Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[AD] Gore Addiction]

This is great! It's somehow agressive and yet I feel relaxed listening to this... strange...
anyways. I like the riffs a lot. They are quite basic (as you said) but it never gets boring, as you managed to arrange them very good.
You also used some great effects during this song.

Lashmush responds:

Oh my god, you have the manliest username I've seen on NG to date!

Anyway, thanks. I just used the old "angry / soothing" contrast and worked with it the entire song. The part I enjoy most myself is the finish where both emotions combine.

Thanks for the kind words. ;D

Another great "quickie" by DarKsidE555 and speedmetal. I like the heavy guitars and the riff is great.
Oh, and of course the drums are awesome as well ;) .

DarKsidE555 responds:

sweeeet! Cheers and beers man! >:)

[Path Of Sorrows]

That was just great. Everything in this song is perfect! The intro is great, that phaser was just in it's right place there.
The short part after the intro is great as well. The atmosphere there is a bit depressing, and then you start to slowly get heavier and heavier....
It's very intense and I really love this!

[Halo Theme -(Metalized?)-]

The drums are great, but either the guitar sounds pretty messed up or the sound quality in general isn't that good. It really sounds as if there's just too much of everything: too much distortion, too much bass, ...
But apart from the bad sound quality the theme is very nice.

[|-| Destruction |-|]

Nice and heavy. A little bit too short maybe, but very nice. Great heavy riffs and heavy drums (I especially like the double base part towards the end).

DarKsidE555 responds:

thx dudenator! Cheers and beers!

[Danalpa's Riff Metalcaniz]

\m/

This is great! The guitar sound just is perfect! The riff really goes well together with the lead guitar and the drums fit in this perfect, too.
It sounds really epic and I can imagine that in a film like "Rocky" (or something similair), where the hero gets handed his ass to him first and then fighting his way back...

Metalcan responds:

Thanks a lot! You might be right on that fighting hero thing there.

Great drums and good, fast playing guitars! I like it. The only thing I don't like that much is, that the sound of the guitars is a bit "sludgy". Maybe a little less distortion would have been better.

DarKsidE555 responds:

By hearing it now...I say everything is sludgy on this lmao...not my standard anymore at all. Thanks for da review!

[Mega Man 3 - Top Man stage]

\m/

I like the sound on this one. Very clear; not too much bass, not too much treble.
The guitars are very good; very clean playing. Great!

DarKsidE555 responds:

Thanks! I just wish the drums would have been better on this. :/

I made them with beatcrap back then and compared to EZdrummer they suck like hell! >:(

[Mega Man X2 - Zero's Theme v2]

\m/

I dislike Mega Man, but I like this one! Good guitars and great drum!

DarKsidE555 responds:

Thanks mang! :D

I love those drums. They are very powerful and blasting. Are those real drums or is it a drum computer?
Anyway, the guitars are very nice, too. I like that riff. The structure of the song is also quite nice. It's very diversified.

GoreBastard responds:

Thanks mate!
Yeah the drums are a drum program called Acoustica Beatcraft and the samples I used are from Drumkit from Hell.
Cheers and beers!
