Shiverwar's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Anton]

I don't have much to say other than, well... Damn. I felt that. I felt the emotions flowing through each note, every key that was played. It's clear where your heart and mind were during these brief two minutes, and it flowed out beautifully, in a percussive symphony of audible sorrow.

[Bloody Tears]

Taking into account that this is from 2005, this definitely isn't a bad remix of Bloody Tears at all. Kind of sounds like a variation you'd hear in a DS game or a fanmade Castlevania game. Not bad at all.

[Archangel]

Bruh. This is some bomb-ass stuff, mate. It's just intense enough to convey that sense of battle, but not too intense as to overshadow all of the other subtleties going in through the track. Looks like I have some catching up to do.

AceMantra responds:

Hey, thanks! I know you do some great stuff as well. Maybe we should collab sometime.

[My Love Story]

Not really my cup of tea in terms of genre, but it holds itself together very well, and nothing seems dissonant to my ears. It's actually quite relaxing, which is something I've been needing for a while now. Keep up the good work, mate!

[Monster Hunter: World - Rotten Vale]

This may have been uploaded on April 1st, but this certainly ain't a foolish cover. This freakin' rocks, man! I love me some Monster Hunter: World, and while the Rotten Vale certainly is NOT my favorite area (that belongs to the area just before it, the Coral Highlands), I love the atmosphere its theme provides, and your cover makes me think of an epic final battle inside the Vale itself, no end in sight for the hunter's strife.

[Valiant Blade]

What else can I say that others haven't? This is friggin' awesome, man! As always, a fantastic piece by you!

[Real Life Monsters (feat. Eric Vanlerberghe of I Prevail)]

Now, I'm not normally a fan of screaming in metal, but I find myself totally fine with it here. In fact, I think the contrast between the melodic singing and primal screaming works quite well here. It's quite the enjoyable duality, for lack of a better word. Y'all did a great job with this!

[Emo May Cry]

This... is going to be awful on my end, because I'm actually playing through the reboot. In terms of level design and gameplay, it's not as bad as people make it out to be, in fact the levels are fantastically designed. Too bad the characters and story aren't, though!

That being said, this is fucking epic. I wish I had heard this when it was released! And hey, guess what? Capcom is coming out with a proper Devil May Cry 5, too, soooo... yeah!

[Tír na hÓige]

Twenty seconds in, and I'm grinning ear to ear, man! The fact that you based this off of Tír na nÓg is, in and of itself, an awesome touch, but the overall tune is, as one would expect, fucking rad and melodic as hell! No wonder it got frontpaged back in March!

DanJohansen responds:

Hey man! Glad you dig it, yeah I dig celtic folklore and music style, so I just had to! haha

[Undertale - Papyrus Theme]

This was pretty bloody awesome, man! My only complaint: it ends WAY to soon! I need more!
