Inception : First Original

I Finally got off my ass i decided to go with what i had in my head and make an OC, Did the drums off Beatcraft, and since i have no knowledge of drums, rolls, etc, its just as basic as basic could be..
What im most proud of is the Intro and the Chorus and all the Harmonized parts through the song...Ive come up with EVERYTHING myself, nothing ripped from anywhere, though there will be very visible influences in all the parts, a lil bit of 'flames, trivium , deth...all through...
Its in the Song Structure made for Vocals, so it might seem boring at first, but should sound better with vocals...its in the basic song structure of Intro-Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus-Interlude-Outro..Done in Standard E (Yes i use Std E too :P)

Ive Decided to Call it Inception, because its my 'Inception' into the world of Originals, and i have an Inception(Entrance) Exam coming up, so a fitting name ^_^

Hopefully i should learn some more drumwork, and get something like Fruit loops, and the percussion should sound better too..

All in all its just what the name Azoth is, a mix of everything ... check it out, dont be too harsh, its my first...

The End Of Heartache : The Review

Hay! Ive been working a lot on the guitar these days and havent got time to review the band ive bin listening to almost all of last month, Killswitch Engage..
Very Metalcore, Probably even the definition of metalcore, these guys have been ehre for a very long time and it makes me feel guilty for not listening to them earlier despite having the album for a while now....
ive bin listening to Alive Or Just Breathing, End Of Heartache and As Daylight Dies, but ill start with TEOH because its probably my fav.
so without further adiou, lets begin

1. A Bid Farewell : Thats Wierd, who starts an Album with A Bid Farewell ? hehe, kidding, nice song, starts of with a spooky intro, goes into a heavier bit then, has very signature KSE elements, and yet has some very significant differences...a lot of trem picking....the pre-chorus trem harmony and the chorus trem-harmony sounds damn cool...this song really showcases then new singer Howard Jones Vocal power...hes extremely Versityle..has extreme scream, to total tenor vocals...the drums are a little more complex on this song then KSE usually has...all in all good song...decent starter to get you into what the album is going to be about..3.9/5

2. Take This Oath : Me Like Intro Riff! so simple yet crazy sounding, once vox join in it eventually goes into a Metalcore Riff...and thats when Adam D's Voiceover comes in...jeezus! Which Guitarists come BG Vox has such a good voice man ! its very fresh compared to howards, and gives the song a very infectious appeal..then back into the signature KSE Intro-as-Breakdown bit...then into an interlude, which opens out what the name of this song means...To The Grave,We Take This Oath.. why couldnt they just name the song To The Grave ? Beats me ! :P awesome song though, though very very typical KSE...4/5

3. When Darkness Falls : This is was my First KSE Song...got it off the Freddy Vs Jason Soundtrack... This Ones a Lot More Heavier, Offtime, less Melodic KSE, and It Pwns...the main riff is so insanely brilliant, so simple but just the offtime makes it rule! goes into a melo prechorus which sounds great, into the chorus, which is awesome, again showcasing Jones talent as a Vocalist, a total Bellower, a extreme screamer, as we can see from the bridge,and a total Tenor from his high note right at the end.....insane song, and will be one of my all time KSE fave's...4.5/5

4. Rose Of Sharyn : This was the Second KSE Song that i heard and the one that really got me into KSE..was somehow already on the Comp, heard it there...wow, what a song, blasting guitar, totally melodic, simple drums used to perfection, kissable chorus, into Intro-Breakdown, total Banger of a song!(no i dont say it often) then goes into this riff which had me listening to the song over and over again just for it, starts at around 1:56...brilliantly made riff...then goes into a slow clean interlude ( which is suprisingly seen a lot all over the album) again Adam Ds magical voice comes in, making this song complete :P...amazing song, maybe just one of the best on this album, i wont giv it a 5 coz they could have expanded it a bit more, it seems a bit repetitive after a couple of listens...4.8/5

5. Inhale : This is a small instrumental piece, that is almost compulsory for metalcore albums these days...very cool bit of acoustic work...almost sounds like clockwork playing in the background, it seems more like it should come after World Ablaze, but it doesnt...so what the hell, nice instumental peice, though it seems a bit of a filler...but dont all them intrumentals do?...3.5/5

6. Breathe Life : this song shows that the new KSE isnt too diff from the old KSE, breathe life sounds at the intro a lot time Temple From The Within from AOJB...Nonetheless, sounds damn cool, the prechor sounds damn cool, especially when the sustained palmute comes in, along with the double bass kick...the Chorus good, brings forward KSe viewpoint on everything, to get the point across postively without hate and what no...this is probably the only KSE song that has Solo ...a little Wah Bit, that sounds awesome, goes very well with the song, but just seems like something in between 2 choruses rather then having a identity of its own...awesome song, well made, and with a good message :) ...4.5/5

7. The End Of Heartache : The Title Song, The Most Talked About Song, The Song, The Song That Shot KSE To The Top...thats what its called these days...but i totally agree...amazing song...what guitar skills, what singing, gives the song such and epic modern day Metal Ballad type feel..amazing...Howards Signature Uncopyable Bellowed Vocals inpart are responsible for that feel...the Chorus is unbelievable...it actually gives you a positive,hopeful feeling, i dont know how they do it! incedible stuff...the little riff after the first chorus is too cool, Adam D is teh Mastah! The Song is pretty much repeated after that...then it goes into this crazy outro with Whamy usage and stuff, that gives it that no-why-is-it-the-end-of-the-song feel, but then it goes into a slow almost popy part, but is quick to comeback right to its heavy home chorus, which another bunch of insane vocals...this might just be one of the immortal type songs on this album...5/5

8. Declaration : If you though the title song was a little to commercial for you, then Declaration will perfectly balance you back to your sweet spot...this one is less metalcore, more thrashy,powerful and crazy...barely any clean vocals, except for Adam Ds Shexeh voice in between....this song, like most songs, takes a couple of listens to really like it and appreciate it...Its not at all typical KSE, very out of the box, back to roots KSE, which is totally likeable as it brings about a real change and a break from all the melody, and gives you something to really clench your fists too...the riff is almost godlike...first higher, then lower...awesome stuff, really awesome stuff...4.5/5

9. World Ablaze : I had heard a lot about this song, so i decided to finally give it a listen, and i what i got was total insane riffage and melody! the Main riff is FUCKING Hardcore man...i couldnt get it outta my head for the rest of the fckin day! totally crazy shit...just when you think itll be a almost no melody song like Declaration, it breakup into this insanely melodic prechorus which sounds incredible, and then it goes into the Chorus, which has one of the best metalcore riffs i have heard to date, with a harmonized part that makes me want to make everything i make harmonized! that good! amazing song, just see the feeling it gives you on your first listen...its bangs your fckin shoes off man...the Breakdown after the 2nd chorus is awesome , with a lot of double bass, and suddenly its back into melodies,and suddenly back into a semi-melodic breakdown, its like a freakin rollercoaster ride, crazy spins, but totally enjoyable...youll want to climb on again and again! 4.8/5

10. And Embers Rise : This song is another instrumental piece, a little longer, with more poppy strumming, but still it sounds so good, almost like an interval, a breather from the total in you face force that KSE is...makes you want to just close your eyes and think about you, and your life...very cool bit....huh ?...a little feedback.....into Wasted Sacrifice! ... 4/5

11. Wasted Sacrifice : This is again a Heavier KSE Song that balances out With And Embers Rise...with a very very fast main riff, and a lot of double bass, lots of over the top guitar work in this song...and just when its getting heavier and heavier, it suddenly breaks into this very very melodic almost commie chorus, which sounds verry cool, and balances is out with the heavy parts...just shows that KSE are an extremely talented bunch of dudes...goes Back into the heaviness for a verse repeat...and back into the melodic chorus again...good shit...a very very heavy breakdown follows, and then back into the melodic chorus...what skill! 4/5

12. Hope is... : The Last Song in the album but by far one of the best too on this album, has a very very Swedish Melodic Intro, which goes into a Classic Killswitch Riff, and into a very insane heavy breakdown, which is acutally a verse..the prechorus is very similar to My Curse from As Daylight Dies, which ill be reviewing later...the Chorus is very cool, has the entire band sing along with Jones, and sounds good...then it goes into this acoustic part that again sounds a bit like clockwork....has a little bit of a bass solo, and very deathy vocals towards the end...insane!..a very nice song, and a fitting end to a brilliantly made album...4/5

Awesome Album, probably in my top 15 Albums of All time, just because of the way the Vocals, Guitar, Melody, Riffing just match like bread and butter even though it all shouldnt :P...is really good stuff, and i think i will be listening to it for a while now...

Total : 51.5/60
Percentage : 85.83%
Average : 4.29/5.00

Ruin : Song Cover

Yesh! My 3rd Lamb Of God Cover. Laid To Rest was actually up next but i realised there are a couple of parts i couldnt play x_x

So Ruin It was! From As The Palaces Burn.

Honestly i though it would be a piece of cake. but wasnt..it clearly took me long enough for me to figure that out...just like 11th Hour this song has those super-fast crappy parts i cant get right too

Ive Done both the solos in this one, with a JCM800 model patch with Reverb and Min Delay, sounds pretty decent, not totally accurate, but then again the last time i got a accurate solo was never -.-' the major bending(or whammying) at the end ive done by just normal bends and stuff, and it sounds alright too...

was a pretty long song, not as long as 11th hour, but felt long..it originally clocks at 3:54, but i stretched it to 4:08, because i dunno how to do the divebomb or whatever that is at the end, so i just let the palm muted D go on...

Check it out, and blah blah blah
