Hi Bob-O!!!
I love this song! The guitars sound great as always and the solo sounded silky smooth. Great guitar work! The vocals are superb. I especially like the backup vocals and the effects on them going into the end of the song. The mix sounded perfect on my iPhone so I can imagine it sounds huge through the cans or some real speakers! With all I heard in this song, I believe it to be your best recording yet...not that the others aren't great.
Keep on rockin' Bob!

Hi Bob,  you must be working hard at the moment lots of new stuff, I am with Scott on this it has you stamped all over it. nice one

Another behemoth of a song Bob, that's a building-destroying riff you have there  Drums are working well on this one, none of that 'stickiness' that a couple of your other tracks have suffered from. For me, the pre-chorus riff is a touch loud at 0:50 and at the same point later on, drowning the vocal a bit there. Sounding good for a test mix though!

Hey, Scotty,
 
Big thanks, brother, I always look forward to and greatly appreciate your good input and observations on my stuff, and your sage advice and suggestions have really helped me with many problem mixes in the past!

Hey, Wook,
 
Thank you so much, my friend!
 
Yes, Sir, I'm pushing hard trying to pick out and touch up the last few songs for my third album coming out late next month, LOL, it's only two and a half years late!   I wish I had more time to work on my music, but I've been busy with my real work about 65+ hours a week, so I'm lucky to get a couple hours recording and mixing in, usually between 3 and 5 in the morning every couple weeks. 
 
Thanks again for always lending your excellent furry ears to my stuff, and all your great advice and support here on the forum, I'm truly grateful for all your good input, friendship and support!
 
Have a good one!
Bob

Hi, James,
 
How are you, my friend?  Hope you're doing great!
 
Thanks so much for giving this one a listen and for your very kind words and good observations!
 
I'm going to check out the sections you mentioned where the heavy guitars come back in during the pre-choruses, to see whether I should lower the distorted guitars or maybe just punch up the vocals a touch to compensate for the rhythm guitars' re-entry.  Great ears, James, those are the kind of little details that always sneak by me after hearing a song a zillion times!
 
Thanks again for all your great input, support and friendship, James, truly appreciated!
 
Best Wishes,
Bob

Hey Bob, how ya' doin'?  Another killer track you've put together there.  Loved it.

Your mixes always sound top notch.  Sounds great!!!!
 

Rockin' Bob!! How you doing man?
 
really great heavy stuff here Bob!  love those hard guitar riffs!  real head banger here!
 
mix sounds great on this one!  performances are too!

I'd just start the song at :21.  For me, that's when it gets powerfully good. The intro as you have it doesn't hook me, the drums aren't really playing along.
 
For some reason, I thought that after :21 the thing just slams. Really awesome rawk production skills!
 
thanks, I always look forward to your stuff.

this might be the heaviest song I've heard from you Bob.that main riff is awesome in the extreme.
the drum sound is good too, the kicks sound much meatier. there are still one or two little timing errors, especially when you transition from one part to another but definitely nowhere near the issues with the other tracks you've posted recently. vocals are of course great.
