GMC Forum _ Uploads _ Enlightened Death (kmc Metal)

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Mar 10 2008, 09:46 PM

Phew finally finally - Marcus and I have yet a finished song! This one was really difficult for me to sing as the song's speed and intensity required razor sharp singing performance...which I don't have. unsure.gif So hopefully you will excuse us for taking a couple of months to finish this one...

Cool song I like it! smile.gif
I think your voice is good for this kinda music, I mean you don't need a perfect singer for this kinda music IMO wink.gif
My guess would go that the solo was Marcus, am I right?



Little OT but how's the "Load for life" doing?

Posted by: Alex Lewis Mar 10 2008, 09:57 PM

Awesome work huys this sounds phenominal to me,

if I was to make one criticism the guitar sounds a bit synthetic in places but overall fantastic


when you gonna release an album then eh?


Rock on guys!

Alex

Man you guys rock.....What an awsome song

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Mar 10 2008, 10:07 PM

Thanks guys I am overwhelmed!! laugh.gif

Tuubsu - yes that is Marcus! Also I agree that you don't need perfect voice for this kind of thrashy tune - but my problem was that since it went so fast it was hard to get tight, "keeper" vocal takes - and when screaming like a madman I didn't have too many chances until my voice was tired (probably bad technique)...

Thanks! again! biggrin.gif

Posted by: Owen Mar 10 2008, 10:18 PM

I like it Kris, really love your vocals - they're so unique sounding - to my ear.

Couldnt really understand what the lyrics meant all that well, but thats my only beef. Loved Marcus' solo. Twas awesome! smile.gif

Thankas again! biggrin.gif And thanks for the album encouragements biggrin.gif

Owen - the lyrics about driving too fast (and all that follows) - I am pasting them here:

I have always wanted to fly but I never wanted to die
Looks like I’m about to see the light

A cold-hearted criminal feeling sets the standard in the city tonight
No man is walking safe or sane, speed delivers fire with light
I’ll give it one shot, two shots, three shots

I have always wanted to fly but I never wanted to die
Looks like I’m about to see the light
GO! GO! At the speed of light - enlightened death tonight

Roadmap rage, 227 mph, is coming right through your door
No man’s going to be praying for your life when you hit the local store
In the first turn green, second turn red, in the third… In the third? OH MY GOD YOU’RE DEAD!

I have always wanted to fly but I never wanted to die
Looks like I’m about to see the light
GO! GO! At the speed of light - enlightened death tonight

Wow! This was GREAT biggrin.gif

Kris.. your voice sounds like Devin Townsend some times in this track.. Excellent! biggrin.gif

Posted by: Marcus Siepen Mar 11 2008, 10:29 AM

Great song, I love it, but what the hell is kmc metal? Kitar Master Class metal? wink.gif

Posted by: superize Mar 11 2008, 10:32 AM

biggrin.gif

I've read some previous comments about Kris voice, and apparently he sounds like:

* A young Dexter Holland
* James Hetfield
* Alice Cooper
* Billy Corgan
* Devin Townsend

... now, if he's sounds like mixture of all those he must be qualified to say he’s got a style of his own, right!? laugh.gif

Thanks Marcus!

KMC = Kris & Marcus Collaboration smile.gif

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Mar 11 2008, 11:07 AM

Wow it's fantastic to be rewarded with all this positive feedback - it's also amazing for to get this much good feedback on my voice as I am spending alot of time and energy to develop it! biggrin.gif

@ Marcus S and Trond: Feels awesome to get these comments from two metal gurus! Thanks for commenting! laugh.gif I am going to check out Devin more thoroughly!

And "Kitar masterclass metal" is not a bad interpretation! laugh.gif Could perhaps be a hit in Estonia (hmm I am obviously out on very deep water here but I think Kitar means guitar)

Posted by: Nemanja Mar 11 2008, 11:34 AM

OMG...I did not expect this...first:sond,production is....well 5% below serius big studio quality...guitars are so big and helty......
song i great..chorus cachy.....and Kris you can sing man....in the verses gret control,and that high parts blow me a way....exept one lttle,vary small thingy....vockal should be a litle louder...cant understand every thing you say...but other than that......great job guys...smile.gif

Thanks munta! smile.gif

Sure, why not make a lesson about how I mixed this song. Cool idea!

Posted by: The Uncreator Mar 11 2008, 03:02 PM

That would be great!!

I've always wondered how you get such a thick and heavy guitar sound without tuning down low, Is it some kind of mixing trick? smile.gif

Posted by: steve25 Mar 11 2008, 03:12 PM

Great song and +1 on the production lesson

Posted by: Muris Mar 11 2008, 03:42 PM

Posted by: lavendell Mar 11 2008, 10:08 PM

Thanks guys! biggrin.gif
I'm not sure at this point how to do a lesson like this. I guess I would need a video-screen-dump-program, or whatever it's called! laugh.gif

Does anyone know of a program like that - for Mac? unsure.gif
Kyle, if you read this, what did you use on your Fruity Loops-lesson?

Not all of them are video though, some are just screenshot programs
