Forgetting Luna (indie, demo songs)

The force is strong in this one...



Ok seriously, nice recording. Just a LITTLE messy at the solo part, as in the equalising/mixing part. But overall very nice song.

Btw is it me or what, the drums sound really out of place. As in, it is in time and everything but the "tone" of the drums don't suit the song. Ah whatever, its nice! Keep it up.


EDIT: Btw your guitarist scared me lol.
 
^ thanks! the drums were recorded in the studio but we had no time to tweak it, no metronome too lol! we had to make the most of what we had. the rest (bass, guitars, vocals -> in order) were recorded on the PC.

yeah scared the hell out of me too. props to nico, our kickass guitar player :)
 
Lyrics:

Undying

I heard your footsteps on the ground
Hoping exchange turned my back it was only sound
Your dancing shadow on the wall
Somebody help me up to break the fall

I've poured my heart inside of you
You've held this beacon baby just do what you have to do
Somebody help me to understand
The feeling's creeping up my head I can win

Sun is shining
You are still the one
The fire's burning
You are still the one

Move your lips and I'll obey
With every bone you still command the light of day
For years I've let this man be bruised
But I won't free myself it's better if I've been used

=========

I'm posting the next song, cheers!
 
Snare drums needs to be more upfront, it's too thin sounding for me.
Bass needs better compression. It sounds too "squashed" now.
The kick's pretty decent though.
Vocals sounds too "live" during the chorus.
Guitars sound fine to me.
When guitarist does his solo, the ride cymbal needs to be tightly compressed with faster attack, shorter release.
 
I like your riff. Keep it up! :) Though I feel your vocalist should use a rougher voice on the parts that need emphazing. You know what I mean... Secondly, the drums' a little plain and it gets boring as the chorus sings on... Other than that, its a fine song. :)


- My $0.02.
 
I agree the vocals seem to need a little more roughing up. I've actually told our vocalist that before. Thanks for the comments guys! Keep em comin!
 
Inflicted

I want you to rest
Recharge and simplify
Everything is not a test

I want you to learn
They mock and criticize
At nothing, they just want to make you..

(chorus)
Burn, if it makes any difference
They want to make you burn
The pain is self-inflicted

It’s feeding on, the back of your hand
You just don’t notice
It grew while it can

It’s you and me on this land
We plant the vines, soak with grime,
Leave undone, and then we let it..

(chorus)

hey man, really nice stuff, very cool sound you have. the one thing i don't anyone's mentioned yet is that the vox volume level changes very slightly over the song, sometimes it's indistinct and sometimes it's very in-your-face. you could try putting compression/more compression on the voice to keep the volume levels constant.
