On the Untitled track I would get new drums (the ride is annoying) and add minimal amount of vocals. Full Blood Moon is good, but the production annoys me (not enough compression?!? needs more dynamics? not sure), and develop The Wicked One more, it's a bit short as is. Oh ya, also release a demo already.

Take note of how AlexiLaiho09 (...) on YouTube said "Did you compose that? It's pretty good. "

Yeah right now I am just using a drum machine so that should get fixed eventually, but thanks.

Condemned to silence got a good melody , but sounds like a melodic death Nintendometal
a lone wolfs cry got also a good melody (i like the acoustic path at the beginning ) but sounds too like melodic death nintendo metal

I like untitled, reminds me a bit of Windir, but as already stated the ride cymbal is annoying but shit I like it.

What do you mean by nintendo metal? If you are talking about the tone, all I have been using to record is my shitty computer mic, so I guess that could make each note kinda monotone sounding.

Guitars sound too fake to me, very electronic sounding.

by nintendo, he means, that the melody sounds like soundtrack to old pc game (yeah, thats true... even the tone is similar to midi :-D)

but i like it... but wouldnt call it death metal... (condemned)

guitar sounds very synthy... for real

i dont believe, that the War cover is played on guitar... sorry

the untitled track sounds more believable to me ;)

Probably has something to do with my computer mic, and on many of the harder riffs, especially a lot on the War cover, I used quite a bit of editing to make it cleaner sounding.

Ahh ok, I guess it has to do with many of the guitar harmonies in 3rds.

Yeah it's definately not death metal, but melodic death is very different, with simple and harmonized melodic riffs.

Guitar tone sucks I know.

The riff in War can be hard to play at that speed, so I edited it A LOT in that song. I'm putting up another video soon of me playing it straight through, now that I am much better at that riff. The one that's up right now was actually recorded about a year ago.

Do not EVER do that. If the guitar part is too difficult to play, either practice until you can play it or play something simpler.

Well, I'm not a very good guitarist, I have only been playing for less than 2 years, but I do try to edit as little as possible. I just really want other people to hear what I wrote.
