Gotta say, you got those gutturals down pretty well. Once you get a significantly better mic re-upload those covers so your screams are a bit clearer.
Man, I haven't listened to death metal in a while. I'll be honest, I tend to prefer more melodic metal.
EDIT: Damn, how long have we had this thread? I'm surprised I've never posted in here.
Thanks man. Yeah, I know for a FACT that my mic doesn't pick up half of the sounds of my screams. I think the reason is that my mic doesn't pick up certain higher frequencies, especially on my inhale screams. So when I record my screams, it doesn't pick up the high pitched air, but it picks up the clicking of my throat. I will be getting a mic that isn't a USB headset mic with a sock on it >.>;
You can even see the mic fail to pic up the high pitch I go into at the end of CTTWBAR.
As you can see, I've given up on trying to make them sound good, so I just did songs without them and that is what I will probably do until I get this aforementioned mic.
This thread has been here since I started on smashboards in '10. I guess it just dies really often so you didn't notice it.
EDIT: Yo Zyxx, this is the way I see it and this is what I tell most people who call metal noise. Music, at its essence, is all about 'feelings'. It is about translating human emotions into music. Some music might makes you feel how you want to feel, and that is how we know how we like it. If you listen to a beautifully written piano song, like lets say Fantaisie Impromptu by Chopin, and you close your eyes and listen, you will truly FEEL what the music is trying to say to you, and you will feel the emotion that each section was intended to make you feel by Chopin. So why in the world do we judge genres at all? If static made you feel how you wanted to feel, you'd listen to it. I think the only music that doesn't really depend on feelings is popular music, and it is all about subject matter, lyrics, and catchyness with that kind of music.
The fact that people call metal 'noise' often is just ignorance. Usually it is because people are used to such simple songs that they can't distinguish the patterns of technicality in metal, nor can they keep up with the pace and all of the instruments. If anyone ever calls anything you listen to dumb or noise, usually I just tell them that and they shut their moufs.
