I'm not usually a big fan of rapcore/hardcore, and
this is no exception, buuuuuuut I have to commend you on the sound you achieved. This song
proves that NG is steps away from having some top quality audio in the metal section.
However, being a drummer, may I suggest something? Try moving your overheads up a bit
more, that's probably why your cymbals arent sounding so good, because they are sitting
too high in the mix, and clipping at times.
Hope my review helped :)

cool chorus, need a better rythm for the verses though. vocals are just
your typical metal kind. but it sounds like your forcing too many words at times. guitars
are recorded well. and drums are pretty goos too.

Review date: October 3, 2004rage against the machine
reminded me of alot of rage against the machine with the mixture of rap and angry
screaming, and the beat. i bet our drummer would dig this. guitars were kind of simple but
the riffs werent bad. in the singy part the vocals sound a little out of tune.

This song is really new metal. I really dont like the vocals at all
they lack passion and the singing is off key. The guitars are really basic and nothing
really stands out about them. The drumms seem to be the best part of this track!

Review date: October 3, 2004Powerful riffing and
good drumming with cliche screams come
Good moody intro. Hits hard. The sound quality his a bit pulsed and needs some
improvement. The symbols sound too muted, like sleigh bells.
The lyrics are good and the vocalist does a good job of screaming. I like the riffing, and
the drummer does a good job of moving the track along without overpowering anything else.
When singing the vocals are a bit lacking, not sure that the harmonizing works.
Good interlude, again lacking from poor sound quality and below-par vocal harmony.
Overall this track is powerful and a good adrenaline rush. Shows promise for damn sure.

Review date: October 3, 2004powerfull
heavy/rap/core,
a hint of P.O.D. in the lyrics and singing department. but the power behind compensates
for it. good melody. the guitar is great, the drums also seem very powerfull (you could
bring up the bass on the drums and lower the treble.)

Review date: October 2, 2004Not bad
Vocals are out of key in spots.They need to be up a little in the mix.Guitars a little
choppy at times.Guitar sound fits well.Drums are a little rushed on fills.Plenty of energy
though.

Review date: October 2, 2004a high energy track
the production here sounds great. the vocals sound like they have some
genuine rage in there. its not quite as dynamic as i would really like, but some songs are
good when they are heavy all the way through. i just hope the demo or cd as a whole is
more dynamic.

Review date: October 2, 2004Good Guitars
The vocals were pretty bad ... especially when he tried to go clean;
off key at times. But the rest of the band seemed pretty solid. I liked the guitar riffs
when it kicked in and decent drumming throughout. A better recording quality would've been
nice. This has potential but you need to get on your vocalist to stay in key if he's going
to try and sing cleanly.

Review date: October 1, 2004Angry
I like the energy here. The singer can belt it out, he is definatly angry and then he can
sing too. The guitar is solid sounding but isn't all that original but the song flows
really well. The drummer is on the beat and solid sounding, nothing too crazy, no double
bass that i can hear but regardless, solid. This is a song that will get people moving.

Review date: October 1, 2004Rage Filled
Kinda cool guitar intro. Fallowed by kinda cool drums. Then insane heavy stuff comes in
and I'm headbanding. The vocals reminde me a little of Rage, but not much. Screaming is
very emotional and done well. Heavy and very moshable. The cleaner vocals were not as good
as the growly ones... I would stick with screaming. The band is pretty good and I's like
to hear more!

Review date: October 1, 2004Nice cymball work
Not really into this style of metal. The vocals, guitars and drums are very Limp Bizkit
like. Vocals need some work. Like the canned vocal effect.

Review date: October 1, 2004Hard
I really like this song a lot. Nice n Hard. Props to the guitarist for bringing the heat
with those chords.
The vocals are allright. They go with the song well. Very fitting. They are filled with
anger, equal to the guitarists raging riffs.
Now for the drums. The song is a bit distorted sounding and therefore hard to make out the
percussion, but from what I hear, this guy knows what he's doing. What else can you say
about it?
Good job on this song guys. Just need to work on that production a bit. Production doesn't
make the song, but everything is tight and that is the ONLY advise I have for you. Peace.

Review date: October 1, 2004Easy.... Easy... Kabbooomm!!!
Nice intro. The track seems to be pulsing with compression. The riffs
are a cool cross of Hipitty Hopitty Metal Punk/. The vocals are strong and in your face.
The transitions could be smoother.

Review date: September 30, 2004funkcore
There's a definitely a Rage Against the Machine influence to be heard
in the funky beats and the occasionally rappy vocals, but I almost hesitate to mention it
because this certainly isn't derivative or unoriginal. The lead vocal has a convincing,
ballsier rap tone than your typical rap rock, and the parts with hardcore screaming flat
out kick ass. Rhythmically precise even through some machine-gun lyrical delivery, very
emotive and excellent at projecting attitude. My only complaint is that the melodic
sections are a bit weak; there are some intonation problems and an almost hesitant quality
to the delivery, as if the singer isn't really very confident of his melodic singing
voice. Some more practice in this style or maybe some vocal exercises to build confidence
in presenting a melody would help.
Guitars make highly effective use of different fx to enhance the contrast between
sections, but the real mood setter is the variety of playing styles. Straight barre chord
riffing in the heaviest sections, some lightly strummed octaves during the mellow bits,
more complex picking in the up-tempo part, very engaging and effective at keeping the
energy and the listener's interest up.
Drumming has a very organic, occasionally almost funky arrangement, and is technically
precise. Arrangement works in tandem with the guitar parts to highlight the shifts in mood
between sections of the song. Very tight, energetic playing.

This song would be soooo much cooler live. Totally intense. The performances are great.
But the production is a little off. Damn good, though.

Review date: September 30, 2004Nu Metal, alright
Comments on the drums... turn the cymbols DOWN in the mix. In the first
verse they're real prevelant... much more so than needed. Your vocalist is a little weak
when he's not screaming, but I'm sure that can be fixed. The speed and intensity is
impressive, and I like the energy.

Your influences are obvious.
there's nothing wrong with paying homage to your favorite band, but this fall a little too
close for comfort for me.
Oh no the megaphone has got to go...it doesn't get anymore cliche'd than that.
your band has dynamics, and in the rockin parts of the song it's really cool...but it's
not my cup of tea..sorry.

Review date: September 30, 2004
stick to the screams & growls
This is a pretty cool song that has some good potential.
Love the heavy moshy groove the band kicks into about 20 seconds into the song. Nice
transition from the clean guitar part.
Vocals: I liked the screams & growls... but I didn't like the clean singing parts at
all - it really sounded flat on didn't have the strength in the presentation.
Guitars: Killer heavy riffs with some hardcore metal guitar tone.
Drums: Solid player - good mix of grooves and fills in this song - you play very well.
Good use of dynamics in your style. Your playing sort of reminds me of Brad from Rage.
Overall: good metal song - reminded me of Rage Against the Machine a little bit in the
peformance/structure. The band has a lot of potential. Clean up those "clean vocal
parts" and this song will really rock.
Good luck.
