So here comes something totally different again - I have never done a metal song and tried that out but without my friend Ola on the leadguitarr it hadn't worked out as it now did (according to circumstances) and that Im no hard rocker at all. I hope some one will find that its a little bit to the metallic genre. I just hope you like it somewhat and give me mix tips even on this but please don't talk Metallicka which I probably don't understand. http://soundcloud.com/egon1/badboysmadgirls42 The best Eko

 eko I'll tell you what I heard mixwise. The vocals don't seem forward enough in the mix. The guitar that plays under the lead part seems to be panned more left than right and seems to need some more punch. I picture a wall of sound underneath the lead guitar . I think with the reverb tails on the second guitar the sound isn't coming across as tight but comes across more as flowing into the other sounds and this gives the impression of it not being as defined as it could be.

 The song itself is great and has a lot of potential, you guys are definitly talented players and singers.

eko, as Starise says, this is a great song with some clever lyrics.  This sounds very close to being a great mix.  You may have heard me say this before, but I hear very little panning, resulting in a narrow mix.  I kind of wish that people would put some headphones on and listen to "Electric Ladyland" for a seminar in stereo panning.  Hendrix used the full 180 degrees of the stereo spectrum to great effect.  Perhaps if you spread the guitars left and right it will provide the definition that Starise mentioned.  Also, because I like the words, boost the vocals and spread them a bit for greater clarity.  I think this could be a success with a few tweaks which shouldn't take long.

cool Eko. i like the song and the playing is really good.
My only problem is the lack of drums - they are almost non existent

Cool tune.... 

My nits are..... not enough bass for the genre... The drums are a bit back in the mix and... for some reason the vox don't seem to set into the mix as well as they should. 

Good playing on the instruments.... work out the nits and you got something to be proud of.

Listened, but don't have anything to say at this moment. The others have already said some helpful things, that I agree on.
