Death metal song (by 16 year old)

[disembowel]

Hey guys here's my song: http://soundcloud.com/pestilent-decay/b-side-1

So far it's instrumental because I don't feel too comfortable doing vocals yet. Anyways, please critique it's overall mix and song.

Thanks for taking the time to listen!

I have no idea what you used for drums, but my advice would be to try something else. They sound extremely robotic and VERY thin. Guitar tone is pretty muffled, I'm guessing it's an amp sim. Also, the lack of bass makes critiquing guitar tones near impossible.

Thanks for the feedback! What would you Reccomend for drums? And any other tips on how to improve?

Stuff like Slate samples, SD2, EZX Metal Machine would sound much better than what you have currently. Ermz wrote a very useful guide for working EQ into distorted guitars, maybe give it a read. Reference as much as you can.

Okay I'll check out those samples. Where can I find the eq write up?

I like the song itself and the playing, all you need is some better production quality

Okay so how would I de-muffle my guitar tone?

Those guitars sound pretty out of tune.

Like I said before, Ermz has a great post about EQing distorted guitars. There's a sticky in Production Tips with loads of info about everything.

With eachother? or in general?

You should make it bit clearer and drums are freaking machine.
For drums you should humanize much to sound more live.
