drums are muffled and it sounds like electrinic drum kit. Guitars are brutal, it's good !! I love metal and this song will be crazy if someone will play it alive with good equipment. Not bad, 7/10
 
I agree with the above comment. The mix is pretty bad. Very good work on the music and vox.
 
This could be so much better, I just wouldn' t know where to start.
I suggest you start again from scratch and remove all the mud. Guitars have too much gain. Drums sound terrible when they're audible. The voice is just a sound in the fog, no definition. Shame because the song isn't bad. Sorry if I come across too hard, but this way it's not even lo-fi.
 
I kind of like the huge guitar tone, but it overwhelms the mix. I can't really make anything else out. This would probably be a good mix to strip down to the basics, and see if you can get the basic message of the song across with less instrumentation.

It may just be me, but I think the guitar squeals in metal are way overdone. It just sounds cheesy to me.
 
That mix is a disaster in every way imaginable, and then, to top it off, you made it mega loud. :spank:

Something this bad makes me wonder what you're monitoring with that would lead you to believe that this might even be close to sounding good. I had to turn it off about 20 seconds in.
 
I like the guitar tone but the drums have no balls! Consider remixing. Turn down the guitars and turn up the drums. Perhaps add a compressor to the drum tracks to make them powerful. song has a lot of potential.
 
I couldn't get past 15 seconds....the deal breaker was the '67 fuzzbox Steve Stills lead. *shudder*
 
I'm generally put off by drum machines but this goes well beyond that. The drums are le bad.

Guitar tones, to my ear, are pretty good but the reverb is too noticable in places.
