WIP Industrial tune. How's it coming?

[STAT1STICK]

I'm working on a new collab project with a vocalist from a Facebook group I'm in. I've just sent him the track to record vocals for. I'm just curious about your thoughts on the vibe, the mix, and the production. As I said in the title, this is an industrial tune that somewhat blends the styles of Static-X and Orgy. I'll provide a SoundCloud link and a Google Drive link to the original WAV.

The drums are a little powerless.
After that drop off at the beginning, I was expecting it to crash in and melt my face, but everything is kinda washed out.
It would help to change up the drum pattern too. It's pretty repetitive.

Hi -

Tried the Google Drive link so I could have a proper link. It's access restricted. Have requested.

Agree that the drums could use some more power. Need to feel like there's an equivalent amount of power being pushed there. Bass and guitars have it, kick and snare seem a little weak by comparison. Towards the end, those elements are over-powering the higher lines - may be what you're going for, but could work better with a little EQ hole carved for them.

Thanks for the listen.
