Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Through Space And Time]

\m/

The intro is really nice, it's very powerfull. The slower parts are good as well, but a lot of the energy from the intro is somehow lost. But I like how you managed the changeovers from 'fast' to 'slow' and back.
It's a good song, but it would be even better with some kick-ass vocals!

TheRealSam responds:

Thanks man :)
I've put vocals on this song but I don't think I'm gonna put it on NG.

[Wha???????]

\m/

Hm, I don't know wether I like this or not.
On the one hand it sounds annoying and there doesn't happen that much in this piece. On the other hand it sounds "psychadelic" and I can imagine this in a flash with a very strange and terrifying main theme.

Audiomaster responds:

When i made this i didn't know what it would really be about. I just made it.

[Down In Fire]

\m/

I like the main riff of that song, it rocks! Reminds me a bit of early "Ramones"-songs, heh.
The sound quality is a bit low, so that all sounds a bit "sludgy".
I think that the first solo doesn't fit into this song, whereas the second solo is quite fitting.
Overall it is a nice rock song that shows that you have great talent.

TheRealSam responds:

Wow thank you a lot! :)
Well, this song was made when I was begining to compose my own solos (or soli, I don't know). That is why they sound weird, or not in the right tone.
But anyway, thanks a lot, I'll keep workin on this :)

[DERANGED (Better Quality)]

\m/

So, now I've listened to both versions (with and without vocals) I have to say that I like this version better. The vocals sure add more diversity to the song, so that it doesn't get boring halfway through.
And I also have to say: You sound a bit like Hetfield in this song.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks man. I kinda agree. The song is kinda boring without. ON the flip side, the recording of the instruments and vocals were with very old and not the greatest equipment. I would love for Pitchblak to revisit this with better drums, tone...and maybe some bass. I have learned MUCH since this song (also took some actual lessons). With regards to singing, mixing, compression, etc etc. I think this would seriously fucking rule, revisited. For sure.

The Hetfieldish vocals were me resorting to my Metallica Cover Band days...Sooooo many moons ago. Anyways Thanks for another wicked review and support!

Good guitars and nice drums, but it gets boring very fast. It just happens too little in the song, there's nearly no diversity. Vocals would help a lot here, I think.

pitchblak responds:

Yeah, thanx for the advice. It was my first attempt @ recording. Badman does have a version with vocals though. You should check it out Thanx 4 the review

[Chainsaw Charly]

It's a nice song and the beginning reminds me a bit of some Type 'O' Negative-songs.
But as the guy below me said, the sound is a bit overdone. There's just too much of everything... well, actually just the guitar effect is too much, but that makes it sound as if the whole song is overburden with effects.

The vocals are good and they fit good in this song.

viviseration responds:

I actually used no effects at all, this was recorded with a cheap mic from an 8 inch BC Rich amp. I think theirs three layers at some points though

[**_Chaos_**]

\m/

Great riffs and also great drums. The rhythm of this song is nice, too, but it's a tad bit too short for my taste.
Anyways, great song and rock on!

DarKsidE555 responds:

thanks man!

[The Enemy [Volatile]]

\m/

This song is awesome! Sheer heaviness and brutality added with great riffs and awesome drums! The vocals are perfect for this song! GREAT!

SlothClock responds:

Thanks man, this was one of my favorite songs to play live. Really got the crowd going. Appreciate those kind words of metal approval.

[Dunes of Hades]

\m/

Great riffs and good drums. This makes me wanna headbang instantly! :)
The vocals are ok, but the clean vocals need some more work. They are decent, but they can be a bit better. It just sounds a bit strange... but on the other hand, they remind me a bit of old Blind Guardian songs, so maybe the vocals are pretty good after all... ^^.
Anyways, I like this song!
