THIS NIGHT (new vocal mix)
Nice and tight distorted guitars! Clean enough to still be nasty!
Love the rhythm guitar groove behind the intro!
Very nice melodic metal harkens back to Maiden circa Piece of Mind era, and vocals are pure Ozzy at the beginning - a compliment of course. Rated.
really nice guitars on this song. Heavy, yet melodic...great combination.
great sound your getting from your 8 track sounds so fresh, like it a lot, nico.
this is quite sweet and vox are like fear factory, id be happy with that :)
Cool ! Guys!
I like! ROCK AND ROLL ! GUYS ! SPIRE
Don't know how I've missed this until now. I'm a big fan of your stuff having burned quite a bit of it. Love that crunch about half way. Nice structure, p qual and comp. Rates!
The new mix is Sooooo good! I love to listen to Peter's voice all the time but this is better than the old one in as much as the tiny bits if strained high have gone entirely. This is one of the greatest my children,, Thank you for sharing (again) with all of us
Bit of Sabbath in there - very nice
Hell ya... I liked this... Everything sounds tite to me.... I think the vocals are cool as! nice guitar work and construction! gets my votes dude!
Wow. I like the opening. Very nice Metal sounding guitar riff. And here we go with the vocal. I never heard the first version... Sounds like a weird voice but it really does work. I was surprised at first but it actually fits pretty good. The drums are top notch. I love those drums. And the melody of the vocals are awesome. Very nice sequence of vocals. And man oh man is that solo guitar a major atomic bomb. Greaaaaat stuff. Awesome! I'm so hyped up from it. lol Then we go into the vocals again. The sound of the voice might be odd but if that's you, you know how to sing and it fits in with the harmony. That's the important part. Lots of energy here. Loads. All in all, man. The song sounds great. Vocal maybe might need a tiff of a bit of work but that is NO problem. Trust me. I'm just being honest. As far as everything coming together, hat's off, dude. That was fenomenal. This song is so frickin' cool. It reminded me of a softer Dragon Force band. Wicked guitar solo. I pictured someones hands almost exploding on a guitar. lol Have a great day! Rated for sure. Thanks for the download too!
Nice guitar rythm to start off...Really like the vocal melodies! Double kick is nice to tighten things up a bit and a really nice break. Nice refrain and then back into the chorus! Thanks for sharing!
Wow...Quality old school melodic metal! Guitars are awesome....freakin hell the whole song just kicks ass! Production is great and the vocals are excellent! Great song!
Jeez this is nice!! And i generally hate metal!!...wtf! Brilliant envious gtr sounds ...and a great prod too. Rated easily by me guys... Mick
good hard rockin' track, very awesome.
Don't know how I missed this first time so I cannot compare with the original. The 'new' package sound amazing and of excellent quality.Ratred for sure and a nom from me! Take Care Andy :)
Love the quality. What is your new 8 track? Sounds fab to me.This is a classic. Nice doubled vox. The guitar tones are grabbers. Great job.
Vox are very clear......excellent around 1:30........drums are fine pattern-wise but the sounds are too polite lol......I love the picture above your comments!.........all in all I like this more as I listen.....that chorus is really good!! Glad to come back. Kevin Mooney
not my usual listen but enjoyed it just the same
Gday Peter, dynamic sound, great lyrics,nasty nasty guitar and solo just caps it off.Totally enjoyed this and being new I get to be able to rate it , not having heard the original. well done mate!
Hey just heard this before I came onto the boards a few minutes ago!! Classic Brit is defo what this is!! The guitars on this track are stinging!! I'm gonna pinch a download of this for my Mp3player! LOL!! Nice job. The drum pattern is really tight, and the vocals just bring out the great production... One of those tracks that really make you stop and think, very good progression on this also!! well produced and arranged!! Rated!! Darren.
Nice chord progression, reminiscent of a bit of old Megadeth but played in the style of Maiden. Good mix as well. Maybe vocal a wee bit loud for my taste, but definitely a good vocal performance. Good piece of music this. Rated.
my comments still stand from before...will have to take your word on the improved vocals...as its been ages since i heard this one...top track guys very cool performance....old skool all the way :) thumbs up
New vocals sound splendid, great song by the way, rater tasty mix as well, cracking stuff, rated :)
This is why you're in my top three favourite artists on this site....I could listen to this all day...I have the original and I'll take a DL to update my files again...thanks Peter.
Back for a new listen dude. Still sounds cool as f@ck and your voice is perfect for Billy's guitar style. Would rate agen if could!!
oh, I just love well mixed tracks. Nice work, really driving piece! Nice old school metal m'man,can't think of anything else to add. BTW good lyrics.
rawwk! great guitar work, needs much more attention to drums but i respect this has been recorded on an 8 track so i think youve done a tremendous job with such constraints. Not really my thing but enjoyed the listen.
Hi, Cool melody and build up from the start! Strong vocals. Solid lyrics too. Reminds me of something good that I can't put my finger on...maybe hints of Mellatica. Fantastic guitar work throughout! Rated. Cheers, Smudge from Smudgie
Very melodic, I really like your vocal effect, it's quite soundgardenish. And of course I love the pure lead guitar.
Great song here! Nic and punchy with great separation in the mix! Drums and bass work really well together keeping the song driving! Vocals are clear and articulate! Nice double kick work! Tones are sweet on the guits and the break is so unpretentious adn melodic! Enjoyed this!
oh ya this is just great. Great British Metal!!! rated eric aka bad love junkie
Wish I could d/l these songs but my comp is being crap! Kicking solo btw. \m/*~*\m/
I really like this....makes me feel nostalgic in a good way...there's something epic about this type of track and even though I'm not generally into it, I appreciate the genre. Rated . Kevin Mooney.
Very nice.......Good job guys
I enjoy the intricasies of this piece. Peter is giving a great performance,,, it gives me shivers. I really love it,,, it is so well done,,, I just want it to have,,, thanks for sharing the talent with us Guys
Greetings D.D. like your music sounds good, Don't mean to be rude but are you sure its metal. Not colse to maiden or Judas preist. This would be metal in comparision to the groups above. http://www.mp3unsigned.com/showmp3.asp?mp3ID=41139 Sorry thats the way it is. Keep up what your doing though its good stuff.
And another congratulations in the charts again this week! Toooo cooool! :)
traditional british metal indeed!!! brought me back!!! excellent, rated
This is class old skool metal. Apologies for the none add of you guys before. Rated, recommended and nommed to boot!
Hey fellas, nice track,ascending riffs to me have a iron maiden flavor, but I also hear some priest influences. Rockin drums and great tones on the axes. Vocals a big big plus. Rated, recd, reviewing and nom. Good luck
Lovely track, guys. Those guitars are crystal clear, great vocals, i'd have mixed in a bit more drums myself, but this is top notch material!! Definite nomination!
i like this alot, im a big fan of porcupine tree and it reminded me of them in there earlier days! ( hope you dont mind comparisons?) rated. dave.
Congratulations on that #18 chart spot this week! Way to go! Great song! :)
Hey guys, Good to see you have a new track up. realy like this, the melody is great for this kind of stuff. I listen to this and instead of thinking of days gone by, I think of bands like Nevermore and hints of opeth. The melody is definatley in the scales that Nevermore would use, which I love. Great track, much respect to you on this. My kinda thing so a Big R and a nice N to keep it company Steve
Aye - missed this somehow through the week - I'm certainly getting the NWoBHM influence here. This would sit well in my vinyl collection for sure - almost sounds like a Wytchfynde cover at times (this is an especially good thing for those who don't know that band), especially the chorus section, but with a modern, clean twist - with a little more depth or reverb to the thing (I'm listeningt o it again with the soundcard's reverb switched on and it works wonders), this would be a truly epic piece - clean is good too though, so it's really a minor critisism. Agreed with that comment to about the rising chord changes near the beginning, very Metallica too (which isn't hard to see considering the oroginal influences of that band). Performance wise, I can't fault a goddamn thing *jealous*. Good work, fellas. Have another rating - well deserved in my eyes.
Great intro. love the clean arpeg against the rhythm guitars. You've got a great voice too... old skool for sure and it rocks. Rated.
fantastic vox...guitars are amazing...taking a download...just love this (lyrics are great too!!) drums top notch and if this dont deserve a nomination I just dont know what does.. if I have not mentioned it before, I love your piccy which I am presuming is an album cover? whatever, it is fab!
riffage is great. ohh vocals just came in, enchanting. good effects and harmonizing. then the riff back in. its nice to hear some metal floating around on these boards. i use to really dig this stuff. this more on the melodic metal that reminds me of some of metalica stuff. not many peeps doing this, well done. rated, enjoyed, recommended...
Has a Maiden feel to the heavier guitar riffs, good balance between arpeggio and hard riffs. Some vocal harmony's vould set this off
Good track dude. I like the production - it sounds very pro. The guitar sounds particularly impress me and the vocals compliment perfectly. Rated
awesome shred, as always :) never fail to impress and gr8 drums :D i dont think you have ever disapointed when i visited your page. nice vocas 2 :) top stuff m8 thumbs up
cool track, very nicely done, great vocals, nice guitar work, top production, ratings...
Been a while since I checked you out, another nice piece! Certainly hits the 'Classic Sound' of the 80's. Nice bit of lead in the middle, melodic lead is my favourite, no unecessary widdly bits;-) Good job.
Top notch track. Well played, love the sound you have on the gutiars. Rated.
rated and recommended too..this is powerful stuff to me...and the mix it faultless and it gets better as the song goes on...awesome playing guys...im hearing some old fav influences on here...judas priest for one..who ive not heard in ages
I like this a lot - I haven't anything like this since "caravan". I think your vocals work really well. I was imagining a million things to change with the guitar lines - this usually means you;ve done it just right!!!! - more please!
What a great song creation by you! Very nice/lots of energy. Enjoyed the song itself, your vocals and instruments of choice. Production sounding clear! Nice flow... Rated :) Cool front page picture!
Great song. Love the guitars. I like the ascending riff on the intro. Beautiful clean crisp voxy guitar blends great with the heavy riffs. Good vocals as well. Nice range. Priest influence for sure...great band. Thnaks for letting me listen. Rated!!!!
DARK DREAMS is the amalgamation of two solo projects DARKNESS and FOGG. Both members are committed to constant improvement in songwriting and recording techniques. The music on offer is a rare blend of Traditional British Metal, taking the influences of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, and adding a unique style of its own. The songs range from Soft Rock to Speed Metal, with each one offering something different. The music is recorded and mixed at home, using synth drums and guitar effects pedals. A great deal of multi-tracking gives these songs a well produced sound, considering that inexpensive equipment is used in their construction. Vocals are complimentary rather than being the dominant feature. Click image for more music: ----- Band images provided courtesy of:
It is much like ecstacy in the lows and highs of the music. I have decided that this is the very favorite of mine. I think that I love this one the best,,, of course I decide that for each one as I listen to them. I have never been dissappointed by any Dark Dreams song I have ever heard and I have heard everything they have done to now because I follow it all. I am a fan of
The Heart of Darkness is an interesting song. The delivery is dynamic and the music is stunning.
This takes the mind to very strange worlds,, I believe it is a look into the distant past.. or a very agressive future,, the metal strains to get free! I am glad it it here. I have downloaded it and I had to play it while I am writing this. I gotta tell you that it's just like heartbreak. You can feel the claws tracing your veins and you wonder if there will be a tomorrow.&
This is just so crushing,,, it is the best time I have ever had just with headphones,,,You can say what you like about it , but it is a destroyer and a dragon breathing fire all over your body! I feel the metal grinding through my jaw. I am one happy tyrant right now! Man oh Man it just runs over me like train! I am downloading every one of their songs tonight!
You are the BEST METAL! This proves it. I am so destroyed,, the guitar and the beats are just like a tornado thru my brain! I am NOT kidding you . You have the best music on the whole site! I am getting more and more pumped as I listen to the songs one after another . DArk Dreams is the VERY BEST! Thank you for being here,, I love it!
My Precious Darlings, I am forever giving you a set of 10's,,, For this one I really wish they had a higher number. This is a sensual song honey,, I am listening to my heart pound itself to pieces. I am really glad (for your sake) that we are half a world apart. I mean it,,,,you get the meaning of the song over with passion my friend.
I am getting to the poine that you are almost the only group I listen to anymore. I even played your music at somebody elses party,,, got their attention! I didnt even play the new stuff either,,,,, Honey you are the greatest group in the..............well not the world..only the universe!
Sing to me,,,, it sounds like you are singing Just to me. You are SO good at that. It would make a killer Vid! I am impressed by all the differences it is showing. Man,, I never thought it could get better but between you ,, you have made it perfection!!!!!
I didn't know if i would be able to haer the difference in the music since I have heard you say that there is a big one and i couldnt see any changes in a couple...BUT I CAN hear these!
Hi chaps,had agood listen to this song really like the structure & melody,hope you dont mind me saying that your style to me sounds like prime seventies rock up graded for todays ears no mean feat good luck ill be back for more DR Fabrique
