Sounds fucking great! Nice drumsounds and the songs are cool too. Somehow reminds me of Deicide, except with more technical riffs. Guitar leads in song 4 have some Necrophagist influences.
Are you planning to post the songs with vocals later?
 
I really enjoyed this. The music is extremely well performed. The guitar sound is very cool as well. What are the guitars tuned to? (nice Schecter, btw!) What mic technique? Single? Double?

I'm just wondering if the mixes might be a little too scooped? I'm wondering how these sound out of a studio and on a home or car system. There's a lot of bottom end, might cause problems. But, I could be totally wrong! As long as it translates well, go for it!

As for drums, I'd love to hear a mix with no samples under them to see if the drummer can really deliver the goods. Call me old fashioned. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of those new Evans EC2 heads. I've tried them & find they kill a little too much of the "fun stuff" in a tom sound. Just personal preference.

Overall, some really great work. Very clean mixes, & well performed stuff. What more can you ask for?

I definitly like. Can't really say anything bad on awhile as it sounds to me like its all ready to be put to CD. Would like to hear the vocals because the riffs are pretty damn good. Might have to pick up the album when its done.
