The music was decent, wasn't a fan of the singer it felt to me like he was putting on that voice.

Also there's a band called the blackout, I know you are A blackout but you might wanna rethink the name they are kinda similar.

I liked it. Not hit straight away, no chill aspect, but... nice song overall. Singer have not yet reached his potential, but I liked his style... and definately a promising talent there. Was that real violin there? Nice guitar playing btw :)

Not bad for a first attempt.

Vocals: A little weak and out of tune, but I liked him.

Rhythm Guitar: Faded very poorly from heavy to soft. Clean tone was a little too twangy for me, but the distorted tone was decent and the riffs were ok.

Lead Guitar: Hiding? Where was it? I thought I heard an attempt, but it was covered by that violin sounding thing.

"Violin sounding thing": I don't mean to insult, but either take it out or really rethink its usage. The beginning phrase was fine, just remember that less is more (it was too aggressive), but the phrasing over the guitar solo was just plain bad.

Drums and Bass: Sounded great. Drum mix-down needs some work, but not bad. Bass volume was perfect. This is where your money is, I wouldn't change a thing, save for tweaking the mix-down for the drums.

Over all not bad. I hope my comments didn't come off too harsh I was just being honest. I think there is a lot of potential here, just keep at it and do some tweaking. Can't wait to here y'alls next effort.

Rock on!

To me violin is ok

Vocals suck to be honest,get a better one,or if you are the vocal,let other sing,they are really weak my friend

Rythm guitar - yes,the transition is bland,but as i see it,this is a very basic demo

Lead + Violin = NO both instruments soloing is sucky to be honest

Only bad thiings from this demo are the transitions from guitar tones,the violin in the solo section and the vocals,aside from that its cool man

I think the singer was good, Just needs a little more "umph" and emotion on the choruses. By the way, who is the singer? Its not you, is it?

I can't place which deathrock band's singer sounds like that. The vocal sound too clean and could use a little processing.

Pretty good tune...thumbs up.

I know thius is an old post but I comment whether or not there's anybody in the room.

I heard a good song, good musicians, a fine vocalist BUT a piss-poor production.
You guys need someone to cmix it down correctly.
That's it.
For a first creation, it was better than mine some 43 years ago.
I got better too.

I was thinking the same thing, Song was good, players were good, it just needed recorded better.

Sounded like a a boom mike in a garage.

I'm not a pro, but you should see about getting a proper studio time for a demo or at least a multi-track recorder. Stop my my house set up in my garage and I'll record you on my casette 4-track. won't be perfect, but better.

Nice work buddy, keep it up!!!!
