@Teek :D I like that song and I guess I found a new Anime to watch.
Redid my cover and I have a basic workflow down to record further covers.

what type of guitar is that? is that a schecter?
You also need to do some tweeking for your intonation to make sure it's as close to in tune as possible, and you gotta watch that G string, cause they're always a mother fucker for tuning.
You've got good timing and you've got the passion enough to record yourself doing it, so thats really all you need.

Yeah it's a Schecter. I wanted to check my intonation a few days ago, I have some free time today so I might do it today. Is it a common problem with Schecter and the G-string? I remember a time having a problem with it but now it stays in tune just beautifully.
I like D string. It doesn't fucking go out of tune as easily as the rest of them.

how i managed to get around mine (for the most part) is i have a Roland GR 55 Guitar synth board, which lets me adjust tunings on the fly, without touching anything. Saves me having to play with it all the time and in my opinion it holds a note a hell of alot better now.
Heh you sound like the original :D I hope no vocal chord issues?
Also, sounds like you recorded it pretty well.

As much as I understand the disdain for 4 and For Answer I enjoyed the atmosphere of melancholy and despair in the story, especially when you find out who White Glint is this time around.
I love this series.
V and Verdict Day are great too.

Re: New Youtube Thread Mark III
but why death metal >_<
Music works better with an eb in flow, rise to crescendo's, depth and contrast. In terms of singing they just dont have that >_<
It's like a rollercoaster 50m's in the air, that is in a straight line

Most of the crap masquerading as death metal these days actually isn't. Old school death metal wasn't about just being as br00tal as possible, it was about creating an eerie atmosphere, like a horror movie.

The vocals are definitely an acquired taste, but I think that album has a cool atmosphere to it

Well, the question is who or what gives melody to a song. If the vocals are that monotone, the guitars have to compensate for rollercoaster.
My only problem is when the band obviously only spend 5 minutes to make a song e.g. Pookys last link by Cannibal Corpse. Are you serious? Some guitar warm up riffs, drummer is uncreative so he blast beat's his way through and you call that a solo??? Nothing against your taste in music.

Re: New Youtube Thread Mark III
the thing is in most death metal i've heard, the guitars are a VERY poor substitute for vocal melody. Because it's just to be BROOtAL MAN.
I'll listen to screaming, growling, clean vocals and anything in between.... but it's just so incredibly obvious when you compare shit like that to say In Flames who are genuinely very melodic. Hell or even Parkway Drive.
The entire point of screaming and growling is to get across powerful emotions, whether it's resolve, anger, hate, fear or whatever. That message is ultimately watered down by it ONLY being screaming. So it's actually less BRUTAL..........

Yeah Cannibal Corpse wasn't a great example. But I was at work and posting links from my phone is a HUGE pain in the ass, so I just posted the first few songs that came to mind where the vocalist is doing more than monotone cookie monster grunts. I'm not a fan of those either.

Depends how you look at it I guess. Death metal isn't for everyone. I don't think melody is a required element in good music.
You should give Mental Funeral a listen though zilla. That was the album that got me into death metal, precisely because it's so different from the stereotype of what death metal is supposed to sound like.
That's not to say I have anything against stereotypical, I do enjoy listening to Cannibal Corpse sometimes ^^
Posted this on this forum a long time ago. Definitely awesome :D There you have a good guitar/synth replacement as melody.

This is where many people part. I myself agreee 100% with you and love powerful emotions in screaming but I know many people who simply don't care about this and even dislike this. I like to distinguish between "(Metal)Core Scene" and the traditional metal.
got a problem bro? can't handle the simplistic but powerful drums, the hypnotic basslines, and the insane synths? (not talkin about my music, dub in general)

Re: New Youtube Thread Mark III
so yeah, new cover, 2 friends and me now have made a collective, for now I am just posting covers (few more to go) but we are already working on our own stuff.
Theres nothing more i love on this earth, when someone comes up with something original and funny, and over time it's sucked of all it's soul by talentless hacks riding bandwagons.
