Default Music: Friops "Dying Dreams" - Full Album (Nu Metal) 🎵🎸

Hi everyone,

During this years and the past weeks in particular, I have been co-mixing / mastering my little brother Friops first and solo album, Dying Dreams ! 🎸Of course, all was made in REAPER. 🤘

It is some kind of melancolic nu metal with melodic vocals which are mostly clean.

Themes are mostly broken love and loneliness (which is definitely on point to me at this moment) (note: if these are sensitive subject to you as well, please get help asap).
As lyrics are important to us, we made a lyrics videos for every tracks on YouTube, but you can also listen to it on other streaming platforms!
Here are some of the videos:

01 - Awaiting (Intro)





02 - Loneliness




03-12

(Click here for the next part of the youtube playlist) ▶

My personal favorite is probably From Pain We Rise.... or I'll Always be Your Friend... or even Show me How to Die.... Hard to pick one 😏



We will appreciate any feedback, on the composition, the mixing etc, positive or negative,
But of course, we hope you will enjoy it, it will meant a lot to us. 🥰

More infos on this dedicated blog article. 🔗

Cheers!

From Pain We Rise:

It starts with a very straight guitar riff. The vocals that set in
add a psychedelic moment and merge into a melodic part. It has a
certain monotony and profundity.

Technically, I would have made the vocals a little louder. So they
are very much embedded between the guitar parts. Oh, wait: In the
last third suddenly dark rattling vocals appear - very good!

Overall, a nice change of different parts, but still very straight
and clear: Nice song, I enjoyed it very much!

@enroe
Many thanks for the detailed feedback


We indeed could have probably squash vocals a bit more but we realized that the trend in metal is not that loud vocals so that guitars can feel bigger. But of course it is a thin line between quiet and too quiet :P


I hope you will also enjoy the other track as well, they all have something unique to propose


Cheers !
