What are you recording With? I think the drums are a bit loud, and possibly the vocals. But who cares, it's your project.

I thought the keyboard parts were good, but the drums are too loud and sloppy and I can't hear the guitars. Maybe work on recording quality.

I liked the piano song and the intro to covered in blood. I think this has potential to be really good. For suggestions
I would say make the guitar a little louder because it is hard to hear at times ( unless that was your intention). For the vocals they are pretty raw ( in a good way) but sometimes it sounds like you are bored when you are singing. no offense or anything but the vocals on storm days are weak.

Terrible.

The drums have no relation to the riff being played and are way off time. And the riffs are not very good anyway.

Practice a lot more. Even low-key depressive black metal needs some tremolo picking and at least some nice double bass, if not blasts, and I heard neither. Was there even guitar on the first track?

Also, the vocals sounded a bit like a Strong Bad parody of black metal.

I don't think it'd be very marketable to form a DBM band and be like "hey guise plz check my stuff out!"

Very nice composition on Towards Nothing. You could really use a metronome though, and make your tremolo picking smoother. The piano is beautiful.

On Cry of the Hopeless, the piano riff is kinda boring compared to the other song, but still a nice idea. Probably a little too repetative, even for DBM.

Overall, you are very capable of writing great depressive black metal. Just work on smoothness, timing, and possibly some recording quality. Also the vocals are kinda loud. I enjoy it though and look forward to what you have in the future.

I don't listen to this kind of music much, but that sounded awful. And for the sake of my own sanity, get a new stage name.

Firstly, I would have a hard time believing this is a serious band with that stage name and band photo.

And if you are asking us to comment on your songs as, well, completed songs,
* Practice a LOT more in playing ON TIME.
* Record more than 1 take before considering a song complete
* Don't just record everything in a webcam microphone, run it through a distorsion filter, compress it into a 56 kbps mp3, and call that "production". Unless you're inspired by Merzbow, something is wrong when your songs sound like someone ripping bedsheets apart.
* Write more than 1 three-tone riff before saying to yourself "Ok, let's record this and it will hopefully turn into a song!" Ok, Burzum might have pulled it off with long songs and few riffs, but it shows when no thought is put into the composition process.
* Imo, you need a good excuse before having growls without distorted guitar. The intro was one of the most uninteresting and unmotivated "songs" I have ever heard.

Dude, its kinda boring no offence. Without sounding like an asshole, the songs are kinda bad. They sound really unstructured.

If you add better riffs and improve the quality of recording it would sound pretty good imo.
