Thanks for posting this, dude! The song is pretty killer!

I'm not sure if you're interested in critiques at all, but I do think that maybe for the next release the drums should have a bit more of the lows and low kids cut out. It sounds a little muddy around there. Also, this isn't much of a mix critique, but the guitarist seems a little stiff on the rhythm tracks, unless that was intentional and just part of the phrasing of the riffs.
 
I was getting a huge Erra vibe from the track, so I tried to go for a Brian Hood-style aesthetic haha.



Edit:Holy shit! My ears/brain must have been fried when I uploaded that. There was no low end :lol:
I'll re-do it soon.

Thanks for uploading.
Great to see you back making music.
From an arrangement point of view, I think there is too much lead guitar which is fighting the vocals IMO.

Used ts808>6505>Recto cab>57 and m201>API>Apogee Ensemble TB
