Apatheria's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[DJ Dixon 2014 Chracter Reel]

Damn Shocky, youse a beast behind the mic. Such range and acting chops!

Shock-Dingo responds:

Hey, thanks Apa, I really appreciate it you Bearded Prince of Metal, you! :)

[Voice Reel - November '13]

My first time hearing you, and I'm impressed!

The overall length was ideal for a character demo, and each character clip was short and concise, showing off what it needed to of each different character. You have good energy and pacing, as well! It's clear that you know what you're doing, and have a future in voiceover.

Looking forward to hearing more!

headphoamz responds:

Right on, thanks so much Apatheria! Happy you like the reel. It'd be cool to have a future doing this. Lots of fun, for sure. :)

[How to Voice the Internet]

crsiopter zamblas we need to hang out together and not wear pants

SeiyruRenaih responds:

All the days, Apa.

All the days.

[Motley's Commerical Demo]

Oh, good job Motly.

I left that exact comment on the other reel yay

Motley-Fool responds:

That's why you are my favorite, Apa, consistency! No but seriously you are awesome!

[V-Metaljonus]

Fierce shredding!

This is easily on par with (if not better than) plenty of metal bands who are signed to major labels like Century Media or Nuclear Blast.

The backing riffs were well structured, and the song had near perfect flow throughout. The lead riffs were varied enough to keep me interested the entire time, and displayed a great level of technical skill. Great work!

Metaljonus responds:

Thanks dude! I tried pretty hard to keep it simple and interesting and catchy. I am going to upload a better mix later tonight this mix is'nt sitting well with me :(

[[TheCrusaders] The Storm]

I dig it~

It's a fine piece on its own, but with the added mental visual of a fleet of ships on stormy seas, it's really something special!

samulis responds:

I'm glad to hear you think it fits its theme. :)

[Stories of Autumn]

Good piece!

I like this one; it definitely has an autumnal aura to it. The notes meandered a tad early on, but by 1:50 you had built it up into something very nice and atmospheric.

riemannSum responds:

Thanks a lot! I see the meandering myself, but nothing I can do about it now :( I only have the file in an mp3 form unfortunately...

Sinister...

I like how you used such an innocent sounding instrument (musicbox) to create a melody with such a sinister undercurrent.

Another piece of yours I'll look forward to.

Back-From-Purgatory responds:

Music boxes can be both the most innocent and the most sinister sounding instruments on the planet depending on how they're used... And I love the schizophrenic nature of them.

Glad you enjoyed it!

[-A Taste Of...- V.3]

Surprising, atmospheric metal!

Wow, this was quite a surprise; I wasn't expecting such an atmospheric piece of metal, with a dark atmosphere and moody, yet energetic riffs. I'm usually not a huge fan of orchestra in metal (because lord knows it's overused in certain subgenres), but I felt it worked very well here; it didn't feel obtrusive, but rather aided in the atmosphere that had previously been established.

Overall, this is shaping up to be a good piece of music! Looking forward to the final.

Back-From-Purgatory responds:

I'm very much a minimalist with my music. I prefer the "simple but effective" approach over "Technical prowess to impress"... Some would say that's because I lack the skills to do much that'd really impress people technically... and they're probably right, I'm by no means an amazing guitarist. But either way, even if I could, I still prefer my current methods. Something doesn't have to be drowning in speedy solos and technical change ups to be fun to listen to.

Thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed it! And I'll try not keep you guys waiting too long for the next version... god knows it took me long enough to put up version 3.

[In Mist She Was Standing]

Nicely done!

Sounds to be pretty heavily inspired by the Gothenburg death metal scene...if not, then disregard what I just said.

Nothing too dynamic going on with the melody, but it keeps the song's energy going nice and steady. I personally like the shift near the end where the riff gets a bit darker; though the song ended soonafterwards, it was a nice shift. If you're going to revisit this in the future, I'd definitely suggest developing that end melody a bit more!

Overall, nicely done!

seel responds:

It's a cover of an Opeth song so you were pretty close, their early material was most likely influenced by the Swedish DM scene. The whole song is like 14 minutes, don't think I'll ever have the patience to make a full cover... But you never know.
