Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mahler hammer]

This is really is classical! And cinematical... sounds like it could be straight from an old soundtrack, anything from the shift of centuries (1900's that is) and onwards, maybe older too...

The minor notes almost make it seem like a horror movie occasionally, but occasionally it brightens, and grows, and slows, and shows... the true wonders of music.

This was mighty. Though... seems it's not as original as I garnered? Symphony No. 6, by Mauler?

Would be nice to know more about the arrangement here; how you made it.

It sounds amazing, but wonder if it really is an original piece (as in: your own, recorded by you personally).

[Ghost phonkk]

Is this... really punk? I'm getting Gorillaz vibe I think, experimental, catchy, grimy and rough, feels like house or dance music but with a lot of other elements mixed in... the vocal chops are nice too.

That pause around 1:22 comes in a bit suddenly, and maybe fades a bit too much? Didn't expect to lose the music entirely; the rhythm and sense of continuity. Not sure it adds anything, might be good with a longer bridge. It ends suddenly too...

Structure could maybe be a bit more varied but I love the vibe! Dope work.

[tenth circle]

Catchy, upbeat and a little exotic! It's a cool mix; cool progression... starts getting a little repetitive in the latter half but not too much. it's still enjoyable.

Nice mix of instruments; lively percussion; suitable pauses. All it's missing is maybe something that breaks the structure a bit, even with pauses and varying instruments the melody, tempo and overall structure is always the same.

Keep it up!

[The Duet: Ambience]

Sounds like something you could've seen in an eighties action movie too. :) Maybe a bit more ambient than that would've been, and less repetitive but... the sound still feels sentimental somehow.

Very atmospheric. Clear production/mix too. Very nice.

[Journey to Stonyhurst]

I wish the recording quality did your voice justice in this. :) Feels like the full range doesn't come through, but the song's wonderful, does feel a little otherwordly sometimes... the instrumental backing's a bit subtle but complementing; atmospheric too.

Appreciate the layers to the lyrics, the story beyond the words themselves.

Beautiful work.

[Zos OST - Aeryl]

This was nice. Ambient, explorative... might've sounded a little eerie if the notes were different/it was a different vibe. Sounds both like something ancient, and something warm, and something different... interesting mixture.

[The Third-Rates: Well Which Is It]

I don't get this but I do love it! XD Unexpected numetal vibes with the Cha Cha Cha part too! Dang. Versatile vocals. Even the louder/more aggressive parts are melodic too.

Appreciate the alternating vocals too, though most when they actually complement each other and follow a certain structure, not as much when some is just inaudible, when you're saying two things at the same time, structure there may not be to my ear entirely, but vocals overall are great. The music's great. The energy's amazing.

I'm trying to catch the red thread with the song itself too but it's a little all over the place... at times the tone's comical, but since it's not obviously comical all the time it seems like there should be something more pertinent to it after all. Could it be as simple as an argument? Between whom though... lyrics ought offer a few more clues!

Creativity levels though: yepp. Being cryptic probably amplifies sense of originality too...

Awesome work y'all. At momentary moments almost sounds a bit like The Ultimate Showdown.

[Hold My Heart (demo)]

I love those harmonies on the hooks, simple but so suitable here... carries the mood well. The beat seems minimalistic but there's so much nuance there in the background too, love the atmosphere.

The vocals though... or maybe more so the delivery: find it a bit hard to catch the lyrics with the hooks in particular. After 'I gave you every single reason to run'... just can't make out the second part? I like the vocals but clarity maybe... could be better. May be something with the filter/mix more so than the annunciation too, not sure.

Dope vibe otherwise. Sad but... soulful.

-cd-

[Sequencizer (TI:Silent Ki]

Jumpy in the best way possible! With not too much loudness but plenty of punch all the same, a beat that builds and evolves in two phases and keeps you bopping.

Feels like structurally it might not be a bad thing with with more waveform variation; some more silent/calmer/softer pauses, some bridges that more than phase out individual layers but also maybe change the tempo and beat and all...

But continuity's maybe underappreciated too... this was great.

-cd-

[DenX - Lurking (New)]

Orchestral metal! Always a good time with this particular combo. Pompous, heavy and generally just bad-ass and awesome. It starts soft, builds nicely, grows and goes just about as metal as it possible can...

Solid work all the way, though if there's anything I'm missing maybe... it's some crazy solos. It shifts a bit but seems to solo more with synth than guitar; nothing crazy on that front. Just very melodic; structural; polished all the way.

Dope work.
