BrentHeMan's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dream Raid (Studio)]

Wow, great work, and the compositional notes were also fascinating. This was definitely my favorite track on the podcast. Great interview as well.

[Evil Seeping (LSB)]

I've listened to this song at least five times today. I don't have any feedback on the mix or anything like that because as far as I can tell, it's perfect.

For some reason, I am reminded of the scenes in the movie Seven, where they are in that (I think?) BDSM club. I could totally see this track (and your others) being used in movies.

Industrial definitely appeals to a different part of me than metal does. I don't really know how to explain it. Perhaps where metal often appeals to my anger, industrial appeals to a different side. Whatever the case may be, I like it.

I love how heavy the track is, and how we get just a bit of "relief" right at the end. That's how it feels to me anyway.

Well done guys.

[NG AudioPortalPodcast#005]

The podcast is really coming along nicely. I liked the interview. I think the mix of talking to music was great. The music choices and production were fantastic as usual.

YouriX responds:

Thank you! I have to say i like this structure alot! I will do a good balance of talking and music it seems to work well.

So far this my best episode so far :D

[Bloody Revolution]

Damn, seriously impressive work!

DanJohansen responds:

Thanks a ton man glad you dig it, also, thanks to the awesome website and servers on this site we get to share music for free like this seamlessly, good job!

[LL (Old) -Voidling]

Fantastic. You're getting me to really like Industrial more and more.

Lich responds:

Electro-Industrial and Metal are almost cousin genres if you think about not in a instrumental way but a whole attitude and atmosphere kind of way haha.

I've had plenty of Metalhead describe some of it to me as 'if Black Metal musicians picked up a synthesiser' and in some instances I agree.

Some recommendations for you to check out band-wise would be some of the ones stated in my music thread as first influences for me like: C-Lekktor, Reaper, Asphyxia, Suicide Commando, Tactical Sekt, Unter Null, Psyclon Nine, Nachtmahr and God Module.

[With This Knowledge(,) We Have]

If this is your first attempt at singing, I am very jealous. I really enjoyed this track and look forward to hearing more!

[Chaotic Temples (DEMO)]

I liked the song overall and thought you did a lot of interesting things, but I just didn't feel that there was much variety and uniqueness here to really grab hold of me. I really liked the beginning, but the song quickly got a bit tedious. The track itself is too long on its own. I did like what you did with the synths though.

I see you tagged Meshuggah. I tend to feel similarly about their music so maybe it's just me, but I feel that Meshuggah gets quite tedious after a while, and I really never go back and listen to their albums. Nothing really kicks me in the sack and makes me want more, except maybe the main riff to Rational Gaze, but even that gets tedious quickly. Almost all of their albums sound the same to me after awhile.

OceanPlanet responds:

I can totally see where you're coming from and Meshuggah is my biggest influence in music, but I do find your review helpful, thanks a lot for listening man. It's in demo phase so I can take what you've said and play around with it. I was thinking it was a bit to long, So i think shortening it might be a good idea. However, really appreciate your time on commenting and listening man :) thank you.

[[]Fracture[]]

This is damn cool.

[Voodoo]

A cool jam. Makes me want to hop on the drum set and jam out with you.

Viper responds:

Thanks. I really wish I had people to jam with like in person. But no one is interested in the music I play.

[Unlucky]

Probably one of the more unique submissions I've heard. I hope you're still making music!
