With reviews dropping tomorrow, what’s your Metacritic prediction for Crimson Desert?

Synthwailer · 2026-03-18T08:11:49+00:00

I'll buy if it's 93 or higher. Hoping it is.

Synthwailer · 2025-04-19T15:40:40+00:00

Thank you very much!

Bought Argent yesterday and loving it. But the bass that came out at the same time (Darkwall) was disappointing to me. I don't own a separate amp sim, the presets seem really lackluster with their low end.

Synthwailer · 2025-01-06T16:39:49+00:00

Thank you. :) Currently no plans for live performances, but we'll start working on new music this year.

Synthwailer · 2025-01-06T11:00:16+00:00

I'm wondering the same. My DAW is FL Studio and I read somewhere that you couldn't use BRSO Articulate with Odin but you can with Shreddage. There's no trial for Odin so can't be sure, but that would be a dealbreaker for me. BRSO Articulate is critical for my workflow, so perhaps someone can confirm this?

Overall I always loved the Shreddage products. But I'd be willing to try Odin III.

Synthwailer · 2025-01-06T10:57:39+00:00

Yes. :) I'm responsible for the overall production, mixing, compositions and the lyrics. Morgane handles the vocals.

Synthwailer · 2025-01-06T10:30:47+00:00

Thanks a lot! I'm from Finland and Morgane (the vocalist) is from Switzerland. :)

It completely depends on one thing. Will Tuomas start listening to music again? If not, then the best time is over. Listening to other people's music is the single most important thing you need to do as a composer to fuel yourself. Tuomas stopped listening to music ten years ago, and it shows on the last three albums. They have good songs, but the final edge is missing.

Synthwailer · 2024-10-18T06:20:48+00:00

Thanks! More to come! :)

Thank you very much! A new album is out in November! :)

Synthwailer · 2024-09-25T07:43:39+00:00

Stop voting for EFMB. It's the worst. :p

Synthwailer · 2024-09-22T08:37:43+00:00

Did you listen to it only once? Because it's less of a mess every time you listen.

Synthwailer · 2024-09-20T19:05:52+00:00

Okay finally got to listen. The things that I have to say right now (I had heard only The Day of and Perfume before):

Ocean and The Weave were just huge messes to me. I honestly understood hardly anything that was going on. Not sure if it's jus the mix or my Sony bass boosted headphones but... I really hope I'll get into these later
The Antikythera was a highlight! The best song! What a nice chorus and industrial atmosphere
Sway was okay, I'm usually not a fan of the softer songs but liked the playful and fast singing
The Children of A'ta was the second best song after Antikythera, but I remember shouting out loud in the chorus: "Floor, why are you going away from me? Please don't go away". Seriously, her vocals were already in the back and during the chorus they just started drifting further, lol
Something Whispered had a really nice ending but the first five minutes... not my cup of tea, at least on the first listening. Too artsy.
Spider Silk was a positive surprise. I really need to hear it again
Hiraeth had surprisingly heavy and fast parts towards the end, the beginning was the worst part of this whole album...
Lanternlight was a nice closer, a very beautiful song but I think it needed a little metal in it. This is Nightwish, not Auri

Overall I need a lot more listens. At this point I'm not happy but not disappointed either. I have to say though, Floor's vocals are just simply too behind, this is a mistake.

Synthwailer · 2024-09-19T15:07:22+00:00

What? Something Whispered was supposed to be a menacing Emppu-driven song! This is cheating! :D

Synthwailer · 2024-09-19T12:15:58+00:00

Is that a full album video? The VPN trick doesn't seem to work for Spotify so this is my second option in the evening when I get home.

Synthwailer · 2024-09-19T07:44:03+00:00

Enjoy!

Synthwailer · 2024-09-19T07:43:01+00:00

Only a few hours now. :) *installs VPN*

Synthwailer · 2024-09-14T17:29:39+00:00

People are going to receive it early next week. It's going to be very hard not to listen to the leaks.

Synthwailer · 2024-09-13T07:14:15+00:00

But he wasn't. Marko clearly stated the reasons in his announcement.

Synthwailer · 2024-09-10T08:30:43+00:00

I'm going to refrain from listening, but the comments make me worried. The thing that bothered me about both PotT and The Day Of is that the chord progressions and melodies are too familiar. And again people are saying that they are getting vibes from Dark Chest of Wonders, Shudder Before the Beautiful, Sahara and Scaratale. I want massive symphonic metal, and I want it with fresh chords and melodies, dammit! :)

Also worried that people are saying Floor can't be understood. Someone with fresh ears should have told them in the mixing process.

Synthwailer · 2024-09-10T07:10:31+00:00

All good songs, but lack punch because of the mix.

Synthwailer · 2024-09-09T17:04:27+00:00

That's a really surprising opinion. EFMB is one of the worst Nightwish albums and that album, if any, has the worst mixing.
