Hi Alex nice to meet you I am Alex aha. First of all cool Metal track, I really liked the growled vocals! Let's get down to it I could hear a few issues with the high end on the lead guitars. Some of those could be a bit more cleaned up around 1mn15 but also throughout the song. The main issue is for me at the very beginning with the change of volume the automation is not brutal enough. You hear the volume going up like someone is turning it up. You could use a bit more EQ/saturation to achieve the classic radio effect at the begining and then take it off and BOOM. You have this punchy effect after intro that we like so much in metal :). The instruments are well spread across the spectrum but kicks and snare could be more fonted or vocals slightly wider to let the snare being heard better. Guitars are properly recorded and riffs sounds hella cool though! Keep it up !

Hey,
thanks for your feedback. I listened again and I think it's just a volume thing. I'll try it. I'm quite happy with the intro and I think the punch effect is there. But I'll try this a bit more extreme. I tried to turn it off at once but it doesn't sound good so I sweeped that in. Maybe it needs to be a bit faster.

hello, it sounds incredible it has a lot of power maybe I'll add some slight distortion to the bass to make it more dense and cause energy and the drums that sound on the sides a little parallel compression suits it very well
