Dragonforce: Ultra Beatdown. Hands and Ears on

September 18, 2008 Chris 1 comment

Hey Few Readers (And Yorka), as the title says, this post is about Dragonforce’s latest production called Ultra Beatdown. Even Though The CD Has been out for quite a while already, I decided to buy it today while I was @ Hot Topic looking on what to spend 20 bucks :P . I bought the 2 Disc Special Edition, One Of The Discs is a DVD with the making of Ultra Beatdown and Herman Li’s Guitars, how it’s made, etc..

I can tell you That I Have Enjoyed The CD since the very first second. It is noticeable how they used the sound engineering to create many of the CD’s sound, but I must say that they fit perfectly.  Since the first second I started to move and enjoy the CD, It is catchy.

So Here Goes a list on what I think about the CD:

  • Sound Engineering: Very well done, It doesn’t sound bloated or with too much, just with the right amount of sounds at the correct speed.
  • Vocals: Excellent Job! As always, very powerful, but this time you actually feel them, It makes you want to sing (fans of the track “Through Fire And Flames” should get it)
  • Guitars: Herman Li Rocks :P Great Work! on the new stuff, Though you can actually listen to a modified versions of the solo in “Through Fire And Flames” Throughout “Ultra Beatdown”, so that i kinda disliked. but it fits nice.
  • Drums: Excellent!
  • Speed: Make me wanna headbang :P I like the fact that from time to time the speed varies and goes slow and makes emphasis on vocals then the power comes back, then the speed. Very Nice.
  • Additional Effects: Very Nice, I actually tolerate and like the video game sounds.
  • Graphic Design: Very Decent, the front cover (on booklet) looks kinda early 90’s to me… so, It didn’t impress me, but it’s ok.
  • Title: They could have delivered a better one :P It’s still nice though.
  • In General: Very Nice Work, I Like it very much, I Enjoy the improvements and i think it was worth the 16 bucks. If you decide to buy it or download it, turn on your speakes and just let th music blow you away :P

Now: The Pictures.. (SORRY FOR THE QUALITY!!!!)

Morning Metal by accident.

Hello Few Readers and Yorka, It’s 9:17 AM and I’m awake and had already started my day (haven’t ate breakfast yet though). First thing in the morning I did since I had nothing better to do and I wasn’t sleepy (ok, now that i think of it, I am kinda sleepy… anyways….)was to fix a myspace for a friend. When Finished I also added a video which I like Much by Heroes del Silencio and the track is “Entre Dos Tierras”, so that got me on my mood to listen to more hispanic rock, which led me to Soda Estereo, Which led me to finding about this new band called Gauchos De Acero.

Now, about Gauchos De Acero. These Three Brothers In Metal (Literally) Formed a band that will have you rocking even if you don’t want to. Here are their names :

    • Emilio (Guitar And Vocals)
    • Agus (Drums)
    • Martin (Bass And Drums)

What impressed me:

    • Their Music
    • Their Ages

I’m so impressed by these kids… I’ve added their links, their CD (which as a matter of fact is HOME RECORDED and for free distribution) some pictures and a youtube video.
