I thought it was a pretty good tune although not really my personal taste. Title fits the song and a bit of controversy is always a good thing. Keeps people on their toes.

I'm with Armistice with regards to the drums. Work on them a bit more with variations of velocity and timing and give them a more human feel.

:thumbs up:

Let's be sure we are sticking closely to the song and the mix in this thread; not the political side of it. We understand English is a second language for the OP and maybe the subtleties of the title are lost in translation and culture.

I'm not sure about some of the EQ choices...you've removed too much bass, it's missing warmth for me especially at 80-300Hz, the vocals are also quite nazaly sound, I'd work on trying to removing that in the mix itself. It's almost like the mix has holes in it, like your room must be producing way too much bass at 100-300Hz fooling you, check it against some commercial mixes and you'll hear what I am talking about.
 
I'm sorry for not answering everyone personally, but I want to say I greatly apprechiate the comments, and I will follow up on it. There has been several suggestions about my eqing so far, some of them have been contradicting I think, but I will certaintly look into everything and when my new and better mix is finished I'll post it here. With or without a new title/lyric! =)

PS: Keep it coming!
 
You'll get different pieces of advice here. Here's my piece of advice: try them out and see which ones work. You'll find after a while which people give the advice that you find the most useful the most often.
 
I should send Jesus a bill for all the sunblock I've had to buy over the years. He seems like a deadbeat, though.

I was wondering if this was going to be a hate rock song, a God song, or something else altogether. I don't care either way, I was just listening to the mix. To my untrained ears listening on shitty equipment, I thought it sounded pretty good. I prefer the vocal to be a little more buried, but you have a good voice, so it was still ok.
 
Thanks NotThatBright!

---------- Update ----------

I tried to make the bass more warm, less deep.
Also I made the vocals less nasal. And I skipped the aahs in the intro. Should I perhaps skip the chorusintro?
I reprogrammed the drums.
I've also added more warmth to the guitars and raised the volume on the background keys. (orchestra stuff)
