Description : I figured since this isn't a remix but only a cover it would be alright to upload. This is my and my friend's take on the song Bye Bye Beautiful by the awesome symphonic metal band Nightwish!
Enjoy!
I claim nothing from the original as my own.

If you have time take a listen and give AxonRise some feedback.
Technically there are some balance issues and I know this review is like a year late but you should add more overall ambience to the sounds. This genre greatly benefits from an anthemic sound. The vocals could use some spreading/doubling to make them sound bigger and more emphasized. They should also come up in volume.
The snare...is that an Alesis D5 sample? :) try a different sound...less body and more top mids and high end. I will help will the balance with all those orchestral sounds.
The guitars need a bit more 8kHz to get that airy/fizzy sound you hear in the original.
Again I don't know if this is the feedback you want, but the technical side of music is what I do so obviously I must comment on that. Musically it's a fabulous effort.
I felt very similarly to a lot of things in the song and still kick myself for ever releasing it that way. And that's why I decided to revise and re-mix it again with better drums and guitars and bass as well as production!
See what you think of the new and improved version, I gave a link below. I'd love to hear your thoughts on that one as well! ^_^
Thanks man! Looking back, I think the snare doesn't quite fit but I had a lot of trouble with the production of this cover. However I do tend to emphasize my drums a bit because it's a pet peeve of mine when they're barely audible in a mix.
Thank you again!

Description : I asked Danke if I could add some vocals to his track Future Machine and he kindly agreed and sent me the track. The lyrics are about a soldiers experience in war as he and his trench mates are told to get up and out of their trench and attack the enemy across open fields. I can only imagine the fear, tension and chaos that goes through one's mind at that moment.
Description : I discovered Meshuggah around 2003 and was blown away by the power, complexity and super Heavy sound of their music. Their "Nothing" album marked the switch to 8 string guitars and pushed Heavy Metal into a whole new territory. My track is a variant cover of their song "Nebulous". I have stayed pretty close to the original but added a few dynamic elements of my own. Its loud, its super heavy and way out there...Beyond Nebulous.
Description : This unconventional metal track is dedicated to Valvedriver https://www.looperman.com/users/profile/841435 though it's not a parody of his fine music or me actively trying to sound like it. I struggled for months with the first few minutes of this track knowing that I must be able to take it somewhere deeper, more psychedelic and powerful. Then I loaded some sampled choir voice instruments, as used in my track Reckful https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/160356 and suddenly found myself happily in Valveland - not a place I visit often. Feeling amply Valvedriven and newly inspired, I added the last few minutes fairly easily and very quickly. So: it's a twisting, turning mixture of grunge, menacing ambient, mystical metal and ultra-heavy funk. Instruments: electric guitar+bass, synth basses, female choir voices, one synth pad, some other synths on the nastier side of things and a few programmed heavy acoustic drumkits playing a mixture of triplets and straighter grooves. Interesting thoughts appreciated. Favourite bits? Shit bits? Please listen on good headphones/speakers as there's a lot of heavy bass in this. Now get ready to rock: balls out, hands in the air and with rebellious joy in your heart. Just try not to headbang the hell out of your laptop. Go!
Description : Whats up guys?! Been a while I know. Iv'e moved around a lot but have finally settled down and have been hard at work with my metal band. Unfortunately I've had to put my solo work on hold for a bit while I'm recording with the band. We are being professionally recorded now, a very big step up from the last recording of my band that I posted here. Anyways, hope you guys enjoy! We are, Raze The Pyre.

Though I feel the drum is a bit too harsh...(just my taste maybe)
Handshake, Danke
