    Not my kind of music - but - for that genre - pretty nice.

    Love the vocal on this: sits perfectly in the pocket. Well done.

    The snare roll is lacking pocket and timing.

    I really thought this was a good song. Tighten up them drums and you got a winner.

    +1 to what James said. Drums have some timing issues. Most noticeable in the beginning. I would also like a bit more dynamics coming from them. This is among my favourite genres of music because of the dynamics. Great song.

    Great job on this!  The mix sounds really good to me.  The kick / bass / power guitar - very cohesive.  Nice tone on the guitars.  Vocals are really nice.  Excellent production!

    Not my usual listening genre, but i can tell what a great job you've done here.  i liked your vocals a lot and the powerful sound you get from the guitars is brilliant.

    Cool and interesting tune, and the best compliment I can give you on the vocal is to say that I would not even have attempted those moves .  Great job on this.

    Often, hard rock songs like this suffer from being over compressed, but not this one.  It has plenty of headroom and dynamics which help keep it from listener's fatigue.  I think you did a fine job of mixing and mastering this, as it sounds natural and not harsh.  Rock on!

    All the best,
    Lynn
