Another new metal song...

I'm at work, so I can't turn it right up (or even slightly up), but wow. Another metal masterpiece.

Hi Mark,  well this certainly sounds like the day of wrath. Not quite sure what to make of the section between 1:13 and 1:35, lots of distortion . The clean singing works for me ,especially at the end. The death metal parts are tight and the opening really sets the mood, but from 3:00 to the end it gets better and better, the end is very good, nice gothic atmosphere. Maybe an Idea to use some of the ending as an intro ?

Death metal is not my specialty, nor do I ever get meth'd-out or raged-out enough to appreciate the art.  So please dismiss any opinion of mine if it doesn't support your art:

TBH, I can't wrap my head around this on 1st listen ... and the demon tongue speaking seems a notable distraction to the excellent music and performances on drums and guitars (which I love). 

To add insult, the demon-vox is ultra-compressed and absurdly eclipses those wonderfully symphonic drums and guitars ... forcing me to slam down the volume.

A couple weeks ago, I asked Caleb (20 yo) what he thought of metal operatics ... he replied that there might could be either some obvious lyrical motif-title for the tongue-speaking ... or else the lyrics themselves (translated) ... next to the song.

.....

Though there is new stuff here, the demon-paradigm seems far less convincing to my croniness here than your former pieces (like "Remember").

Or, like Picasso's stylized-cubism, I'm losing empathy with this style.

OTOH, your finale redeems/compliments the demon-antics a bit; a new, somewhat vibrant tongue, has emerged after those utterances. 

I too enjoyed your pieces away from Black/Death Metal, especially the series of religious pieces you did a while back.  So, while I don't 'get' the genre it doesn't mean I can't appreciate your extraordinary compostional and musical talents, and this piece was no exception.  The clean vocals worked for me. 

thanks to everyone, i think this is grade B and thus i shall not be wasting more time on it! the next song is already in the pipeline, and has better riffs...interesting you like the more techy death bits more...

the kit really stuck out in this one for me..loved the ride work and double kick through-out. love the breakdown @ 4:00ish....and the vox harmony worked very well there.... shes was a beast to be sure!

Hi Mark,

A nuther rad powerhouse of bleakblackwhackitupsidethehead.  Your playing is amazing.

The Dies Irae was once part of the Mass?  Wow.
