My band's new release - 'Carousel'

Postby electrizer » Thu May 24, 2012 2:42 pm

Hello all fans of progmetal around here :)

Just wanted to ask you guys for feedback on something Bright Color Vision have been working hard for almost a year now. This is 'Carousel' which has been recorded, mixed and is going to be released on CD soon by us.

Sounds great man...Cool band.. The master is a bit hot for my liking, but kids these days supposedly love it loud..
The only other comment I'd make is maybe put and English song at the top, as I thought You were a polish band at first..
All depending on what your target market may be...

Nice job,, great guitar Zak Wyldeish guitar sounds

Not my cup of tea tbh, so I couldn't give a good opinion. I have to say there's lot's of great prog bands coming from Poland lately, Joseph magazine, Perihelium, of course the very known Riverside.

Thanks guys! I understand the argument about the mix being too "hot" but shit happens when you do stuff yourself. I remember not so long ago someone posted an article written by a sound engineer expressing his regret that more and more people mix stuff themselves at home without paying him to do it and because of that the music loses in quality, which I consider a valid argument but at this stage we can't really afford professional-scale recording, mixing and mastering.

I know Riverside, yes. I must say that their gig was the first in London which was produced excellently! Not to loud (as it's often the case with live music in London), you could go to the concert without knowing any of the songs and being able to discriminate every single note!

Thanks for taking time to listen guys!

I've just uploaded all songs with improved mix, after some advice we got in the meantime. The album will soon be available on CD if anyone cares.

Thanks for sharing, sounds like you fit in well with the band and have that genre down nicely. I don't care for that vocal style but those into that kind of music should really dig this. Congrats on the release!!!!

Hey! You toned down the guitars!!! They gave me ear fatigue, but now they sit in the pocket. Drum sound is more prominant and fat. Sounds way better.

Thanks guys for the kind words :) Yes, the guitars have been pulled down a bit the the section turned up. Now it has a little more bottom, 'meat' to it. I can't wait to hold a copy of it in my hands finally :D I'm sending off the projects for printing this week.

Guys, just to let everybody know that THE VERY FIRST digipak copy of our album 'Carousel' is on sale and whatever the ultimate bid is it goes to the charity - Save the Kids UK! So if there are any prog-metal fans here go ahead and do yourself a double favor - help the kids and get some good unsigned progressive music :) Thanks!!!
