Well Ive been listening to a lot of bands but Within the Ruins pops out pretty nicely now. I wrote this kinda with them in mind. The other guitarist helped out a little. I'm thinking of ways to organize them to flow a little better. It's kinda obvious which riffs stand out and which don't. Tell me which ones you guys like and what others you don't.
EDIT: SEE POST 7

Intro : Meh, I didn't really like it. It wasn't bad by any means, just not really my style.
A: Cool section. The quarter note into the half note bends (if that makes sense) were well placed. I often feel that quarter note bends are used wrong, but you placed them well.
B: Awesome lead, very "disjointed", which gave it a super techy feel.
C: Very nice riff, really groovy. My favorite riff of the bunch.
D: Nice sweeps, could be a cool interlude.
Intro riff again.
Last riff : Quite liked the rhythm. I assume this was meant as the beginning of a solo. If so I would definetily continue with it.

Intro: I'm not sure on the first few bars, but I quite like the ascending bit on bars 4-6. The rest of it... as the other guy said, yeah, not really my thing.
A: I'm not sure on section A either to be honest. I very much dislike all the bends, but I do like how it breaks on bar 16, works very well! I like the way the double bass works here as well.
B: As the guy before me said, yes, awesome broken up lead. I love the really basic rhythm here as well. The crashes towards the end also work, good job here.
C: Technical. I find it very nice. I love the really low sound of the seven string here.
D: I hate the little solo, which is a shame because the rhythm here is good. I found it much better with that solo muted out. Not a fan of the second half I like it alot after bar 62 though - those dark notes worked very well and I think what you've done with the fading lead is rather unique.
Crit mine?

Overall pretty cool song
intro was awesome, i liked how the rhythm changes and the harmoniezz
A: this was nice riff and it really fit into the song
B: didn't really like this part mostly because of the lead, i would change it so the lead guitar plays little different rhythm and (i know it guitar pro but still) put some reverb to it
C: this part shines with the seven string guitar I like it. It has that fast-paced feel for a lack of better words
D: solo sounds neat but it isn't that original im afraid. transition back to intro riff works
The outro could go on for a little further, it's one the best parts of the song imo.
I thought the lead had somekind of egyptian feel to it really nice.
Drums were kind of blank throughout the whole song, i would work on them, maybe throw some bigger drum fills here and there
