I found the noise over the introduction to be a little to much, or is that your signature intro. Nice track the mix is nicely balanced here, some nice playing. Thanks for sharing.

Nice song! I liked the changes and overall arrangement, and the way you used the breakdown section. The mix seemed just a little heavy on the hi's/hi-mids here, but had great width.

John,
thanks for listening! For the guitars I just stayed on the theme trying to build up the intensity.
Xtra thanks for the compliment on the song. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Wookiee,
that reverse noise was meant to almost take over the intro until the song actually starts. I won't use this for all the songs I'll ever produce in the future, though ; )
Thanks a lot for your comment on the mix. It wasn't the easiest one to mix with all that crushing guitars, but I wanted it this way.
Best regards,
Daniel

Thanks Steve! Glad you you liked it. Yeah, it's a fine line between a dull and a bright mix...

Thanks Jude77 for listening and your kind comment! I guess I just keep writing and producing and put something out there every now and then just to know whenever someone want's to hear it it's there : )

Wow very cool song , music sounded great and your lead guitar playing sounded great along with great lyrics and vocals ! I could get into playing my drums to your song , are you using some type of drum software like Addictive drums ?
Anyway the whole song sounded great , its a winner for sure !

Really excellent tune, Daniel, and you put it all together quite well. IMO vocal could stand to come up a bit, but other than that... really well done.

J.S.,
Thanks for your positive feedback!:) ...Yeah, I basically used Toontrack midi with some additional editing of my own to carry the track, triggering the SSD4 Platinum drum sampler.
Phil,
Thank you very much, sir! Your comment is highly appreciated!
I've been checking on different speaker systems like my larger and smaller Yamaha monitors, a single mono Behritone, crappy Logitech computer speakers, earbuds, Sennheiser HD595's always making sure the main vox are there... but it gets really difficult to judge knowing that vocal take inside out. I probably would hear it even if it was muted :D :D

eph 221,
thanks for your comment on the lyrics ...and I'm still wondering...
Matt,
thanks for your feedback! If the feel came across alright I'm already happy : )
Andy,
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment on his track. Especially coming from someone who does such excellent music!
Bjorn,
Thanks a lot! I pull up a pro mix as a reference track every now and than to check if I'm not completely off. It's so important...but can be frustrating too.
Thanks again for listening and your kind comments, gentlemen!
Best regards,
Daniel
