Not bad. I've grown to not like this genre but I like what you guys are doing with it. Reminds me of Orange 9mm:

not personally my taste, but it isn't bad.

critiques:

>i don't have too many qualms about the guitar work itself, but it's the tone that's used. i don't really think the fx are quite, "right." it sounds too fuzzy and maybe not sharp or distorted enough. i guess the guitar just isn't cutting through enough for me for this genre.

i'd try lowering the tone, cranking the distortion, upping the level a bit, and maybe even add an overdrive in for either a clean boost, or even to add a bit of gain-y presence into the sound.

>i'd re-mix the song and change the perspective and bring certain things out more. it feels like everything is kind of, "inside," itself, as opposed to anything really standing out. vocals are never unheard, but it doesn't feel like they ever really, "rise," out of the mix. guitar never sticks out (especially not enough on the solo) enough in certain places. dynamic contrast in different parts at different times could really notably change this song for the better.

your drummer needs to work on his double bass tightness, other than that pretty good, or what i heard in the first 20 seconds of the video
