New rock/metal song and video... opinions?

[stopstartstall]

My band just got done editing a new music video for one of our latest songs, we recorded the song ourselves and filmed everything ourselves (our guitarist is doing a media degree at uni haha).

Looking for opinions on the mix as well as general stuff. Thanks!

Hmm yeah an MP3 is needed to comment on the mix, the video is shot ok but i dont like the whole black and white thing. Bit unessiscary for a video of a band in a room i'd have thought. Think the video would work a lot better if there were more shots actually from the front of the singer rather than the side. Song wise the tone seems to be ok but to be honeest for me, the melodic part isnt melodic enough and the heavy part is too fizzy and not heavy enough. Keep at it though.

umm..... why don't the cymbals move? to be honest it kinda ruined it for me.

Not the style of music I'm familiar with.... The video was cool - it's always great to see the band playing along with the music. The mix, though compressed by YouTube, actually came out not bad. Two things I thought while listening was the snare was a bit hot when the quiet parts played, and the scream vocals might have been a bit loud when they come in. I like the shaky video parts when you rocked out!
