Holywar20's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fall of Osiris]

Nice tune

Its not so much the volumes are bad, its that the mastering doesn't put things appropriatly in the high end or low end.

i find that when i play guitar, i get my best sound with all low end and high end. I just cut the middle right out. When you shred you peirce the soul, when you palm, your the legions of hell. The dynamic works out well.

It sounds too flat, and thats one way to fix it. Otherwise this is totally awesome music from which to destroy your enemies to.

Devastus responds:

You're quite right, it's not even hard to notice when I listen carefully that especially the riff guitars have too much middle in the EQ. Thanks for pointing that out :)

Most likely I will be doing a remaster version of this and fix some of the other things at the same time too.

[Libertis Melitis]

This Deserves a better score

because right now im ready to go to war and smite something evil for the glory of mankind!

For "Constructive" crits, giving that baseline a bit more kick might help give it that feeling of "Inevitability" or Marching soilders. Still very very nice. 5 of 5 and 9 of 10.

[And the Storm Will Come]

This could be alot longer

You could totally stretch that metal part out about 2 minutes, and then finish with a 2 minute outro and make it a true epic.

5 of 5 ,, ,but no 10 on review till you make it worthy of z ten with more awesome.

Holywar Has Spoken! Go Forth and Write a Masterpeice!

theinfernumflame responds:

I very well may do that in some form, possibly making it even longer than that. Depends on if I end up making a full song out of it.

Thanks for the review.

[All My Friends(piano)]

Your Comments

Made me laugh. Or LOL, as is common in internet culture venicular.

[+Prologue+]

No complaints

Its a solid peice. I think a bit of accompaniment would have really helped this shine, but i think it still come out pretty well. Has a sort of Myserious element to it at first, then it gets adventury, almost resolved.

WritersBlock responds:

Yeah, I had originally planned to add an orchestra to it, but I wasn't sure how to approach it. Thanks for the review. It's great to hear the encouraging feedback.

[_-={Thirst for Blood}=-_]

Something about this

was lacking. Im not sure what it is, maybe its just that your style doesn't mesh well with the style you were going for, but it felt disconnnected at parts, like two diffrent songs were taking turns for the spotlight.

Its still good mind you. But its just good and not outstanding, which we have come to expect from you now. Its what you get for setting the bar so high. I wish i had specific crits for you, but really it just overall isn't terribly interesting. Hardly a useful review i know. I'll work on my music vocab and visit this later when i can say something meaningful. :)

MaestroRage responds:

maybe, but it's time to take steps out of the mold you know? I've grown a little tired delivering the same thing again and again. It's true that this may not be the most powerful song, but every new venture starts at step one right :)? I'll get there, one step at a time.

It's still very useful as a review Holywar. It's good to know general reactions to a song, whether it was enjoyable despite being well built, things like that are in the end, more important tome then technical jargon.

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it! I hope my future works will not disappoint you :D!

[Royal Conundrums V2]

i Agree

With the below estimation. The distorition really doesn;t do this peice justice.

One of the instruments sounds sort of naturally discordant, and your using that to carry the peice at points, and im not sure thats fits. You could probally replace that instrument with like a Cello or something and i think it would flow a bit easier.

5 of 5
9 of 10 on review.

[Melancholy]

Under Voted imho

Probally one of NG's best. Though that term is thrown around alot for some real crapolla, this is a super deep and complex peice, with a nice simple melody that ties it together.

My only complaint is in places the sounds are a tad fake sounding. But its barely noticable. I always endevour to leave constructive crits, even on peices that for the most part are perfect.

ParishIsDead responds:

Thank you very much for the perfect 10. Please tell everyone you know about me!!! I am shooting for a perfect 10!!!

[Legions of the underworld]

Im not going to vote zero

and nuke your score in case i am wrong, so don't take it personal, but i swear i have heard this somewhere before .... like i downloaded this from limewire a long time ago, but i don't remember what it was.

If im wrong, or you can tell me what inspired this, i would appreciate it if you let me know. Don't want to have the wrong impression. :)
