Like the atmospheres through here. Maybe it's just my speakers, but the low end is getting a little muddy.

A  tad to predictable IMO, esp. given the track title. A bit of actual dissonance wouldn't have hurt.

Enjoyed the feel that you created and there was some great percussion.

I'm enjoying the collection of sounds, they work well together, and nice live feel. For me the mix isn't bringing out the best in the music (especially the hat on the left sticks out uncomfortably for my ears!)

Good groove/drums, no so much the first lead/melody, so it's better to my ear when you start to solo in the middle of the track.

nice choice to cut the bass for a second here - really creates a nice moment.

Cognitive Dissonance - Selective Reality

ToneDeF is a software engineer by profession, part-time composer by inclination. He is influenced musically by what he listens to, which consists of hard rock, hair metal, synth-pop, progressive rock/metal, new age electronic, techno/trance, and classics from the Romantic and Baroque periods. It is not unusual to hear tiny shades of commercially successful works within his own humble little ones -- he considers it an homage to the truly talented.

One of ToneDeF's guilty pleasures is recreating the music of classic computer/video games utilizing modern synthesized and sampled sounds. His first submission to SoundCloud was a re-imagining of the main theme music from the classic LucasArts game, "Ballblazer".

Although he has chosen "ToneDeF" as his handle, rest assured that he is not actually "tone deaf".

Who exactly are "The ElectroMetal Minstrels"? They are the virtual musicians "performing" the virtual instruments on each track sequenced by ToneDeF.
