WOW WOW WOW so many musical landscapes and effortlessly soaring between them all. Genesis, Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd came into my mind. The overall sound is perfect and it mantains the interest of the listenener throughout. To say this is a masterpiece is an understatement. Everything is fresh and vibrant yet so well-balanced and professional. This be the stuff that do filleth ampitheatres and stadia. You wove the pieces, threw them in the air and tossed them into the abyss to reverberate on the ground. STELLAR - Fabulous! Kay0s
I can say you all are masters of your instruments. Excellent song with its variations in the mood and sentiments.
Very well done Evisma
Best wishes, Anthony
What's happnin', Evan?
I missed this one when you originally posted it 7 years ago. Though, I'm not surprised, that was a whirlwind time for me.
I am surprised to see that you popped in after so long. Good to see your presence again. There aren't too many of us left that still hang out in the place.
Anyhow, this is has the classic Evisma sound as far as tones and effects. Or, at least classic for that time. I know you've worked on more stuff since, so it may be a lot different these days. Did you ever get that album finished?
I like the progression of this, and the way it ebbs and flows. The title is very fitting. The transitions are seamless. I know somebody in the earlier comments said something about needing vocals...no, it doesn't. The instrumentation sings for itself. It is of my opinion that people need to stop relying on vocals for a song to deliver it's message. Just chill the fuck out and enjoy the music ya know? Sometimes it's all about the journey, not the serenade. 1/2
(2/2) i like the leads at 1:00 and 4:28. Especially the 4:28 with the double tracking solo. It's very Tony Iommi. At least in the tracking sense. Stylistically, it's it's all Evan. The energy is appropriate. Neither are too slow, but they aren't just virtuosic shreds for the sake of "rockin' out'.
Anyhow, man. Glad to see you 'round again. Hopefully you'll be back soon with some new work. I'd love to hear what you're doing these days.
love this track, amongst others...i'm a huge Tool fan and picked up on a bit of Justin Chancellor in your sounds and rhythms...i'm a lyricist who is interested in writing to some of your tracks...i tried contacting you but you had it disabled. if you're interested please message back or text me at 631-seven6six-3789...thanks, Gregg
I appreciate the kind words.
I am working on a track with vocals at the moment. Finishing a lead guitar solo at the end and it should be ready for critique. Thanks for giving this a listen. Not used to doing vocals, but I'm trying to be a jack of all trades. Thanks again!
Hiya Evisma! I love the high energy of this track and the intensity of the guitars. At this juncture, you are probably gonna HATE me! LOL
I would let the song speak for itself and nix the soundbite. The organ/strings (0:29) sounds very 90's to my ear. I'd either drop it or replace it with real strings. I'd give the first transition a bit more punch, maybe roll the drums (1:27). The second transition I actually had to listen to several times before I got it; and when I finally got it...pretty damn awesome!
wow really good track! the organ bring an old school touch in the render! i liked of courses the guitars play but i'm more attentive with the bass whose line is obsiouvly brilliant.
really good work Evan, congrats!
Bleep
I fel that this is a giant release of energy from you. I'm not even going to critique what i heard yet, but just feel that emotionally you are letting off a lot of hidden steam.

Hey man, summer keep you busy? Sounds like someone's been practicing!
I do like what you were doing during the bridges, were you finger tapping the strings on the neck of the guitar or picking it? They were good changes that lead to built up guitar expressions that sounded pretty damn good if you ask me! Let it all out Evan, Hell Yeah!!
I knew a Celeste once. Didn't sound like her. Where do I send the check again? I'm a believer. ;)
Summer has kept me a bit busy. I've taken up bass fishing, which has become an unhealthy addiction.
Bridges were picked on an acoustic with my fingernail. They are very short, but I write nearly every riff fingerstyle on an acoustic, then assign lines to different roles. I've never gotten into tapping.
This is so freaking good. The guitar tones are gorgeous, the transitions are bold, but well done and the riffs are inspired. Loving the bass sound as well. Oh and who doesn't love a good organ section.
Favourite bit has to be the break at 1:27 and the whole middle section. It's progressive, trippy goodness. It builds anticipation as we prepare for the next heavy section (which does not disappoint).
Definitely a fave!
Hey, Mr. Avalanche, I'm very glad you liked it. I hear a lot of issues with it, but I think that's everyone who creates their own music. Still, I really appreciate the kind words from someone I'm a fan of.

Love the drive and power from this. Thank you for your contribution.

Why I've not clicked one of your tracks before I don't know.
This is great.
I'm getting a Tool vibe. This is crying out for vocals.
I'll certainly be clicking the next.
