Excellent! Emotional! Powerful!

You did a fine work with the Arrangement in all song parts!

Starting from the intro - it is very well build up and leads to the song in a natural and dynamic manner.

Although it's a bit too long (for an "A side" track) it is not invasive and helps introducing to the song's elements and vibe. The piano is maybe unusual for this style in general, but it fits very well with all other instruments and parts.

As we go thru the song, things that are really notable and a major factor for the power of your sound are the dynamics and the riffs. Guitar Riffs are acting as an active leader for the rhythmic and melodic parts of the track. Well conceived and executed, they help the vocal and are memorable. There's rock in it!

Very good work with the dynamics too: pauses, crescendo, switching tempos, sound explosions, accents and screams - all of this helps your song and makes it sound powerful, unique and emotional - the sound that Radios are looking for.

Furthermore, there is an important role for each instrument in the different song parts. The Bass and the Drums, for example, are playing tight and making you jump along with the fast section. Listening to the chords or listening to the snare - it doesn't matter - the listener is involved with you.
The guitar solo is an excellent example of how a solo should be offered to the listener's attantion and how the track will resume its way (after the solo). It comes smoothly, evolves and delivers us its beauty and then becomes part of the riff - as smoothly as it came.

The vocal is an integral part of the arrangement and at the same time stands out with its particular performance - things like screams, emotional expressions, accents give the song the characteristic sound it has. Very well performed! We live your feelings and emotions - the "un de-ser-tor" hits your brain and the impact is impressive.

Again - Excellent work!
But don't take my words for imperative. There are still things that can be done better.
While the song impact is impressive and keeps the interest thru its lines, there's one thing that could mislead the listener: The lack of one part, more important than any other parts.
In other words - you offer many, important and well done parts. But one part should stand out for its intensity. Don't put the listener in difficulties. Don't ask him to remember all or more than two parts of a song. One (usually Chorus), repeated more often than others, is enough. The other one (usually Verse) shouldn't be as impressive as the Chorus.

Here you could work to further increase the Chorus' strength and by doing so you'll achieve the immediate result - an unique and easy to remember Hook.

Keep up the excellent work!

Good Luck,

Don't let the fact that this is recorded soley in Spanish cause you to hesitate at all. There's not a word of English to be found, though there is talk about redoing some or all of the songs in an English version as well. This bunch has the same vision, power and commitment to intense progressive metal as Dreamtheater and Pain of Salvation. After all, do many of you know any of the lyrics of either of these other two great bands? Anyone that is, with a life? Ongo is a to-the-wall metal group with great songs and world class players. Ruly Kuan, bassist for the band, is right up there in the mix, with some lines that would make John Myung smile. If you like where progressive metal is headed these days, you will like Ongo.
