Nice driving energy on this one. This may be just personal taste, but something about the vocals didn't sit right. It's the same singer doubling his own vocal, right? As it's in a pretty low register,  I'm not sure that technique flatters this particular vocalist.
 
I use that technique on my stuff, but I'd like to hear your vocalist undoubled just to see if it improved things. That's a silly critique perhaps, but it's what I noticed the most. Most listeners will - not - care !!!
 
This song is mostly about that driving energy and it certainly has that for days. Cool stuff.
 
cheers,

finally listening on something better than laptop speakers...sounds really good in the main.
plus: guitar sound and playing
        the little electronic elements really work in both filling the sound and expanding the soundscape
       vocals - your tone is difficult to mix in as it competes with the guitars but you got it spot on
       bridge section-  good change-up (or rather down) of dynamics
minus: kick drum sounds a bit too thin for me, needs more of a thud
i'd like the final chorus to have more weight -maybe add a synth of some description?
 
but it's the usual DT goodness
 
people saying some Metallica vibe..???????????????????

Nice pulsating, pumping rocker with a nice twist in the middle - like the solo - good job!

I have to agree Mark, I don't get that at all.
 
For me, it's the usual comforting and unsettling blend that is Distant Towers...love it.

Just wrote a whole thing and the laptop somehow wiped it.  So, "weight of the words" been on my shoulders too many times after talking when I shouldn't.  Great line and the tune is very cool, as always.  A very nice treat after a long absence.  Thanks.

Very cool, kickass tune, guys.  Lots of drive behind this one... loved it.
