Hello, i posted an early version of this song on this site before but i have an almost complete mix and i want to know if it sounds good at all or if its too loud
i am going for a noise/experimental feel
but i cant tell if its overdone

Hey there, nice track. This song isn't my style, so you'll have to take everything I'm saying with a grain of salt. To me it sounds a little harsh overall--though it seems like that's probably what you're going for. but I might think of taming the upper mids a little. I thought the sound in the beginning was pretty brittle and could use a little less treble. The distortion definitely serves the track well, but I think you could also reduce it a bit and still have it serve it's purpose while adding to the song. It might be a good idea to turn down the volume of all of the tracks too so they're not hitting the master limiter so hard. It results in a bit a of a breathing feel whenever the kick comes in. Also, the compressor on the guitar is really amplifying the noise on the guitar whenever the guitar isn't playing. Obviously, noise is a big component of the song, though to my ears it's getting in the way when the guitar isn't playing and this could be a nice opportunity to create some space for the other elements.

The biggest thing for me is the snare drum needs to be louder if that's possible to do with how you recorded it.
