Here is Nameless Child. I am working on this song for the moment. Any suggestions and tips are welcome.
We have tried to make it sound kind of raw and sore with no overdubs except from vocals.

Mix sounds pretty solid on my playbacks. Balanced - everything sounds pretty clear and distinct. The drums have that super-compressed thing going on - which is not entirely my thing - but that's just a matter of preference. It does fit the big picture, I would say.
The triplet thing at 4:02 is a nice touch.
Nice job.

I agree about the drums. I actually thought the drums sounded great in the beginning when the rimclicks were going on....those sounded nice. Then when the snare came in, it almost sounded like a completely different drumset in a completely different room, the rimclicks sound artificially distinct from the the main snare hit. The ride cymbal sounds nice though....I get a feeling that there's maybe some buss compressor, and the ride and rimclicks are not loud enough to trigger it?

I thought things sounded pretty good. The drum compression didn't bother me. I liked the guitar sounds.
I thought the bass was a little rumbly. Maybe take the low end down just a bit.
Little vocal pitch issue around :44. A bit sharp. A few others later on. The stereo delay in the vocal in the outro was a cool touch.

Sounds okay - drums kind of works in the begining - to me don’t work at all after the first intro - they sound carved up and missing the mid range across the board - guitars are interesting - almost a Jimmy Page No Quarter vibe to it - bass is sloppy - definitely needs some attention as @TripleM noted - vocals are a personality unto themselves - I didn’t mind the slightly off tune drifts - you could clean them up - or maybe recut them - it ’s a decent song with potential.

Thanks for taking your time to listen and give very helpfull detailed comments.
I will look into the drum sound. There is actually no heavy compressing going on. There is a subtle compressor on the drum bus that reacts to the snare with about 2db of gain reduction. That`s it. There is also some bus automation that raises the volume of the drum bus with about 1,6 db as the ordinary snare hits kick in.
As for the rumbly and a bit sloppy bassguitar, we will re-record it.

I think it's fantastic. Along the lines of Black Sabbath and early Purple, is what this reminds me a bit of. 70's vibe for sure, for me.
I like the triplet part as well, but the part at 3:15 is really special. I probably would of done something similar on the guitar, to reinforce the cool descending pattern the bass is playing.
Enjoyed it.
