    Very cool man. I gave it a couple of listens actually.

    I think the guitars and drums sound pretty good mix-wise, definitely in the ball-park for the genre you’re working in.

    I wouldn’t have said the playing needed to be tighter (but maybe that’s because I don’t have the skill level to be able to play metal so it sounds great to me already). The only constructive criticism I would offer would be to maybe simplify some of the drum parts. For example, those opening riffs would sound really cool with a really simple slushy-hats quarter note ‘rock style’ drum beat and then going into the more busy metal style drums after that. I think that might make the whole track a bit more dynamic maybe? But really, who am I to comment on someone else’s music, so ignore me .

    Loved the bit with the (vocal?) pads and double-kicks at the end. Any plans to put some vocals to this? I think you have a cool sound, I’d definitely like to hear it again when you’ve finished it.

    Thank you very much, Jeremy. I appreciate everything you said very much !

    That is cool idea with the drums, I might try that

    I have no plans of adding vocals, but I definitely want to add some lead guitar. I’m thinking of the last part with the pads to be a part for a guitar solo maybe.

    Thanks again!

    Hi, cool tricky song! i really like the place where the slow synthy comes in.

    i prefer a drum sound with a bit more drums und a little less cymballs.
    especially the bass drums could be more present.

    Thank you very much , I appreciate your kind words!

    I think maybe in my mix the cymbals are too loud, especially the hi-hat.

    Hi man  … i liked your stuff … realy lively sounding  …
     
    how much guitar tracks have you recorded ??  anyway, your riffs are realy cool
     
    as you stated out yourself … the cymbals are a little too loud and maybe the bassdrum could need compression and/or limiter … but you are definitly on the right track

    Hey, Vielen Dank !
    I appreciate your kind words!
    It’s 4 guitar tracks, basically 2 differnet guitar parts (for most of the riffs) each doubled, I think my playing is not tight enough yet in some parts, though.
    I re-recorded everything last ngiht and tried to finish the arrangement/order of the riffs into a tune. When I have that mixed, I will post an update!
    Thnaks gain for listening and your comments.
