Hey maskedman72,
Listened to the track, i think the guitars are too agressive and loud in the mix. Snare needs to be more present and certain vocals too, like around 1.17. Other than that im not sure what else.. What equipment did you use?
Cheers

They remind me of Godlflesh, without the drum machine (gladly).

Sounds good to me dark, like it is. I'd agree about upping the snare track/making it poke out more, but it would take away from the darkness of the track, which really works.

I like the tune quite a bit! This kinda stuff doesn't need a "singer" and he ain't doing that scream nu-metal yowling bullshit, so it works for me.

Kind of sounds like a blankets been thrown over the whole mix. The mix needs more air.

I like the song alot. The band is on it and performance is great.

[maskedman72]

more air meaning more highs?
