Weird. For some reason, my browser can never stream any more than a few seconds of any of your songs. It downloads 3 seconds then claims to be done.
Oh well. wget it is.
The drums are really inconsistent volume-wise. One crash is a little too loud; the kick and snare are too quiet; one of the other cymbals sounds about the same as the kick and snare.
The vocal tone sounds cool. Though I like what you did with it in Deck the Halls a little better. I think you had a second vocalist going there?
The guitars are appropriately sludgy and brutal.
Is the song supposed to cut off abruptly at 3:12 or did my download get corrupted?

Heavy sounds. The death metal vocal I find it hard to listen to - it seems so lacking in melody, maybe that's the point. I like everything else. Mix is good - I'm picking you were going for loud

I turned the drums down for some strange reason 
I didn't really put to much into this one because it was more of an experiment knowing I could go back and correct things later. It's not a song that's written well either.
I kind of just threw some riffs together that I thought sounded cool, but basically did it fast and half-assed
I wanted to see if the harmonizer would improve the shittiest of Death Metal vocals. On Deck the Halls I was more hyped up and into it and so you have a much better performance. I think that's a huge difference.
It does just cut off at the end LOL
There are A LOT of tings I can do to make it sound better, but I think it just needs to be re-written and then more time spent recording it. Not sure I'll do much with it though to be honest.

I like the guitar tone and how brutally crushing everything sounds. Good track, but my criticism mostly is with the vocals and the drums.
I agree with VomitHatSteve that the drums sound a bit uneven. The basic patterns groove steadily with the rest of the track, but there are some fills that seem to suddenly pop up such as the one @0:28 of the track.
The vocals sound very muddy. I know it's death metal, but the quality doesn't seem to arise from the vocal style as much as from how it's recorded. Most of the death metal I love listening to (Edge of Sanity, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Death, Insomnium) can contain brutal growling yet not sound muddy at all.
Come to think of it, the guitar - even though I love the tone - can also come across sounding muddy in some parts (around halfway through the track)

Yes...kill everyone today.......!
First off, the guitar tone is great. I can't make the drums out properly, snare just sounds like a click and the parts which i can hear are out of time. The vocals really kill it though, even if I do like growling sometimes. But there is an audience for this style, so keep at it.

Look for my Death Metal Deck The Halls song guys, it's posted somewhere here in this forum. Like I said I just wanted to see if I could make some really crappy recorded vocals sound better with the vocal harmonizer.
To be honest, I could not get it to cut through no matter how much EQ I used. The harmonizer just made it very muddy and it's probably that the vocals weren't recorded well.
I've heard some albums that do sound really good and they use a vocal harmonizer throughout the whole album.
