[SynthMetal Demo]

this had a amazing build up. I love the harmonies of the synths and the epic ness. It felt like it was about to drop into killer beat but that never really happen. kinda dispoint lol. work on dem beats my frend

lantaren responds:

Yeah.. Well, this was kinda my first real foray into trying something like this recently.. I mean, I've done I guess what you could call 'video game metal' stuff before, but I really don't even know what to call. Sitc2 is as close as I ever got, and while it's pretty epic, it just isn't the same thing (it's more like, I took one of my electronic songs and just made the lead a guitar instead of a synth).I was hoping to figure out how to make a breakdown of some kind, or perhaps a guitar solo or something that's not just the same thing over and over again, but I really liked the atmosphere of this. Listen to the latest version at http://music.lantaren.tk/track/synthmetal - it's a bit better in every way (alight arrangement modifications, composition, and just overall mastering). I might make an alternate version with a breakdown of some kind, if I can work it all out.. of course, none of it is any real instruments, even though I can kinda play guitar (just not in time or well, and my amp sucks).. It would be kinda cool to me if you'd like to put in something to the track, if you'd be interested, or if you'd like me to do some synth work for you or whatever, because I'm really interested in collaborating with someone, and it looks like you'd be pretty cool to collab with.

[Rough Draft: Extra Hours]

defiantly needs rework....in my opinion. Im all about structuring. Stil a pretty neat track.

[Agonized]

u did it again.......fucking amazing. FUCK i wanna have your skills

PirateCrab responds:

Haha thanks dude that means a lot! Keep practicing bro, if you ever need help just drop me a PM!

[Nemeans]

badass guitar riffs and drum beats and i love the quality of the tone of the guitars and everything. just one thing.....i felt like the song was too repetitive at some parts. the ending was pretty badass like the solos.

[Dicks In Your Butt]

its alright, just silly. the rapper needs more hype in this voice, just rapping in a monotone voice with reverb layer over it isn't gonna land u that platinum record

[Flippin Out]

well Gobble, this isn't your usual rape creepy shit. but still cud use some improvement. I.E.the drums. I blame the kit, i too have a problem with drum kits.

[Selflocked (wip)]

fuck dude, u rock. love the 000's and the leads. You have that Misha Mansoor or Nolly's style in playing. Defiantly the new sound of metal.

PirateCrab responds:

Quality man, they're both influences in my music! Being called the new sound of metal however is a mega compliment. Thanks bro!

[Synth-Punk Re-deux]

badass song.....i think the song would be better if u took out that lead that goes through out the entirety of the song and just enbrace more of the ryhthems that u laid out. The lead good but moderation is always the best way to go with everything....and i mean everything. Other than that cool song.

[Krushendo (K. Rool III)]

badass fucking song. Love the tone and quality. I always thought about doing a donky kong metal cover but u certainly nailed it.

Lashmush responds:

You should do one regardless. DKC music merits it. c:
