Babylon Is Rising

[treesha]

Really great song and very well done ! Has a great atmosphere, like the sum of the parts together make it even stronger. I'm not up on metal mixing, for me if the lyrics weren't written here I would have missed some of them and they are good. The vocal is great in tone and expression, as are all the parts, maybe just a little up in the mix would be clearer ? guitar slightly lower at times? Maybe just my listening space. Love the drums. enjoyed this song very much 

ps I have one called Babylon is Falling from my reggae band days ha.

The All Starz!

This is one super group that is truly a super group, not just a bunch of names dropped to earn clicks, but a an amalgamation of artistic elements producing a novel compound.

Thakee sai Screed.

hey, look at all these famous chaps. Thanks for including the credits and Cakewalk names. Nice to know who played what. Is this an online collab? Who pieced it together and mixed?

Not into metal but I liked this one nevertheless.
Also, what Mark said above about the EQ. Just seems like the volume drops in that section.

Thanks for the listen bjornpdx

Wow - that was cool; well done everyone! As someone that enjoys symphonic metal (in addition to other genres too) I loved the overall sound of the mix, and the guitar solo.

My only comment on the mix is that metal is usually compressed a tiny bit more, with a bit more emphasis on the low end. I realise that it's quite nice to not overly squash the mix though.

Thanks for listening and the comments antler.

Pretty epic piece here dudes ! Forum all stars all around.  The vocals are so well done and mixed in here, super clarity in a very busy mix  . . . nice.

Just a pleasure to listen to how the band comes together here . . . wow, was this all done virtually, remotely ?

Thanks noynekker.

Yes, this was all done remotely.

Great stuff all around. If I compare to earlier BJZ songs I think the vocals fits better in the mix now. Well played in a great song.

Thanks Lasse.

Yes, it's an online collab. I did the final mix/master with approval/input from the other members.
