[The Pole]

Mmm...strippers...

More of chill techno than industrial, but I like the slow synth arp, and the bass drum isn't pounding at your ears like other songs. Pretty ambient, all in all.
8.5

ThermalLaser responds:

Thanks Man!

[01.Fire Within (Full)]

Will do.

Is it bad of me to like this synthy guitar type of metal? It sounds cool to me. Although the speedy breakdown at 1:57 needed a little work. The drums sounded weird for some reason, and the guitar notes weren't split up enough. But overall, a good song. Except for the title. Reminds me of Dragonforce :P

Aslan-Emanuel responds:

Thanks, dude. I don't know if I'll never do any of these again, but we'll see. I'm really glad you liked the song, and I hear what you're talking about. But I don't quite hear the Dragonforce part. Haha, And are you saying the name is not good, or not Dragonforce?

[DJ NTD - The Sunday After]

Not really hip-hop, which is good...

I hate hip-hop. The beginning reminds me of a lounge-y electronic version of a Charlie Brown song.
When I listen to the song, it makes me think of sitting on the sidewalk under a tree on a cloudy Thursday afternoon. It's raining, cars are passing by, I'm not really thinking about anything.
Until 1:59. I start to think of my friends, my family, those that have wronged me, those that I'm angry at. That one person that seems to care about me regardless of how much I ignore her or are a jerk to her. Loyal as a sister.
3:10. A drop of rain splattered onto my nose. It has gotten heavier without me noticing. Same clouds, same monotonous patterns of the cars passing me by. Not really knowing what I'm feeling. She happens to be across the street, but I don't notice until she leaves the bus stop, arm slung around her boyfriend.
3:58. Regret shoots through my mind. I wonder what I expected to gain from this solitude. I get up to run after the bus, but as I do, the time hits me. 4:30; She left 2 hours ago. The street lights flickered on, and I slung my backpack around my shoulder and start my journey home.
Relaxing song. I think this should be its own genre: Loungestep.

NikolaosTheDark responds:

Thanks for the review, man. I'm REALLY glad that someone can relate to the mood of this song in that kind of way.

I'm actually looking a bit more into this relaxing dubstep subcategory. You sound like you'd enjoy Matty G. He did a set on GetDarker with tracks paying testament to old school west coast hip-hop/R & B. Really chill, almost funky. It's got me inspired.

Thanks again. I hope more story-esque tracks come along with time.

[JERK]

I hate rap...

But this has my seal of approval. Honestly, vocals would screw this up.
INDUSTRIAL FTW!

Andres360 responds:

Thanks Bro :]

[L2D Horde]

CRAP

Did you master all of this? Great work! IwaskindawonderingifIcouldcoverinanex perimentalfashion?

Aslan-Emanuel responds:

I did everything you hear...digitally. I've just started using a real guitar, but I won't post any submissions of it until I have some and I finish posting all my digital ones. Can you cover this? Yes. I'll try to tab it if you need it. But, don't ask me to recreate it, since my harddrive died, and I'm not wanting to...anyways, yeah. I'm lazy. The end.

Hope to hear your cover soon. (P.S. I sent this in a PM, too.)

[Cosmic Prolapse]

Nice Song for a Rainy Day

This is a pretty good track, but might I suggest a bit of precussion or some static bits. It's fine the way it is, though.

ShatterTheSky22 responds:

Yeah, I think especially some static bits would have worked well in here. Especially with the heavy distortion already there. Thanks for the score and review! ^__^

[TSR Audio]

[The Machines <Finished>]

A little advice...

Maybe on the piano bit, have some sort of vocals, not nessecarily singing. Also, the last synth breakdown could be replaced with some melodic static and a bit of synth.

DJ-Fr0stbite responds:

yeah i was thinking of adding some sort of choir the the background of the piano part. thanks for the advice :)

[B L A C K L I G H T]

Amazing

I see some Trent Reznor and possibly some classic rock inspiration. Nice track, and good use of lo-fi.

LupeGarcon responds:

Not really a fan of Reznor. But if you like it then say whatever you like.

[CV: Pulse (Demo)]

Nice

Funny how the so called 'industrial' artists here haven't even heard of rivethead. Hoorah?
Anyway, nice song. I'd suggest maybe cutting down on the intro and lengthening, but other than that, it's pretty bitchin'.

CognitionVault responds:

Haha, yeah. 40 seconds is pretty long for a static intro. We're aiming for making this around 6 minutes, so we've still got lots of work to do. We've got to kick out the kinks, master it, smooth out transitions, add a backing synth, bass, and lead guitar. This project is massive, and we love how it's progressing. Thanks for the suuggestions. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

P.S. This is Brian. I'm a rivethead, though people mistake me for goth. >:D
EDIT: This is Tino. I run around in gas masks and doesn't afraid of anything.
