Well that certainly blew away the cobwebs..

Good one CJ, great wall of sound as usual, I liked the use of the tolling bell and the smashing glass as percussion instruments, nice idea.

Solos sounded like you were in danger of ripping the neck off your geetar!

Pretty intense all through; room for a drop-down somewhere maybe..like just guitar, vocals and the bell perhaps? I know I've suggested this to you before, so take it as a personal preference thing, not a criticism.

You'd never pick your style from your mild mannered picture CJ!

Sounds well mixed and recorded. Not really my cup of tea, but I've seen you around a lot so I thought I would have a listen. Evoked Marilyn Manson or Ozzy Osbourne in my mind.

keep on truckin'

CJ,

Wow .. intense .. those guitar solos were some of the most expressive gut-wrenching playing I've heard in a long while, well done. Great space and depth in the mix. Cool ending, Nice mix overall, huge cavernous guitar sounds. Good solid percussion and bass. A well crafted piece.

That's a happy little tune isn't it?
Refreshingly maniacal. Huge sound, good space. Way to torture that guitar. I really like this.
The Sabbath and Rush influence is strong in this one.

thats really dark, man. i like the way you used the church bell for accent. and the guitar solo(s) was crunchy and tasty. definately a good tune to listen to blasting out of your headphones after a really bad day...

CJ - In my humble opinion I think this is your best to date, seriously. It captured me: The mysterious dark sound, the bells, the full sound spectrum, the fearful voice - and then that screaming lead solo at 2:50 ... wow. I'm blown away. And yes, Ozzy comes to mind, no doubt. I did enjoy that! I seriously think you can go big with this tune, dude!

CJ,
This is an immensely powerful song and I have listened to it several time. I have found that a slight dip around 3.3k is very satisfying(less than 2 db). That's the only critique I have. This track is awesome.

Wow, I really didnt know i was going to get this great feedback from everyone. Thank you for being kind, does anyone have any suggestions, besides Roberts that i can do to improve it. bye the way Robert, you have good ears. i tried that and it took some of that anoying ring decay from the ride a little bit. Thank you..

Hey CJ, been listening to your stuff as you go. Time to chime in.... This is the best IMHO you have going so far. Nice spread, wicked tone. I think a little more separation in the drums would help, cymbals and such. Just an opinion.
