Andy, the elements are there for some tight metal, but I am a Black Sabbath type metal fan in which the vocals are sung. That is why in my opinion the song opens up and songs really good once your vocalist sings (instead of the growling type of thing) the chorus part about 3/4 of the way through. His singing voice fits with the music excellently, while the growling thing (I guess that is a popular technique nowadays) makes it sound abrupt to me. I would prefer the drums more out front and with the snare metal chain things engaged. As I am listening I notice the guitar seems to overwhelm the other tracks, and this becomes a little noticable as a result of the repetition on the content. A little tweaking of the riffs as they go might add more interest.
Overall, excellent work.
