Contemplating (re-recorded)

Hi all you with good ears (and good listening equipment)
 
I have re-recorded this song that I posted a while ago, and now I think I'm finished with it, maybe you will think otherwise :-P
Any comments are welcome, have a nice weekend everybody!

    Oooh...  a bit of Dream Theatre nestled in there.  
     
    I liked it.  Vocals sound good, and of all the instrumentation is strong. 
     
    Mix-wise I thought the snare could be a bit "crisper" and maybe the kick just a hair bigger, but those are just nits.

    Very powerful.  I'm not a metal fan but this had me a bit intrigued. Impressive mixing, but I think the drums could come up just a bit.

    Thanks SteveC, glad you liked it. I had more crisp on the snare before this mix, but decided to bring it down little.

    The kick I have struggled with so that it didnt take over too much since the song is quite busy. But you can always tweak some more 😂 But I made up my mind and closed this song so I can make new songs.

    Thansk for the inputs, I will have them in mind for the next song.

    Thanks John, nice to hear that you found it interesting and intriguing (even though you aren't a metalhead)
