FYI - Not horns, but an old foot pumped reed organ (or rather a sample library of one). It has a nice natural timbre solo but perhaps in the context of the mix this is not so discernible.mholland wrote: ↑Tue Dec 29, 2020 10:30 pm
The Pannacotta ArmyThe synth horns are a little distracting to me. I’m not sure if they’re meant to be woodwinds or brass or harmonicas/accordions, but something that sounds a bit more natural would work better for me.
SHAFT! Why can't I get it straight? SHAFT! Why can't I see it straight, oh! We can't let you we can't let you goooo! Where's Lorena when we need her!
I hate it with a period. It drives me crazy that the first time I did Nur Ein I added the period and even though I've never added it after I'm forever stuck with one there.lichenthroat wrote: ↑Thu Dec 31, 2020 1:53 pmPigfarmer Jr—I’ve been meaning to ask for a while: why no period after Jr? This is really solid. I see you’ve been working on your songcraft. Your vocal timing is good. Could you sing this a little lower? It might suit the song better. I like this overall. Vote.
Yeah, I often write my lyrics out and deviate from them as I perform -- sometimes even from take to take until I find a flow that feels natural. As for the SOAD comparison, they weren't exactly what I had in mind save for one bit: the abruptly shifting from screaming to talking for the last line of the song in a manner much like "Jet Pilot" which was totally intentional.jkelver wrote: ↑Fri Jan 01, 2021 6:56 pm
Phlebia – Usage of the word “tamponading” in an equally casual and intense manner. I realize I just said I don’t like much metal, but this leans more toward SOAD-style, and so I can fly with this. Side note: I noticed a few discrepancies between your posted lyrics and the performed lyrics, and I guess I’m just the kind of person who feels compelled to mention it.
When I started doing SongFight, I decided that I was going to submit every song I finished, even if I didn't like it. I didn't want my vanity to become any sort of impediment, and I figured I might learn something, even from the bad songs.jkelver wrote: ↑Fri Jan 01, 2021 6:56 pmEscapegoat – That lovely bit at the very beginning and end. I’m curious about your thought process/philosophy on this. You said in your post that you hate this song, so why did you then submit it? I appreciate that you did; I’m just interested in how you made the decision.
I'm not really a black metal fan, but that's the metal scream i was blessed with.sleepysilverdoor wrote: ↑Fri Jan 01, 2021 11:40 amPANOPLY what are you doing sounding like my spotify daily mix? I'm pleased with this warped chuggy black metal...death adjacent...something. .
this wasn't too hard, but nu metal and thrash background here, and playing some surf instrumentals with my father. i really didn't play any lead on this track.
thanks, I tried going with a Deftones type of hook in the chorus, but singing is definitely a weak spot for me.PaulBoring wrote: ↑Fri Jan 01, 2021 9:41 pmPANOPLY - I usually don't go heavier than Maiden because I'm big into hooks and choruses. That said, the guitar and drums are obviously really well done.
my feeble brain can't feel it.
heh, that's exactly what I went for last week. Stick around for a bit! While I can't do much for the next few weeks (I'm recording vocals for my Gift of Music assignment with a sleeping 5 day old infant in my lap), the fact there's someone else here who's unashamed about a nu metal influence is refreshing. Though I've never really cared much for Thrash -- most of my "real metal" listening falls into either brutal slam (urrbrrbrrrrrrrrbreeeeeeeeeeee) or sludge.
Unfortunately, I have no production knowledge or skills, and the guy who does all that for me just had a baby, so I will be submitting demos for awhile. Though I do enjoy these stripped-down versions, there will be some fleshing out in the future. Thanks for the comments!Pigfarmer Jr wrote: ↑Sun Jan 03, 2021 6:19 am
Giraffes for Wings: This is a fun arrangement. I mean, guitar, stomps and vocal isn't the most adventurous arrangement. But for songfight I could see you getting a bit of look down the nose (although that maybe was more prevalent a few years back.) I liked it though.
