some decent heavy riffage..but the recording quality was really poor that made it a major distraction to listen to. ..especially the 3rd song with something that kept coming in and out of the left channel.
this kind of music IMO seems to rely on having a good sound to it to kick some booty. With the gtrs being so midranged, the extraneious noise, non existant bass and weak drums, it really brought the level of things down quite a bit. Using minimum chord changes and long sustained power chords, you HAVE TO have a killer sound to keep the interest.
My first guess is really bad mic placement, then 2nd, not hearing what you are keeping "on tape" in the right perspective. I suspect that things may be kinda "loud" when playing, so coming up with a mix in headphones (which is a guess what you are doing) is going to be pretty tough to do. If you are multitracking then listening thru decent monitors and adjusting levels, then there are some other serious problems.
