Allegaeon

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Sounds like every other modern metal band I've heard. Better than most though. I've always enjoyed that kinda snarly vocal style.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

You want brutal critiquing, you've come to the right place.

Your music is bland, soulless, uninspired, unoriginal, and all around boring. But it's not bad to listen to at all. Hope that makes sense.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

"Cower Before Me" is much better, the blasting sections add some much needed aggression.

 

[Allegaeon]

hell yes thats what I am talking about, I knew I would find honest people somewhere, Keep it coming! helps for the future writing.

We'll start with the vocals: I actually like these a lot. Remind me of The Gallery era Mikael Stanne. I dig it.

Now, for the music itself. It gets lost on me at moments. The little widdly waddly sweeps just seem randomly placed, and possibly hurting the main structure of the song itself. Many bands have this problem, Into Eternity, for example, have an awful habit of just throwing in shit "because they can". It kinda had that feeling to me. So working the widdly waddly shit more into the structure of the song would definitely give this a higher rating in my book.

And nude pics of yourself. Definitely need some nudes.

 

[EricT]

I should note, this is leagues above 16/17th's of the shit that's posted on here... I was prepared to insult.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

bands like this need a clean singer. with this guy it sounds pretty bland

 

[derek]

It's actually pretty quality stuff. I'd say occasionally I'd like the riffing to be thicker.

 

[Burti]

I thought it was going to be shit.

I was pleasantly surprised. EricT stated something about the sweeps, and even though I LOVE sweeping I couldn't see the purpose in the first ten seconds of that Weeds song.

 

[DreamNeonBlack]

I like the music, I HATE the vocals! I'd love to hear some of your stuff with a clean singing style over it.
The crazy blast part with the vocals towards the beginning of cower before me dont' make me happy at all. nice chorus to that song though.

Overall, 7/10. Not too shabby.

thats cuz ur a pansy!
The blasting part was cool.

 

[DreamNeonBlack]

Nope, it was a mess. I don't like vocals over parts like that usually...because it sounds like a blob of noise.

 

[Enemy242]

agreed.

all the songs were pretty sick, nothing i haven't heard before, but still sick.

-Jeff Loomis isn't that good, cut down on his influence a bit
-the riffs during the sung parts are fantastic, there's an enthusiasm there, keep that up as much as possible (it seems to vanish during the instrumental parts)
-add a new vocal melody somewhere, that one during the breakdown falls flat

I like you.

 

[Mark7]

The weeds song is reminding me a lot of Darkane's Innocence Gone, not sure if its an influence or not though. Sounded cool though. Some of the instrumental stuff sounded too plastic and forced is my only complaint.
