, and that is a lot of words you came up with (or found!). Nice impact overall. Regards - Dan

Your versatility is showing again Neo...and I have a smile of satisfaction of my face when I hear an guitarist/artist use the instrument to create the atmosphere with the restrained kind of melody lines that convey the feeling/mind picture rather than demo speed on scales etc (as many do)...love that big fat kind of dark pad that introduces the track...nice patient build (a la Pink Floyd)...very cool smooth singy tone on the guitar...its a fairly minimal mix..where the instrumentation carries the rhythm with the need for anything else....This is really well and thoughtfully done man...fab job...fav from this ol guy....Ed

I like this one and how it meanders along building subtly. Reminds me a little of Roxys dream-home heartache in how that style of writing just builds tension in the listener. Also a little Radiohead Kid-A like as well. I enjoyed my listen.

Loving the drones this year Neo. I've been meaning to record some myself, maybe with some slide cigar box guitar. Sweet field recording from the outer edges of space! :D

great piece. a long journey, whether it is the body , soul or the mind, is what I feel in this piece.

If any of the Gods is listening to this now they, will surely get the idea of creating something great...something
that hasn't been created before !
I'm joining Danke in faving and downloading!:) Thanks for sharing this divine event !

Compliments____Orlando

Outstanding...you are my God Neo...:-)

In this time of my life I think too much about time and life...you know I'm 50, and my 3rd child is 1 year old...what do he thinks when he'll be 18 and I will stand on his banquet as a grandfather???
This music will lead me through...

Instant fav and dl...your participation for the site is a biggest prize...

Hats off, Danke

Dang, this sounds awesome and chunky as heck! I love it. It's just missing some awesome rock vocals, though being a singer I want to add vocals to everything :) The guitar tells a story all it's own. The shaker was a bit of a shock as it was too loud, but that is definitely an easy fix. Beautiful stuff, that bassline from SupaFreakShow really took this to a new level! This is by far the best rock song on LM I've heard to-date.

I'm only sorry I didn't come here SOONER. This is pro-level stuff.

Hats off to you, my good Neomorpheus!

Brado Sanz

Great track here...Love the guitar work...I was really waiting on a really raunchy lead solo, but great work.

I could share ghost, paranormal stories, experiences with you for hours!! Makes you question your own sanity. Did I really see that? Just accept there's phenomenon we will never explain. You actually wouldn't believe all the people that have similar stories. I love that you investigated it afterwards. Ghost, they say, cannot physically harm you so nothing to be afraid of, hahahaha easier said than done! One night I was working late, alone as always, at my town hall maintenance job when I heard footsteps upstairs in the police department. Of course I went up to check it out. Too bad the cop on duty was parked up the road a few blocks watching traffic! I know that because after I realized there was no one there and the footsteps continued I got the hell out of there.Yes, I had to come back for more :p Loving the western frontier spanish outlaw flavor this has. I can picture El Muerto roaming the desert with arrows sticking out of his mummified headless corpse, tattered ragged filthy clothing flapping as the black stallion gallops along. DId it work? Did the banditos get the message? Vlad Tepes (the real Dracula) once turned back a 100,000 strong Turkish army with 30,000 impaled turkish prisoners. They got the message quite clearly 3:D> More plz!! \m/ \m/ Time to watch a western. If it makes you feel any better I once saw a colonial woman float across my front lawn (where I still live) ;) She was like a hologram, but clear as day! Indians roamed this area at that time and there's a place not far away where there's a legend 2 guys were running from the Indians when they killed one and he's buried next to the stream at a rest stop called Snow Falls. There's also a Wal mart just up the road, supposedly built on an old indian burial ground. Enough rambling, western movie time.

Hola, hermano muerto.

There's some pretty impressive guit fiddlin' here.

Nice Spanish intro. I have no idea why I never end up playing Spanish stuff but I just don't (eastern comes out quite easily).

There's a bit of Nothing Else Matters in that chord around 0:16.

Then drums and bass enter plus dirtier guitar, playing some quite melodic, slightly dark stuff.

Drums sound much better than in other tracks of yours. Why is that?

1:06 you kick into a cooler drum groove and then things get a bit crazier, in terms of riffage and busy drumming.

1:27 a little reverse cymbal, I suspect.

1:57 I like it here when things come down and we hear more of the chug of the bass g.

2:45 a return to your dark rock intro.

3:03-3:12 low end bass really stands out.

3:18 fuck me that gave me a nasty shock! That percussive shakery thing is way too loud. Good but too shocking for me.

4:06 a wah solo begins. Decent but not spectacular.

4:35 good drum fills.

4:59 that's a fuckin mental laughing scream. Would be cool to have got that in earlier. Nice panning on it.

And an abrupt ending that feels just right.

Good stuff!
