Need some opinions on this prog-metal sound

[DominikJW]

I recorded this song yesterday and I'm still not sure if it sounds good. It's called "Rectangle".

Everything's mixed using only-free software (Reaper+free plugs, mostly native). Guitars are PODxt/Wagner, drums - free samples.

i'm digging that guitar tone alot. In what way are you using wagner sharp with the pod xt?

I'd cut the cymbals down a bit...they seem to screams out "HEY I'M PROGRAMMED!! IM FAKE!!! FAKE I SAY!!!!" haha

I'm digging the electronic stuff with the song.... a few parts kind of reminds me of Sky Eats Airplane

Guitar sounds great. Cymbals too loud and perhaps snare could come up a tad.

Thanks guys! I uploaded new version along to your suggestions!

I blended two tracks, one with POD, second with Wagner on each side
