Haha, cool, you make music too! :-)
Well, let's start at the intro.
The intro is pretty nice and smooth, but there's is something i don't like about it. I can't really say what, but i think it's not powerful enough. And with powerful i don't mean loud, a very quiet intro can be powerful too.
Then the bells come in. I really like the sound of those bells and the melody that it's playing is very nice!
You could've made things smoother when the next synth comes in, now it just suddenly pops into the song :P
I love it when that higher bell comes in. It's probably the thing that i like the most about this song. It's so soft and smooth, yet very attention demanding :P
When the violins take over it's like the song stutters every now and then. It's pretty weird XD
The violins are pretty nice though.
To be honest i don't like the transistion to the reversed part at all. The reversed part comes at a really unexpected moment.
But the reversed part itself is pretty nice and original too!
Overall i think that the song is very good, but that it's less enjoyable because of the small flaws here and there. But with or without the little flaws, this song deserves to have a 10/10 and a 5/5 :D
Well, that was my review. I hope that i wrote some things that are helpful to you.
Lol, 'course I make music! >:P
I'm so happy for some new input, you can't imagine. This did help :3
Thanks for listening! :D:D! And leaving an awesome review <3 !
Before i 5ed this, you had a score of 1.83. Newgrounds just isn't fair sometimes :(
But hey, what does a rating say if you know that you deserved better?
Anyway, i really like the deepness of the song. I'll put on my headphones now, to check if i can discover any flaws or imperfections.
It seems like the percussion is panned to much to the left, you could change that.
Well, that's actually the only imperfection i can hear, the rest of the song is really great.
Wait, now that i hear it for a 2nd time, i think the outro could've been better. It feels kinda awkward to just fade out.
So, that's my review, i hope i helped you :D
I'm putting you on my favourite artist list.
This song is full of little details and it's just so well composed. Man, everytime i make a song you give me very helpful reviews and i want to write helpful reviews back, but i can't. I can't hear anything to improve.
I guess i'll have to write a little story then :P
00:00-00:02
I see some sort of demon and it's a very creepy one.
00:03-00:23
After being in some sort of a shock, i decide to run.
I'm running for my life and a demon is chasing me, how more exiting can it be?
00:24-00:34
A dead end!
The demon is getting closer rapidly and i have no idea which way to go!
What should i do?
00:35-00:44
Fortunatly, i see a small hole in the wall and i'm crouching through it. The demon doesn't fit in the hole, so i'm finally safe.
00:45-00:55
When i reach the end of the little tunnel i crouch out and see a ruined city. I look around me searching for a sign of life.
00:56-01:16
I get a strange feeling that somebody's watching me, but i just continue walking in the city, wondering what could've damaged the buildings so badly.
01:17-01:37
Oh no, there's that demon again! I decide to hide in a house, because i think he didn't see me... or did he?
01:38-01:48
The demon is really close now, i can hear him breathing. He breaths really heavy and that makes me even more scared.
01:49-02:05
Phew, it walks away from me now. That's a big relief.
I walk out of the ruined house, into the forest.
02:06-02:17
Suddenly i hear i loud scream pretty close to me. I don't know where the scream came from or who produced the scream, but i run. I run as fast as my legs can carry me.
02:18-02:38
I look behind me and i see another demon is chasing me know. I know that this isn't the one i saw before, because this one is twice as big! NOOO!!!
02:39-02:51
I trip over a big branch that fell of a tree.The demon comes closer and closer... will this be the end of me?
02:52-03:02
Suddenly the sun begins to shine very bright. The demon dissolves in the rays of the sun and i am saved
03:03-03:10
I wake up in my bed.
All of this was a dream... or wasn't it?...
That story fit perfectly with the song, I have to say. Especially the part where he's getting chased by an even bigger demon. This makes me want to tell a story of my own:
Pre-story:
Thousands of slaves are toiling under the monstrous tyranny of their captors, but today is the day that they will fight for their freedom....or die!!!
0:00
A few sporadic fights break out. They gain momentum and grow into a huge riot.
0:13
The fighting gets more organized and intense, and the revolution has begun.
0:23
The leader of the rebels smiles proudly at his men, while suiting up for a long and vicious battle.
0:34
He starts giving commands to his generals, and they in turn start giving commands to their men. The slaves-now-rebels jump into formation, armed to the teeth with their smuggled weaponry.
0:45
Now they start toward the battlefield, marching in their formation to the drumbeat.
0:56
The battle intensifies. Men drop one after another. Blood stains the soil, and the sound of clashing swords can be heard for miles.
1:17
The rebel leader witnesses his best friend and toughest ally get slain by an enemy soldier. However, the leader is unable to do anything due to being engaged with another soldier. Rage starts building, and continues to build even as two other soldiers join in the attack on him. He struggles with them at first, but starts to fight back as the rage builds up enough
1:28
He strikes all three soldiers down, one by one! Rage peaking, he mowes through a whole line of soldiers. His men, witnessing this, rally and start to mow down their opponents too. Meanwhile, the leader pursues the soldier who killed his best friend.
1:38
The leader catches the soldier, who had managed to kill 5 other rebels prior. He and the rebel leader lock in an epic battle. Meanwhile, the enemy's ranks start to look thin as the rebels cut through them.
2:00
The leader parries a blow, knocking the enemy soldier off guard, then delivers the final blow, a stab directly in the heart of the enemy soldier.
1:52
Meanwhile, a rebel's wife watches the battle unfold from a safe distance, full of fear for her husband's safety and the safety of the rebels as a whole.
2:02
A slow smile creeps across her face when she realizes that the rebels are winning...until she sees the forces advancing from the west.
2:07
These forces aren't like the forces that the rebels are fighting. These new forces are better trained and more equipped. They march toward the battle with the look of seasoned professionals.
The leader sees them, and immediately warns his men of the upcoming battle.
2:18
The new soldiers join the fight, and what was once a war has become a bloodbath. Many a rebel and a soldier fall during this battle. The leader almost loses hope, even as he fights for his life and the lives of others.
2:29
A glimmer of hope....the enemy forces start retreating. The rebels gain morale and expel the last of the soldiers.
2:39
The last of the soldiers flee.
2:44
The rebels begin to survey the death toll. It is vast. The wives begin to come back, many of them now widows. With the rebels together again, they collect their wounded, collect any provisions that they can and start their arduous journey to a safe haven.
They finally gained their freedom, but only 10% of them lived to experience it....
This is better than the other version. And that's really cool, because the other version was already very good.
So, actually i have to give you a 11 or 12 out of 10, but since that isn't possible you get a
10/10
5/5

I still don't think this is at it's zenith, I can still make this better so I am going to keep doing that. This is a draft I guess but it's a pretty solid draft at that. you'll just have to give the next one a 15, ;D
Another great job. I don't really know what else to say, it's just awesome.
I liked that slightly detuned synth too and the melody that it's playing.
Also, i like the feel of this track. It's dark, but very light. I don't know how to say it.
Oh, and awesome drums man! Really awesome and an incredible great job.
Well, that was my review. Keep making music like this!

it feels dark because it is midnight and light because that means it is time to get your rave on.
this song was a throwback to my old style just using my newer skills and production techniques. And you will be seeing a lot more like this. Stellar review, see you later.
This is a great song man, you did a very good job.
I can't really hear any mistakes, so i'm sorry, i just have to give you a ten :P
This song is not repetitive at all and that's really good :D
Keep it up!

You thought this wasn't better as my song?
Well, i think it is. The only problem that the sound of the guitars is weird sometimes. Actually, the sound of the most synths is really filtered.
The structure and the drums of this song are really good! :D
Great job man, only work on your sound production (i know, i'm a hypocrite :P)

I agree with Helth that the intro is a bit empty. An intro can be empty sometimes, but not for so long.
So lets skip to 02:00 when the empty part is over :P
I really like it from there, you're really good at making trance/dance songs. The only thing is (and that's a problem with a lot of trance/dance songs) that it's too repetitive. And there's isn't really a lead melody.
Other than that, good job!
9/10

Shit man, this is some really epic stuff.
What more can i say after the review from Gravey1? :P
Keep this up and never, NEVER give up on music.
