[-Fuzzy-]

This would be terrific in a lot of different games that come to mind... especially a fast-paced side-scroller (in my mind anyway). Would go well with an 8-bit art style too. Really like the energy it puts out.

[The Count of Darkness (Teaser)]

This is really nice, good blend of the drums and synth. Super creepy sounding, organ of some kind? Really nice, kinda reminds me of Castlevania, which is good. Keep it up!

[Ep Teaser Track 2]

I'm loving this! When do you think the full EP will be done?

Metalized responds:

Yo man! Thx, glad you dig it! Well i hope that I at least would get the pre-production done this year, but i'm still working on some sounds and stuff. But hopefully soon, so keep your ears up! Cheers!

[Luctus]

I'm enjoying this track. What's the lead instrument? I like how it's humble and without too many layers, would've maybe benefited from an additional rhythm somewhere in the distance though, at least. Nice work all the same.

KVPspb responds:

Hey. Lead is steel 12-string guitar with a lot of reverb and delay. Yeah i thought about some drums, but wanted to make guitar-only track. Thx a bit for the review :)

[Ginglyform Glitch Funk]

Terrific! Vibrant and high-energy. Really like around the 0:25 mark. I also enjoy the pocket drums (for lack of a better term), all the clicks and pops really add a nice percussive layer.

[City of Miners]

I enjoyed this, a very humble, ambient loop. Would be great for a menu screen in a game. The rhythmic pad in the back really pulls everything together, too. I would've liked to have seen maybe something more introduced toward the end, like another distant, support instrument or something. But nice work.

[The Archive Is Still[WIP]]

I really like the guitar work on this, it's humble and mellow. I think it might sound even better if you recorded it through a live amp instead of a DI, but since you're at college probably not possible, eh? Still, a good piece. Keep it up,

[Fourier's Haunted Forest]

It's not exactly attention-grabbing, but I suppose that's the idea, right? It's got a nice atmospheric thing going on, and I appreciate only using sine waves, a cool idea. Really like the 2 min breakdown / changeup.
