Hard Rock/Metal Song

Hi, 
This is a new song I wrote.

I do intend to have vocals.......someday.
As always, any comments are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

    Not really my style, but the performances seem pretty solid.  Lots of flange and distortion.  The drums sound a bit weak/distant in the mix.  I'd be interested to hear it with some vocals, but songs like this are usually very challenging to sing well.

    Thanks man.
    Haha yea, I don't have any studio monitors but when I listened on head phones the flange seemed a bit much.
    Could definitely cut some EQ on the guitars as well. 
    I agree, the drums should be more "in your face". Getting rid of some guitar noise would probably help.
    Definitely want some vocals.  Vocals can really make or break a song.

    Hey, Eric,
     
    Very cool metal rocker with a nice thick wall of guitars, great guitar work and a punchy driving rhythm!
     
    Sounds really good, although, I think I agree with Walt about maybe beefing up the low end on drums a little bit and turning them up a dB or two.
     
    Excellent work, can't wait to hear the finished product!
     
    Have a good one!
    Bob

    Great tune! But requires more low end. Not just on the kick drum, but also the bass.
     
    Wish I could play like that....

    Very Much thanks to everyone for their time and comments.
    Will definitely take care of the low end.

    Drums up for sure and the bass. Awaiting the vocals, but nice performance thus far.

    Good tones and parts. Lead tone is too brittle though. Tasty playing.
