Jesus, Mary & Joseph! That almost ripped my head off. Brutal and then some.
I'm never quite sure what to do with this type of music though.
Do I dance? Do I headbang? Do I rape and pillage? Or just pillage?
Production wise though, sounds tip top.

"Oooh I dont know. Sounds a bit scary"
"It's not scary. You just lose a sense of who you are and all that sh!t"

it's "hardcore" you're supposed to do a typical dutch dance on this! (and eat a lot of xtc:P)
it's called hakken/gabber, like the people do on this festival/video;

I like your drive and enthusiasmMaartenP wrote:don't you have any critique?! i want to get better!
What works in this genre is the combination of brutality and cheesiness, which when blended together provide a dancey/ravey soundscape.
While I think your track sounds excellent, it is missing any cheesy/happy elements.
Now it may be this is exactly what you're going for, and if so then great.
However, if this were on a dancefloor I do suspect there'd be violence instead of a sea of lunatics dancing.
If you were to break the brutality with a proper cheesy rave lead I think that would make all the difference.
Just my 2c mate, I probably know nothing. So take my comments with a grain of salt.

but thats the one thing i hate about hardcore/hardstyle. if you make a genre like that its supposed to be hard, and not happy... (atleast in my opinion)
so after all i think i achieved my goal;)
thnx for the feedback!
definitely helpfull!
