Excellent! That's a great rocking track Adam. Nice vid too, I like the 'ghost hand' when you're doing the harmony parts, neat touch. Lots of changes to keep the interest up, good stuff.

Hooh, it's hard to find the right words... and not only 'cos english is not my native language but because it is an excellent performance and a nicely built up structure for the song. I also liked the way you handled that guitar. You also seem to have a nice equipment. Absolutely well done. Mixing: since I have a lot to learn I don't want to "hand out advices".

Enjoyed it, well played! Except, a little repetitive, You might want to put in even more contrasting elements. What you have is great, though. The reason I say that is that the audiences today have VERY limited attention spans.

This is interesting though I never get this style. With the exception of the bass, it sounds great. I guess I never like bass players who just sound like the worst guitar player which is my only crit of this.
Well done!

well i think you have the guitar worked out (despite the weird Ibby/Strat neck thing) drums are the real weak link- programming is 3/4 ok but the sound itself is weak and amateurish. fix that and you're into B+ territory- not quite Sithu Aye or Plini but looking down on Rusty Cooley

Yeah, I liked that. Great melodic metal. The main melodies/riffs, though repeated, were really solid and a bit catchy IMO. I really loved those runs at 3:00 and 4:30, and then the solo at 5:30 (which seemed a bit more improvised?) was really cool. I think you should post more often.

Nice, solid, tight guitar work. Interesting riffs and change ups. And I love your humble video just hangin' in your studio, jamming in your chair. My criticism is mainly with the drums, as they are weak, low in the mix, and just not inviting me into this song at all. Metal without drums...is like Rock without roll.
I do like your guitar sound a lot, and your playing. Is that coming from that H&K behind you in the vid? I'm assuming you're mic'ing and not using a DI...

Enjoyed this a lot -- though I did notice that the drums could have had more presence in the mix. Your playing is very smooth and the harmony bits were so good. This sounded great in my headphones. I checked out some other videos of yours and liked them too.
An aside -- I watched your Brexit video -- I was (and am) go-go on Brexit -- I think the UK took a tremendous step in getting back their sovereignty from Brussels. I was pleasantly surprised that you, although a Remainer, are adamant that the Brexit vote should stand and that democracy prevail. Many from your side are not that fair.
Anyway, I look forward to hearing other things from you. !!
