Description: Quite a quick simple effect. Created using my heavy goth boots to give a sense of weight. I have recently learn't how to add this to my UDK level and have tested it. It is a very quick sound so the downside is you have to listen to it several times to really appreciate it.

Blind Guardian - Skalds And Shadows (FULL COVER by Koslides)

Russian symphonic metal troupe Imperial Age is back in January 2018 with a new album – The Legacy Of Atlantis.  The current incarnation of Imperial Age boasts an impressive line-up of gifted musicians with a solid metal look.  This, their third full-length release, was quickly followed by the band embarking on an extensive tour of Europe with metal legends Therion.

The album The Legacy Of Atlantis is devised as a metal opera.  The story set in an alternative history of planet earth - somewhat akin to Jon Schaffer’s ‘Something Wicked’ mythos - featuring ancient advanced civilizations, hyper-evolved superhuman biologies, and global cataclysms.  The cover art depicts the protagonist in all his glory with the fantasy world setting framed behind.  This is great metal fare, especially for fans of concept albums!

The album opens with “The Awakening” followed by the title track “The Legacy of Atlantis” – two of the strongest tracks on the album.  “The Awakening” is a solid march that a barrels over the listener with a display of power and poise.  The song “The Legacy Of Atlantis” employs a deft, engaging countermelody on the guitar, gives a killer catchy verse, and great melody throughout.  Another album highlight, the track “Domini Canes” is a lofty anthem that features guest vocals from Therion’s Thomas Vikstrom.  While the album meanders a little toward the end, there are no bad tracks on this release, and the fantastic story carries the listener through any rough patches.  Imperial Age may be at their best with mid-tempo rockers such as “Island’s Of Time”, a song featuring solid riffing that allows space for their triple-vocal attack to do its damage.  

And the singers on this album are impressive, with Alexander "Aor" Osipov giving the male operatic vocals with power befitting a warrior race.  Anna Moiseeva’s classic highs are inspiring, aided by Jane Odintsova’s mezzo soprano, providing a range of emotion and color to the lyrics.  The vocal mix is superb here – even in the chorus and choral portions, you can still hear each distinct voice lending itself to the total sound.

Those looking for virtuoso metal guitar might be disappointed with The Legacy Of Atlantis, as the musicians in Imperial Age keep it simple, with tasteful solos that do their work and then get out of the way.  The music as a whole – never a single instrumentalist – is always the focus.  Imperial Age are able to create a big, epic sound without the orchestral/symphonic elements ever overwhelming the listener.  Indeed, while this is a must-have for symphonic metal enthusiasts, certainly fans of more straightforward European power metal will find much to like here as well.

I give this album a rating of 8 ½ out of ten.  The Legacy Of Atlantis is solid, modern metal – heavy and melodic with capable musicianship, talented singers, and excellent composition.

Lunatica - The Edge Of Infinity 2018 Orchestra Version

Another sound effect created whilst playing around with my guitar. This one was created by strumming on the chords lightly with a penny. I then brought it into Audition and played with the attenuation and effect to give a bubbly warm noise. This is then placed into UDK as an ambient sound so that you can walk past it and the sound plays. 

Bubbling Observation Tanks Sound Effect

By far the sound effect I am most impressed with. The main droning mechanic noise is a real world compactor in work that I recorded. Then adjusted the effect and added another sound over the top. This is the alarm that was created by me moving the guitar cable from side to side on the rim of my guitar. I had several different effects for the door and the alarm but I chose to combine these two as the compactor noise had the most weight to it, and the other alarms that i made were created by strumming and didn't have the same tone. 

Door Alarm Sound Effect

Quite happy with how this sound turned out. Again created by walking in my heavy boots. I have tested this in UDK but the problem is it is very quiet in the game. I would need to increase the decibels for the player to be able to hear it properly. I added the echo effect in Adobe Audition as I felt the same of the room would warrant an echo as the player navigates the level. If I had the time I would have made several different sounds dependent on the type of surface that the player is walking on ie. Glass/Metal/Wood etc. 

Footsteps Sound Effect

This effect is another real world recording of the goods lift in work. I chose this sound as it didn't have as much weight as the compactor noises, this was because I didn't think it would sound right because the door is bigger than the generator that this sound is attached to. I brought this sound into Audition and added a drop off so it sounds like the generator is starting and then the motor is winding down. 

Generator Sound Effect

Quite a quick simple effect. Created using my heavy goth boots to give a sense of weight. I have recently learn't how to add this to my UDK level and have tested it. It is a very quick sound so the downside is you have to listen to it several times to really appreciate it.
