Song Reviews
A Review of ‘Death and the Angel’—‘NOO5E’.
The non-vocal parts are really in the mood of heavy metal, although some sections are too repetitive. The vocal line needs getting some vocal lessons/training! The way the singer sings sounds like he is not emotionally connected to music part of the song. There is no dynamic fluctuation among the background, foreground and midground layers of the track. Obviously, if you avoid excessive repetition of melodic lines, this tune can be a potential heavy metal musical work in the industry!

I like the voice, it's a really nice voice...
Guitar sound comes in good and mighty, the drums join in and sounds quiet good. Recording and mixing is although good, too, but there's one weak point I have to mention: I like the voice, it's a really nice voice, but you have to work on the intonation. Like how it is now, it hurts most of the time my ears, and I know this can be done better! Song writing is cool. Stay that way and improve intonation in singing, then you'll rock the planet!

Death and the Angel
I really liked this song. Great potential there if recorded, mixed, and mastered properly. Very catchy tune and the riffs are top notch. The vocals are a bit strange but in a good way because it's different from the norm.

An honest review
As a vocalist, i am always most critical of other vocals (as I expect the same in return lol) but i feel as though the vocal mix could use some work. Also, you can use a little more dynamic with the peak and valley of your vocals. As far as the instrumentals, the high hats could use resonance and a bit more spacing (in the milliseconds) and the rest of it sounds pretty solid. Keep uo the good work!

awful sound
I´m really sorry, but your production is not very good. The guitarsound is really like homerecording, first try. the composing of the song is ok, but nothing special. vocals are ok, too. Keep rehearsing.

kick ass title.
I love the crunching into riff. It puts me in mind of a professional wrestling these. The drumming is spot on as is the melodic break. As in their other songs the only real drawback I find with the song is the vocals. They are to dull and don't seem to fit the rest of the song. Not that the vocalist is band, but he needs to reach outside his normal vocal range for a killer song like this. Add some screams, overdubs going into the break and at the end. Maybe a little echo and reverb as well.

Nice
Really nice song with a great concept of lyrics and strong message! These guys are pretty good and the music too, it's very well played, composed and produced! Well done boys! We are really curious of how far you guys are going to go and if you are going to play at (UK) at some point give us a shout and we might play together! Check us out at facebook: October Ends. Our new EP is out on Spotify too! Peace! (Y)

Death of an Angel, Gracefully Articulate
There was something about this cut that really put the hook in me. Was it the vocals? Melody? The plodding Rhythm section coupled with the high edged guitars? Perhaps the Vocals that emulated a master troubadour leading his orchestrated band of bards ensnaring your attention with their raw originality. I found myself really loving this tune. This song, once it takes hold, will not let you go, or down.

Death and the Angel
The music is killer, good riffs and good song structure. My only complaint is that the vocals lack feeling. Give the vocals 100 times more feeling and you guys will have a great sound! Keep rockin'!!!!

Death and the Angel
Yeahh! uhm... hi there. I listen to your music and what i notice is, that your music to straight to rigid. First in the beginning it starts pretty well, but when the vocal comes in, it drops down, becaus this sounds like "give me the mic and see what comes out". I don't hear anything special, what makes your music different from other metal bands. It's just making music and thats it. thats cool, but if you wil get any further you should do something whit the voice like in tune and se what kind of sound you want and if it's fits your voice and music. This means all so for the music. Think about it, try something new, constantly until you got it.

It's okay
I really don't like rock is not my kind of music but I can dig what is being said and the feel of the song I think it need a more better beat to pop it off smoothly and make it stick but it's hard getting a vibe cause is too loud and the feel goes away then appear but over all I accept it feel the mainingful of it different type of music so I respect any artist or who is trying to make it

NOO5E
Death and the angel is a good song, with a heavy catchy guitar riff and a nice acoustic/heavy middle section, I'm not crazy about the vocal line on the verse, too much similar to the riff, gets better on the chorus. Drums a little bit too low in the mix.

Hard Hitting Metal driven by dark vocals
Great Riffs mixed with Alternative Metal drives a hard hitting sound..chorus's are well put together.Dark melodic Vocals bring you into darkness,and despair,as the guitars and bass build off each other ..feeding into the machine called NOO5E.The lyrics are dark,and ambiotic ,not over the top dark though..i really enjoyed this band...I bet I will be hearing more in the future from these guys..
