still listening to it for 4 years, in daily travels to my office. Best album of shred ever, with Paul Wardingham's "Assimilate Regenerate". Both can be on my pedestal of awesomeness, far beyond every other big name of the guitar world. This album is a proof of what dedication, intelligence and sensitive experience marco has been done through this incredible production. Congrats markoooo !!! Djont Sebastiaaaaan
I just discovered you from the collab, and Holy crap. Your playing is awesome and incredibly precise. I'd like to hear more collabs with you and Tramaine.
Hey man, I may be going through some existential shit in my head with this booze running through it, but you are giving it one hell of a soundtrack. Goodshit my guy!
Groove, melody, synth, masterful guitar work, compositional eloquence... Where do I sign? Fantastic work, and so strong out of the gate too! Hits like a sledgehammer, with the precision of an eye surgery laser. More, please. It doesn't even have to be more of the same, either... Something tells me you're so very far from being a one trick pony.
Ha, thanks so much for these kind words! :] I have done a few other (also non-metal) pieces but very few ever got released... I really try not to be a one trick pony because I really enjoy a lot of different musical genres and guitar styles but instrumental metal guitar music is where I feel the most comfortable at the moment. Apart from doing that I have a synth-pop-rock project with a female singer and a very good friend of mine which could turn out to sound very interesting as well, so if this ever gets a release I hope you will have the chance to listen to it (and hope you like it!).
On Cyborg Nephilim, I would have lost 20$ because I was so sure Paul Wardinham was part of a Band I was listening back in 2011. The band was called Non Human Level and the rythm riffs genre are very close to those on the Non Human level album. Had to check on wiki who he is. I didn't know him.
@@SYNDRONE Sure is. That was a great album. It's the self Titled album. Thanks again for responding to the comments. You are pretty active on your channel. That's really appreciated. Cheers from Montreal :)
@@Legion_Victrix I'll definitely have to check out the album in a quiet moment! Yeah, I try to respond to everyone because I appreciate every comment and enjoy having conversations! :] Cheers!
Its just So fitting to feature Paul Wardingham. The album sounds absolutely incredible! ...and that tone is clearly better than a 6 😉 Let me just rub in my 7 score for a second, so i feel falsely better about myself after hearing this masterpiece 😊
Haha tone is always taste, but I`m glad you think it`s higher than a 6! :D I was super stoked to have Paul and Keegan play on my album! Paul has been a big influence since his first album, so it made sense to me to ask him for a guest solo :)
SYNDRONE SYNDRONE 1 week later: played this on repeat everyday. Really nice job man. The mix is excellent too 🙂 Do you by any chance do mixing for others, or just mainly your own stuff?
@@FilipFichoBoshevski Thanks for the kind words, Filip! Glad you still dig it! :] Yep, I also do mixing for other bands and artists. I haven't put together a portfolio but you can find some more info on my website www.syndrone-music.com/audio-production :)
Been listening to this masterpiece of an album whenever I do homework and I must ask, do you have any projects in the works? Would be a shame for such talent to not continue pursuing music
@@ProductionsA2 I have a few collaborations with cool guitar players going on, but regarding my personal work it will take me some more time. Though the 2nd album is written for the most part, so it's hopefully not going to take too long :)
I am enjoying this album a lot. There's some great writing and playing on display here, and a great balance of heavy and melodic elements. You definitely deserve more exposure. This album is on my list of albums I'll buy when I'm not broke. Thanks and wishing you the best in the future!
I dig it. Your runs are really cool, it all seems in good taste to me. More djent-y stuff is fun because you break it up with more melodic/legato stuff in-between. I really love your legato parts they sound super cool. Im pretty new to all this but maybe try multisampling drums or playing with different synth patches/modulation to give your rhythm a little more flavor. I like the rhythm itself but its sounds a little robotic and i think its just because its from a single sample? Awesome overall man, ill be a new follower
Im not sure if you did try to mix it up with multisampling and all that, I know doing that stuff is really complicated but if youre just looking to spice something up id just look at rhythm timbre/diversity is all.
Thanks mate! I appreciate your suggestions! :] I guess most of the robotic sound comes from the drum computer and the midi low end of the bass track, which in fact both use multisampling but since it`s a software and all quantized it will most likely always sound a bit robotic, even if the software would use even more different samples. Though to a certain degree this robotic sound is what I was/am after in my music because it fits the vision and the music that I had/have in mind. :) I dig a lot of more organic sounding metal bands but for my own project I wanted to have a different approach to reflect the futuristic mood a bit more. :)
Good. I suggest you to use more audio layers (maybe synthesizer, one more layer of guitar and other instruments, electro effects for background sound) because some times it sounds good and powerful but some times too empty. Even simple sounds will change impression a lot in that moments. Subbed :)
Thanks for the feedback! :) Can you show me a part that sounds too empty? I'm curious because I feel like it's already very dense all the time and that it might have been good to have more parts that let the tracks breathe... It's defo hard not to loose perception and the overview while being in the production process. :]
@@SYNDRONE sure, I will make timecodes list in a few days and send it here. Also, have you heard "Mick Gordon - Doom (2016)" album of soundtracks to game Doom (2016)? Some parts of it sounds like in your work, but it mostly dark-electro-techno-andalittlebitmetal focused (I'm not good in music genres) Tracks from that album to check out (guitar in that ones in main role) : Trackname. (time of track) BFG Division. (8:27) Harbinder. (7:11) Maybe you can listen it and get inspired a little bit in future works :)
@@Trantarok That would be cool, thanks! :) And YES, I'm a huge fan of Mick Gordon! What he did on Doom with the infamous Russian synth is genius. Totally love the guitar work as well. :] ...I can't wait for the new Doom! \m/
@@SYNDRONE Looks like only one track have noticeable problem parts. Everything else sounds mostly logical flowing from one part to another. I also noticed that many tracks often looks like each other: same speed, solo and small parts with minimal changes. Nothing wrong with that, but in newer works you should think about that. Creating and experimenting with totally different tracks will improve your skills and album a lot. 2 Heartbeta 2.0 6:22 - background line appearce (synthesizer) ~7:50 background line disappearces. You can use that line few more times in moments below to keep listener attention. 10:22 - 10:38 before that moment everything was intense with melodic elements and I expected to that continues :) Thats why that moment feels like some sounds missing. Maybe something more on background will help. 10:55 - 10:11 in that part music repeats twice, but it takes too much time. Maybe 1-1.5 repeat is just enough
haha thanks mate! Well, I`m all alone in this project, so I need to cover the bass myself as well... My bass playing skills are just enough to do that! ;P
Great player, but once again like Paul Wardinghams albums, that terrible so called 'drumming' and layering is over the top and sooooo annoying, repetitive and not a natural sound (melodic) that it ruins the sound of the guitar. Thanks, but not for me I will stick to Andy James and similar styles with a bit more soul, melody, song writing, compositions etc. (If this is read, I have listened to and owned tens of thousands of albums for near on 50 years! Especially guitarists, but each to his own, I guess).

Nice pick dude. Thanks for showing me this awesome shit.

Thank you so much for these uplifting words my dude!! 🤜🏻🤛🏻 I really appreciate them a lot and I'm happy to have you still on board! 🤘🏻
Man some of the melodies reminds me some good old In Flames. I bet there is a tiny bit of inspiration that comes from there. This is a masterpiece.
Yeah, absolutely! Actually more than just a tiny bit :]
Thanks a lot mate!
@@SYNDRONE Cool :)
Coming here from your Dominion solo cover 12 years ago. Shout-out to our boys in Scar Symmetry. Otherwise would've never discovered Syndrone today.
Cool, glad you found my channel! :) Yeah, that cover is super old.. Makes me feel very old, too! haha I hope you like what you find on here. Cheers!
I just discovered you from the collab, and Holy crap. Your playing is awesome and incredibly precise. I'd like to hear more collabs with you and Tramaine.
Thanks for the kind words! Tramaine is a killer guitar player, would definitely not hesitate to collab with him again! 🤘🏻
One of those albums that you can just leave on repeat. Great job.
DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That Chorus starting at 46:07 just has so much energy! Feel like playing some old 16bit Beat em Up having to save the world! I love it :-D
That sounds like a lot of fun! Makes me want to play some Battletoads when I read that haha! Thanks for checking out my music! :)
@@SYNDRONE Yeah Battletoads wäre auch eine Möglichkeit. Dachte and Streets or Rage oder so.
@@NicolasAlexanderOtto ha, das wär natürlich auch cool :D
Mindblowing. Great technique and great compositions💯💯💯💯

Epic!
