LABYRINTH (Demo Version)
Loving the guit work, I'm not a huge fan of the anthem style, but this easily rates and the merits of the structure and guit work. I'd really love to hear a technical lead run or two in this. It screams for a Loomis arp run. Well done!
Really liked this! Gotta comment on the artwork also, amazing!
I agree with what everyone has said but this is cool. There's nothing on here that cant be corrected easily. It certainely has the maiden in there but done in taste with your own flair. Gets my thumbs up.
Agree with all below,not much more to add except Well Done Pete rated for now
Great structure to this and the guitars are deftly orchestrated. Reminded us of classic Maiden as well. Would agree with the comments below - the vocal and drum sounds need to be livened up a bit to match the excellent guitar tones. Rated and recommended.
Ill kick the minators ass lmao. Best not forgot the string though. Cool track but some brutally honest feedback from a fan of your music, you need to work on the vocals. The rest of the track is perfect though keep up the good work and have a rate on the house.
Nice rolling beats......vocals could definitely come up.....I think this needs added beef mix-wise but as a song it's all there. Kevin Mooney
Hi Pete, Excellent track - I love the melodies and harmonised lines, lovely structure the the rhythm bed too. 100% agree tha tth evocals need to be more aggressive but this is just a demo and iwll change. The fretwork is great and memorable - has a very Maiden feel to it - ala 'Somewhere in Time'. Not mad on the vocals, I have to admit - if it was me I would either keep it instrumentla ar get agressivce Pantera-style on the vox. Look forward to seeing where you take this one guys, deserves a rate so far from me.
cracking intro, great dymanics, but then a rather disappointing vocal introduction - it seems to weak for a metal track - and does not cimpliment the band too well. Needs more a throaty delivery in my opinion. The guitar work is sendsational - I'm quite jealous! Nice section in the middle - put me in mind of Queen in their rock heyday. If you guys manage to record a "harder" vocal it will turn a very good track into a bloody awesome one. And that coming from someone who is not normally into metal. That said, I wouldn't say this was put and out metal. It has a nice rock balance.
quite a stunning track pete.....structure is great, and id imagine very commercial, tho its not my genre. Id say the vox need a bit more attacking, and the drums, but thats minor in a demo. BUT....some brilliant gtrwork...wow. rated np
Drums are too low in the mix for me, guys...guitars are just fabulous as always....without being able to read lyrics, I dunno what i think of them as they are at the moment but obviously Billy isn't all that happy with them so I'll look forward to the revision on that and the subsequent vocal but this has that commanding feel that all of your tracks have and of course, you remain one of my very favourite bands on this site or any other site come to that. Rated what u have so far...and by the way, forget which track I first heard of yours but I found the vocal of that much more powerful Peter....it had an arrogance that I feel would benefit this track too.
Cracking track, definitely on the melodic side of Metal (definite nods to Judas Priest/Sabbath/Maiden here) Honestly see lots of Real world commercial appeal in track as metal is massive. Have no moans about anything on the track, I listen on headphones and the vocals sounded fine to me. Quite an accomplished track if I'm being honest, one to watch out for I think :) Rated
All I could see was a mini Stonehenge descending from the air. Thanks for the giggle.
Nice track. The Guitars stand out in this track. For a Demo this is quite a good production. As a work in progress tho there are elements where attention could could enhance this: The vocals imho lack luster in the recording they need to be more inyour face. The drum and bass section could also be focused on to add more meat to the track. A good DEmo tho. well Done Rogue
Agree almost entirely with what has been said below. Guitar work is spot on and beautifully produced as usual but the drums and especially the crash cymbals are completely drowned out in places. Wonderful song structure as always... and so much going on in the layered guitar arrangements. Overall, great stuff.
now this is classic metal composed with passion melodies really reach out to the listener and love them all really. vocals are ok and could be a bit better however damn those guitar sounds are to die for man those are sweet kick ass guitars. guitars are great needs more crisp and snap to it however the drum beat itself is amazing. Fast guitars and playing is professional. really i enjoyed listening to this one and MUST RATE THIS!!! really stunning work and nice pic, lol Matt
Fantastic intro, and excellent lead work! Guitars sound great. On a critical note tho, i think the vocals could do with beefing up a bit in the mix, taking into account its a metal song too. Im getting the Maiden vibe too, which is no bad thing!....great performance. VERY enjoyable, Rated. Mark
Powerful track, I would tend to bring the vocals forward somewhat, but still a good sound performance.
Hi Pete I love the picture on your page:) And as for the song, well the guitars are perfection, but yes, it needs a heavier beat to it, def. Very old skool metal. x
Hi Pete Really Clear guitar riffs and the vocals are good.I agree with the percussion comments need to be heavier and more varied.Crashes are barely audible.Cannot fault it musically.Gets a rating form me for effort alone.Nice one. Andy:)
Really nice lead guitar parts, reminded me a little of Maiden. Riffs are good and clear too. Vocals not bad either, could do with fattening up a little, maybe some bv's. The only real problems here are the drums and bass (or lack there of). With a stronger rhythm section this could be very good. Still, gonna rate for great guitar tracks. Rated. Craig
Cool track Pete and deserving a rate from me. Crit: drums are a little predictable and lack of bass guitar is noticeable (my taste). Guitar sounds were great.
Good track Pete - Like the intro especially. Good metal in the main part. Very clear production.
cool stuff pete...sounds very good for a work in progress....lots of lush guitar tones :) very old skool in feel...but im guessing thats your aim...most your stuff has an old skool vibe...reminds me a bit of judus priest...even a little sabath...cool stuff dude thumbs up
Great melodic intro! Great instrument separation! Really nice guit tones! Very tight performance! Love the ascending outros on the guit...although its still a WIP of sorts you've got something really good here! R8!
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!
