Yeah! I agree with the sentiments expressed above. This one rocks! My only nit-pick was the acoustic guitar sound in the intro...sounded DI'd. Otherwise awesome song!

GREAT TRACK!!!! I rocked with this track quite a few times in a row this morning. I really got a Scorps feel, at first.......from the guitar.......it just flat out RAWKED!!!! The whole arrangement and feel of this song is TOP QUALITY ROCK, Shane and I like it a TON!!!! I still hear some Scorps guitar chords there and I LOVE it.......hehehehehehehehe Rob

oh man this kicks a$$$$$.....the intro is perfect because it set the listener up for the big surprise when the song kicks in. Awesome track Shane and awesome production!

Very solid, professional rock and roll. The lyrics certainly reflect the mood around my neck of the woods. I always love when a little church organ comes in to add power as it does in this song. All around pro work. Dave Deal

DAY OF DESTRUCTION - ABOUT::: Well,, this is for sure not a relaxing song to listen to. Indeed it may be a little bit frightening. One person who is having alot of fun here though is Michael- he's really strangled that guitar here dishing out his special brand of manic nervosa- in guitar sound. Me , aside from screaming and singing i got to feel like Rick Wakeman at the Organ. When i was developing the lyrics, Michael suggested the idea to try some Organ in this- so i fired up a big Pipe Organ and, BANG ! - it came out cool !! (AT ABOUT 2:59) As for the lyrics,, er,,, Thus Quoth the Raven. Next track from The DEEP, we will try to do something a little more happy-er. Shane for The DEEP

Great Intro,nice kick and bass fine with this. Guitar is exquiste. And of couse the vox is exceptional.Giving me ideas of what to do with you next. You are the man, The RatMan! Be in touch soon Shane.

Amazing production here, guys. The playing is superb, and the vocals are huge! I must admit Michael and Shane-- I'm never left wondering when your songs are played. I know that they're top-notch and as pro-quality as they could ever be. Man, I must agree with Aka-- I'd kill to see you guys live!! Great, great job-- wonderful tune! Think I'm gonna haveta have an encore! Smiles your way, Gina/WHP

Let me 1st say this Shane : you are quite brave in your choice of song matter choosing to write about things that many would have no idea ever happened.So much applause for that mate. Its kinda goes without saying that the music and the vocal performance are pretty much top notch. There are some moments of brilliance inside this hi energi rock that captivate the listener....the chosen subject matter will make people think (I hope) . Keep doing exactly what are doing Its cool Sly

Shane, thank you once again for being part of our Center Stage Presentation! And thanks for letting me debut this song udring your special segment. I certainly hope, you had an opportunity to download the show. If not, it's still available. Cheers, Mike

Nicely done Shane! As usual your vocal is right now and so are the guitar. So, why aren't youfamous yet? Great song guys! KB

Impressive, great mix of instruments and tones. Vocals and lyrics work real well with the production. Drums were and little weak on my end but did not hurt the song. I really like what you have done here.

When I read the info, I was already excited about a possible dramatic way of this song, and Shane and Michael did it... rock music on the highest level and adorable solo parts & drive, Shane's presence is fantastic and the arrangement is tight and dense. Fantastic track!

an excellent track by the Deep, With shanes distinct vocal delivery and michaels guitar work coupled with some great arrangement and production makes for a superb song.

Love the intro..... reverse cymbal... ?... excellent effects with the awesome guitar tones and playing. Yea ,the always amazing vocals *Shane*. Great production IMO.... superb vibe and groove.... *The Deep*...never dissapoints... Well done guys ***** . !! Larry

first off let me say i really like your style. i have listened to a couple tracks already , better start out w/ your new one. everything is well mixed , EQ`d , lots of separation of instruments & sound. the acoustic sounds great on this , wow ! i dunno how u get it so up front , compression ? love the vocals alot ! singer is really good & has a distinctive voice. love the effects used on it , really thick ! lead guitar tone reminds me of old aldo nova off of debut ..:) [ life is just a fantasy ] will def get to more tracks : oh , the percussion on this is unusual , but great ! would love to see u guys live ! keep in touch aka`

Excellent. Hands down. I think everything about it is top notch. Michael

Highly a well done production with some serios D&B, very strong on all aspects, guitar is great, your vocal makes all super, my man. You have a way with all you do Shane.Strong song, Best to you friend. The RatMan!

Beautiful, beautiful... the intro guitar mood reminds me so much of "The Eagle will rise again"!!! And than THAT rockin' energy - blows me away. Cheers to you both, Shane and Michael, for a fantastic mix of traditional guitar rock with the balladesque, rich expression of Shane's vocal - which can be quite rockin' and passionate at times... and I love that unusual little solo at 3 minutes, and Micheals solo parts. The effects are so cinematic. This is a non-commerical gem. Cheers, Pascal

Ok, I am with everyone else here... I am in awe about this VERY cool intro! Very impressive!!! Michael and Shane - what a combination. Electrifying indeed!!! Love those heavy guitars, guys. Super lead with a nice tone. Vocals ... what can I say!! LOVE THEM!!! I know that at least Shane knows where to upload this tune, so I can play it on "Saturday Night Rocks" here on Mix Radio, right???? EXCELLENT tune, gents!!! Cheers, Mike

Hi Guys... Great intro. (How the hell do you get such great thunderstorm sounds...LOL? Wow...when the hard rocking part kicks in...it's time to run for cover. Nice controlled guitar sound...beautiful tone. Lyrics are excellent...the pipe organ was unexpected...but fit very nicely into this track. The whole track is smoking. I'm digging this one! Hugs...Mike (NAV)

love those bells in the intro..acoustic sounds so clear. Aw man it gets heavy...AWESOME...Shane and Michael never cease to amaze me with their work together. This track is sheer power rock and has it all...excellent vocals, fantastic guitar work and pro sounding production.

Shane and Michael, top effort in this one. I really like the shift to a heavier style of sound and you've pulled it off with aplomb. The gentle acoustics in the intro don't give a hint to the power that is about to be unleashed (although the thunder et al probably should have alerted me). Lovely crunching guitars from Michael (both rhythm and lead). Shane's voice cuts through beautifully. Great lead lines round the 2:00 mark with a seamless reentry into the vocals and some great harmonies. Love your work in the upper register Shane. Classy bit of work indeed. Cheers Brian

OK....gentlemen..... This intro is way to cool,nice effects!! Awesome ...here comes the excellent guitar work,....Michael.... SUPERB !! Now.... we've got Shane doing his mind blowing vocals. Damn' this is another extremely talented production..... First rate....Michael and Shane......:-) !! ***** Larry T.....

I know I'm a little late with reviews but I have to let you know tahat this is a really beautiful piece of music, well done vocally start to finish. Your mix is super, and all works well together. Nice working with you Shane, The RatMan!

Hey! I know I did this one before, but wanted to let you know that I came back for another listen. Wanted to hear the line that Rappi was talking about, "...no one in their right minds...". Yep-- great ear he has! Sure does have a heavy Beatley quality. It's like a Lennon idea with a Macca sound. I could hear this coming from Sgt Pepper! Yaaaaaaayyyyy!! Gina

Great tune Shane. as always your vocal is awesome as is the music and the changes are great

Wow! Epic production! Really dig the vocal style! Nice spashes of guitar leads too!

I love the music at the start.. big.. dramatic.. like the subject matter.. mike's guitar is always something special in my ears.. effective vocals as always shane.. the line "no one in their right mind".. reminds me of the late beatles.. one can't do much better than that.. cheers..

This is excellent, dramatic and dynamic in both music and vocals. Wonderfully mixed and produced-- stellar, perfect vocals. I love everything on this tune. You're amazing, really. And those lyrics-- WOW!!! Gina

The Giants....great title and the intro really pulls the listener in..vocals and fretwork really shine in this song...arrangement is perfection and the interaction of the voice and guitar is mesmerizing.

Exceptional intro.......WOW !! amazing production !! Your vocals are always a delight to listen too . Pro,pro and PRO sounds. Outstanding ,in fact, mind-blowing use of harmonies,mixing and production !! Just the right touch of great guitar work............BRAVO...Gents !!! Larry T....*****

shane your music is always a treat. vocals are always fantastic and you always bring a string melody line to the table. love the change to distortion on this piece. It adds a great element of drama to the tune.

Michael and Shane, I have honestly forgotten what over-compression sounds like or means, so let me tell you this. The guitar sounds great! The vocals are magic, and I love a thumping bass...oh!...Uh... heh heh-- well, I DO! Big sound, big production-- that's how I've come to know and love you guys. Enjoyed it very much, guys. Gina/WHP ; )

ya , loving the guitar on this one ! really stretching out here. again , the vocals are killer , just love your voice. lots of emotion & grit. you guys really know how to write & record. i hope you are touring on this ? :) cant wait to hear more ~ bass kills on this ! it does pump a bit , i would check the comp settings / limiter. rock on ! aka`

Love the bass in here. It is almost sinister the way it works in the tune. Guitar work is also excellent. Vocals are captivating. Nice work gentlemen. Touch of Trevor Rabin-era Yes in the bridge. And it works.

Oh yeah,I'm a happy listener :) I can just sit back and relax and know that all is in the safest of hands :) Awesome musicanship... H U G E sound.... You must be pushing the old redline. FEEL,EMOTION,POWER... Awesome combination. Top notch work guys. Nigel.

Great track...good arrangement,those breaks and lead fills give dynamic for the song. I agreed about overcompression...really deep bass sound and big sounds.Nice hard rock piece!Good lead fills from Michael... GC

Great combination with Shane on vocals, Mike. This is a great (soft) rocker!

Very nice guys. I hear a ton of potential here :)

Nice piece of work, has the feel of an 80's rocker to me. The backing was good, the guitars may have been a bit too much, The vocal performance was magic. well done

nice shane as always.rat

Shane's signature voice is all overthis track! Excellent sound guys. It may be a bit over-produced but damn you guys have a great sound and the ability to over-produce! I'm under it all the way. Dig the panning as well. Later, nice track. KB

Good tune. A bit over produced for my taste, the mix is overly 'sqaushed'. Your rythem ( midi drums/ bass) section needs to be tighter, especially for this type of song. Guitar a bit too hot, drums too compressed & buried. I enjoyed the song on the whole but would like to hear it breathe dynamically.

Shane and Mike....awesome track....so much power in the bottom end. I love the arrangement and the changes in this song.

A very well done piece of music, piano did well here, vocal great as always, a really nice song Shane, well played all around, really good. The RatMan!

Geeezzzze-- I got sucked in a about two seconds. The piano is brilliant, and Shane-- you just give me chills. Today I listened to this, and broke into tears-- so much feeling and beauty. The lyrics are soooooooooo good-- what a marvelous songwriter you are, and what a dynamic team The Deep is!! Bravo! One more time now, for me to hear.... Love this, guys. Gina

So how long does it take to asertain how much class this song has? Oh about 5.2 seconds I would imagine. It hits you on the first few notes. Just pure class. Beautifuly written,aranged and performed. Shane,you just keep on getting on better mate. Staggeringly beautiful vocal/lyrics. "It makes me sad when yuo won't respond to me" Sigh.... What a line. Gorgeous guitar as well. This is about as good as it ever gets. Beautiful. Nigel.

Wow!!!Glorious performance...i love this song! Excellent vocal melodies,great overall sound,emotional gtr lead fill's...pure gold...5 stars! Gary C

Very beautiful ballad done so well. Always a treat to listen to your music.

well i'm a deep fan since mixpo.. love mike's guitars and shane's vocals.. and i been sayin the beat and music needs just fit the bill.. you sound good with the solo piano shane.. and so do you mike.. lovely obligato playing.. melodies as sweet as any vocal.. and as any guitar.. you 3 could go far..

Congrats Shane, Bill and Michael - you've created another beautiful and timeless ballad. Of course Bill's piano is so incredible, I especially enjoy his playing in the deeper range so much. Looking forward to hear the end version :-) Pascal

I liked this, dunno about the demo, sounds to good for that lol. Well done

Guys, you have knocked this one all the way out of the park. Music is beautiful, and Shane, you are sounding as great as ever. Excellent work, and this could become my favorite tune from The Deep ! Peace, Tsargoth

Amazing tune Shane. The piano sounds beautiful. Mix that in with some great vocals and fabulous lyrics and you have the ingredients for a fantastic song. Looking forward to a final!

ABOUT: THE WHISPER is one of the newest songs to come from us. We have joined hands with Bill Thompson again for this one. Bill Thompson is the composing artist and producer of the soundtrack we use in 'The Iceland'. In this new production, The whisper, the piano is composed and performed by Wolfy (we tagged Bill with the nickname Wolfy). The demo we've posted here is the forunner of a larger production. Wolfy has some great phases that unfold in the later half of the piano composition that we look forward to building on. The DEEP Piano: Bill Thompson Guitar: Michael Styron Lyrics, Vocals, and arrangement: Shane

I love your music. Always a pleasure to check out a new posting. Those vocals! Ah, yes!!! Just a demo, huh? Sounds great to me. Great, powerful, deep lyrics, too. I can feel theemotion in the way they are delivered. The guitar is just enough -- and works well with the piano and vocal. This is quality stuff. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful song on this Easter evening. Paul

Deep is the programm... I think, Inge's radio show (Serious-Music) is the reason that I know your band at all, Shane and Michael. - besides the shining performance of all instruments and Shane on the Mike, I especially love the suptle effect design and calm moments. I'm looking forward to get more into The Deep...

Ah the pic :) I remember buying this collection of vinyl albums... Can't recall their name,but they were split albums. You would get say Jimi Hendrix one side and the Who on the other,and the album cover was always the same,showing a little child smoking what looked like a joint,real photo,not a drawing... Anywas.... Waffling as always... Well I would recognise Shane's excellent vocals anywhere. He is IMHO one of the best singers on the WWW today. His voice is simply,so right on whatever he does. The musicanship on this track is first rate,as is the production. Top to bottom,drums,bass,guitars,synths.... Just all so in sync with the whole spirit of the piece. By all rights,thuis should be blasting out of mainstream airwaves,and on all the current music TV channels,and it is awefuly hard to accept that it is not. CLASS. Nigel.

another top-notch track...great job!

Man, this is good. fantastic production.

Very nice voice and of course good vox. A haunting rock tune here with great guitarworks.

Yep !! This is great!! production and performance is amazing! Great dynamic arrangement, a super clear mix. Great guitarwork from Michael and your vocals Shane! is better than ever. Great work guys. Most enjoyable listening. Christer

Great track. I love everything in it and enjoyed it. Keep it up!

When people ask me if IMusicScene is any good.... I send them to listen to yours and Chrickon's pages. - Just thought I'd tell ya that.... The picture for this one is out there man (g) Eh, you knew I'd love the song, I'll just quite jabberin' Well done guys.

No point in dissecting what I like about this. I like EVERYTHING about it.

Nothing but the best from a group that sets the bar hight. You guys always deliver in a big way. Great track ... plenty going on yet never over done.

man I love that guitar sound! nice solos. mix sounds great on this. this is going to find its way to my ipod. fantastic vocals as always.

Shane,it's great to hear a track with you and Michael.As expected ...SUPERB !!!.THE DEEP makes awesome music....always well performed and produced,with the fabric of intellegent,thoughtful compositions !!! Well done gentleman ...........!!!!! Larry T*****

Hey, now that's a neat track. Nice originallity. Lot's of things to keep people interested. Good melody, good performances, drums sound like DOD (which is just fine) Nice song. (I also liked beyond the veil) DG

Great song with a interesting arrangement!! Lot's of nice details in mix and rhytmic ideas. Amazing sounds in keys and gtrs...! Gary

Great production, content and performance by all. Really well done. Excellent work!

Great song from a super band. I much liked the arrangement and dynamics of the music with the vox. Great track, Guys!! Rob

Great sound and control on the vocals! I like the dynamics, from mellow to driven, in this track. Very full but with space to breath...bass and drums are working well together. Good guitar work popping in and out. I enjoyed the listen! Farrell

Hello there, I love this song, and I agree this is worthy of a record deal. Anyway the vocals are beautiful and a first class piece of writing.

The same excellence as "Don't wanna lose it"... Again,I struggle to understand how this music isn't signed. After a lifetime in music,I still have this belief in music,that it should and can triumph over business,and surely,any A&R man,would take a listen to the first 30 seconds (As they usualy do),and sign you guys up. But alas... Sigh... Staggering song guys,it just oozes class,it oozes emotion and screams for success to welcome it home. GREATLY enjoyed. Nigel.

Ditto what everyone else said. Everything sits really well in the mix. Nice and spacious. Also liked that it could've been done in 4/4 but it wasn't. Nice touch.

Great song!!!I like vocals and arrangement of this song...Overall production sounds really great!Gtr arrangement has good ideas...Nice rock ballad. Gary

This is Class, A job well done. This IMS has some great tallent on it, The Deep are in among the bset and they're English i believe.
