i found it hilarious, clearly what the title was a reference to. so cliche and about the silliest topic ever. can't take it seriously at all. Shrekcore is a thing I guess.
I never expected to hear one of the most incredible deathcore songs I have ever heard in my life on a random YT click. I also never expected that song to be about Shrek. I need more of this person in my life ASAP.
The song by Goeffrey is actually pretty good. If you enjoy DSBM, you will like it. If you don't, you won't. It's just a DSBM thing to be repetitive and overly long. Although this could've made for a fun black metal instrumental if it's shorten to 3 minutes.
That death metal song at the end was awesome. I am not always super fond of that vocal style but damn the groovy instrumentation and heaviness was awesome. Surprised that song isn't on Spotify.
That bugs song was pretty cool. I liked the weird vibe! The death metal track was also pretty sweet. Had a similar vibe to Aborted, intense and modern but with atmosphere. I hope Sidney is doing OK.
Trey I am sure it drives you mad sometimes doing this competition but Ive been waiting all year for a new one of these compos . Love it, hilarious and sometimes inspiring . Great fun keep it going.
cause it wasnt a riff salad it was a song,well structured with variations and not random riffs or same repeating shit, edit : the mix was also really good.
@@rave6577 not even saying it was a bad song. The mix was good. The riffs were good, the chugs were fun. But it’s literally the same as 1000 other Lorna Shore or whatever songs and 100% gong worthy. EDIT: ps: I listen strictly to garden variety 90s rip-off death metal and I’m proud of it!
Another great video and submissions are good. Not a huge death core fan so the final song didn’t do it for me, but certainly sounded brutal. Looking forward to next week.
Well… was I wrong when I said it sounded cool? But you know, lol. That’s pretty much what I expected. 😆 But hey, it was fun Trey! Thanks for checking it out at least. (P.s. I don’t like the drums either, but hey, it’s what I got.)
You've got a better British accent than British people! I think it's great when they say "bruv" meaning brother. Maybe in your British rants you could use bruv. Okay bruv? I love how they say the letter h as "haitch", totally hard h. But when they say words that start with h, they drop the h sound. Ello, ow are ya? Blimey, oi ad to take arold to the ospital and I forgot the at on me ead! Translation, "damn, I had to take Harold to the hospital and I forgot the hat of my head"
Shrek ? Wash Rinse Repeat .. Wash Rinse Repeat Repeat Repeat . Repeat Repeat Repeat Repeat Repeat Wash Wash Wash RINSE RINSE RINSE. What are you saying to me ..... I can not understand... Bugzzzzzz has my vote !
Ngl, loved the last song. The most creative so far, never really heard something like that before. Could be better executed for sure, maybe a little better melodies or more straight to the point here and there, but I find the concept amazing! Hope Sydney's doing fine and GGs to all as well :)
Do people get notified when you've listened to their song? I'm not expecting to see mine on the UA-cams because I know you have a ton of songs to listen to. Just want to make sure I didn't fuck up the submission. Thanks!
Yo! Decent friend of Sydney here. Just here to let you know that, when it comes to that wellness check, they're doing great. Joke aside, they found the wellness joke hilarious.
Lol yeah, (I also know Sydney) they sent me this video with the comment "I got called eeyore infront of nearly 230,000 people" (I guess referencing the subscriber count of Gear Gods)
2nd week, and again there is massive discouragement for me to enter, cuz the one you liked the most was a black metal piece with blastbeats and cookie monster/Dani Filth vocals :D The chances of you liking my post-fusion/dark wave compositions seems.... minimal.
@@treyxaviermusic Problem is that good songwriting is a little subjective, even within the parameters of your brief and rules. To me, the cookie monster song was very formulaic and totally unengaging. Hence my comment that I doubt very strongly whether you would be interested in my music. Sure it has a top line, variation, 'fullness', adequate production and arrangement. But would it cut the mustard or simply be laughed at. Pretty high stakes, made to at least SEEM higher by your expressed preferences so far. Anyway, thanks for running the contest. I will keep watching to see what the overall trends are :)
@@imagesandwords4327 It's completely subjective. That's all there is to it, if there was an objective way to know if a song was good or not then there would be a simple formula and we'd all be rockstars. My only preference is for great songwriting, which could take any form. If you're looking for some kind of guarantee or something, you're not going to get that anywhere, from anyone.
@@treyxaviermusic It's just hard to make something sound original if everyone is using the same exact dozen of sounds. There are free DAWs that are a serious upgrade
Remember the contest is ongoing because the gong never sleeps, so you can still enter anytime, here: geargods.net/news/announcing-the-2022-songwriting-contest-rules-and-submission-form/
I'm too poor for the entry fee. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ua-cam.com/video/Cx32ZDkkt6Q/v-deo.html
If I only send my submission around the 26th/27th Oct is that too late? I don't see anything on the entry page about a cut-off date.
Pack it up everyone else, after Shrekcore it's all ogre for you
OGRELOAD LMAOOO
tbh, that song was so fuckin sick lol dude is a shredder .
Hahaha such a good pun
That Deathcore song was actually awesome! The one with the funny teeth face one
i found it hilarious, clearly what the title was a reference to. so cliche and about the silliest topic ever. can't take it seriously at all. Shrekcore is a thing I guess.
@@CreativeMindsAudio ogre packet slammers lol
Great stuff here yes
I'm reminded of ARCTIC CHONK - "SEAL OF FATE". If you like Shrekcore you'll love it!
You may wanna give Connor a raise this was hilarious! Also props for even linking and crediting the editor cause most music content creators don't :)
WE FUCKING MADE IT IN TBE THUMBNAIL BOIS LETS GO
LETS GOOOOOO
that song fucking ripped, hope you win
@@dungeonboy3270 him not gonging us is more than we could have asked for hahahaha thank you man
Your song.. I can't find it on Soundcloud!? What's it called. What's your band?
I would love to have a release of that song too! Its fucking GREAT.
That shrek song is an absolute ripper.
The submissions are good, but let’s be honest… Trey’s reactions and the captions that pop up are why we’re all here haha
This is the most sass I've seen out of you and I'm here for it. The accents, the snarky editing, the gong, I'm a fan
Entries to this contest are looking a step above last time definitely

I'm with you , Bugz was a cool vibe. Shrek sounded like evrry other song .
Ok. That green bean track set a standard.
I am happy to see the pain train keep rolling with the contest. The feel of these is more easily consumable than the Friday streams.
That death core song was bad ass! Holy shit. Haha
Trey I am sure it drives you mad sometimes doing this competition but Ive been waiting all year for a new one of these compos . Love it, hilarious and sometimes inspiring . Great fun keep it going.
That Shrek technical death metal track was gold.
That deserves a spot for the winner.
The song after the Shrek song definitely sounded unexpectedly System of a Down influenced (at least with the vocal harmonies).
“Oh great, some AI generated art”
Me: uh oh…
Your reactions are always spot on! Love the brutal honesty
Shrekcore is the superior core
I'm thinking the Orcs in Warhammer 40k.
*"Green is best!"*
That Shrekcore song is definitely a tough one to follow.
Shrek wins. Next!
dude you crack me up with these I love listening to the music and just whatever you have to say lol
I gotta get that ShrekCore song somehow man. Shit was absolutely magical.
#Shrekcore, who knew ?
ngl, I like the Bugzzz song ;D There's a certain wibe to it! Superchill mellow kinda getting stoned shit. I like it.
Surprisingly nice with that kids first song, I was expecting a slaughter lol. Good on ya
the shreck one kicked ass!
"The swamps we want to be in.. illegally." Shrek got me, great song, hits the face and the swamp!
4:44 the number of death btw.
Fellas, we found him. The Gingerbread Cookie Monster
Sydney lestor doesn't need a prs guitar, he needs a suicide prevention hotline number.
Damn, that was worth sticking around the whole video - gotta go find that death metal song to blast a few more times now 😂
"I can't take it anymore"...lol.
You and us both.
those are amazing prs guitar models
loved it , i got 3 so far
ahhhhh....shrek song was fucking sick.
Dude hates riff salads but blows his ranch dressing over deathcore
Missed opportunity to say I “bleu cheese”

@@treyxaviermusic GOLD

Check the ogre packet slammer out they go hard lol pure Shrek core they covered all star
Just looked them up, i think this Shrek core fella belongs to Ogre Packet Slammer
Another great video and submissions are good. Not a huge death core fan so the final song didn’t do it for me, but certainly sounded brutal. Looking forward to next week.
"I call this one conducting from the grave"
I understood that reference ;-).
I am ded. Holy shit that was hilarious. Got tears rolling down my face.
Please link the deathcore dudes page I absolutely need to have this song!!!!
I'm enjoying all the comedy today.
As a massive stoner, I'd be offended if someone put that for the sesh
I actually liked the instrumental
Sounds like goblins being squished
Yooo Shrekcore was fucking SICK
Death Metal with a sense of humour. Might catch on!
Need more roasty content like this mate. And your ad libs are hilarious. Did-Koala-Fied 😂😂 Maybe you just roasting Soundcloud stuff you are browsing?
First.
…to get the gong that is. Lol.
I'll gong your ex for you if it makes you feel better
I will say the last one by Sydney was odd but the clean vocals had a very SOAD sound. More Darren than Serj but it remained me of that.
Link the Shrek core song, please! I need to listen to it in its entirety.
Shrek song was brutal!!!🤘🤘
I'm glad I got to experience Slaughter to Shrekvail in my lifetime
11:40 I'm sure that's very similar to a Massive Attack base line.
SHRIMP NICK : 14:05
LEGEND IYKYK
Well… was I wrong when I said it sounded cool? But you know, lol. That’s pretty much what I expected. 😆 But hey, it was fun Trey! Thanks for checking it out at least. (P.s. I don’t like the drums either, but hey, it’s what I got.)
Awesome Show-- TRey ---what is your favorite body,neck and fb wood for guitars?
I like a roasted swamp ash body (because it's light af), a multi-piece maple/some dark wood neck, and a flame or birdseye maple fretboard
@@treyxaviermusic Thanks Trey!
Could you put up a track list with links?
Came for the roasts, stayed for the shrekening!
13:30 kind of bad how Internet has taught some kids bold and maybe shameless mess. Just upload any shot or garbage onto social media and Tik Tok
PLEASE Commit guy if you're reading this please make the Shrek song public I need to listen to it more often
Bugzzz is amazing
Damn I want that shrekcore song on my iTunes wtf 😂
just to use my new perks 😀

Look up tribal style guitar spray by Darren Green
Trey would gong my music in a second lmao
The first one reminded me to Jon Bon Jovi
Some of the instrumental ones would be actually decent with vocals. Good, dynamic vocals at least. lol
Shrek ? Wash Rinse Repeat .. Wash Rinse Repeat Repeat Repeat . Repeat Repeat Repeat Repeat Repeat Wash Wash Wash RINSE RINSE RINSE. What are you saying to me ..... I can not understand... Bugzzzzzz has my vote !
lol...the accents
Jesus Eeyore!! 😆😆😆
Oh another gong song!
BugCore
Dying whale noises was fun as hell
Holy fuck Shrekcore was incredible
Awww man that last one had a killer bass tone but the clean vocals combined did nothing for the song
Don't wanna sound rude but after hearing some of these tracks I think I might be safe to send you something as well... xD
11:00 is a rip off of Worms by Viagra Boys
It all ended with Shrekcore
Ngl, loved the last song. The most creative so far, never really heard something like that before. Could be better executed for sure, maybe a little better melodies or more straight to the point here and there, but I find the concept amazing!
Hope Sydney's doing fine and GGs to all as well :)
his voice was horrible fck.
Tre next time can you put links for the songs?
I hope Kenneth is hungry!
that's his secret, he's always hungry

fuck it, I'm submitting a song 😅
Good vid
Yo! Decent friend of Sydney here. Just here to let you know that, when it comes to that wellness check, they're doing great.
Joke aside, they found the wellness joke hilarious.
Good to hear!
Lol yeah, (I also know Sydney) they sent me this video with the comment "I got called eeyore infront of nearly 230,000 people" (I guess referencing the subscriber count of Gear Gods)
Dude sometimes you sound like the Scout from Team Fortress 2. Alright, see ya!
#Shrekcore
God WHY do people give their life story. Tre doesn't give a shit. It's about the song 😆😆
Completely disagree on the first song ! It was insane I loved it. Would definetly not skip it !
You lost your fiancée, you just learned the hard truth about women. They ONLY care about your money, and nothing else. AVOID, at all costs. AVOID.
2nd week, and again there is massive discouragement for me to enter, cuz the one you liked the most was a black metal piece with blastbeats and cookie monster/Dani Filth vocals :D
The chances of you liking my post-fusion/dark wave compositions seems.... minimal.
Did you hear the winner of the last contest? Genre and style are irrelevant, only good songwriting matters.
@@treyxaviermusic Problem is that good songwriting is a little subjective, even within the parameters of your brief and rules.
To me, the cookie monster song was very formulaic and totally unengaging.
Hence my comment that I doubt very strongly whether you would be interested in my music. Sure it has a top line, variation, 'fullness', adequate production and arrangement. But would it cut the mustard or simply be laughed at.
Pretty high stakes, made to at least SEEM higher by your expressed preferences so far.
Anyway, thanks for running the contest. I will keep watching to see what the overall trends are :)

@@treyxaviermusic No, absolutely not looking for any kind of guarantee.
There's a trailer for this?
it's my trailer, I live in it, don't judge my lifestyle
Why is the stock deathcore track full of copy/paste cliches considered a good song?
Am I the only one that feels like the guitars in many of the rock and metal songs in these contents aren't as tight as they should be?
This isn't a song... It's a Sandwich!!
PLEASE stop using stock garageband instruments omfg
I think if that’s what you’ve got to work with, if you’ve got imagination, you could make something awesome. But so far I haven’t heard it hahaha
