@Harlot Hero, ITB is actually from our area. My old band used to play shows with Shawn's old band (look them up on YouTube - Dead Set, Destroyer) and I played with ITB like 3 or 4 times before they got signed. Good dudes. Thanks for the download!

Cheers for the crit on my mix man! Writing as I listen, the guitars are quite bassy IMO, would try and add some crunch so they sit more prominently in the mix. Love the mix other than that. the song is very much up my street too! Love the cleans and the screams. Guitars sounds pretty complex and interesting. My only crit would be to make the guitars higher in the mix, but other than that thought it was pretty solid!

Can't really comment much on the screams as that's not really my style, but they seemed more jarring in the beginning than later in the song... dont ask me how, but they blended more after the first chorus to my ears. Everyone in the band clearly has a lot of talent at their disposal, and good job on the writing of the instrumental parts! I'll be honest and say that a lot of this genre sounds the same to me, but i can't fault anything in this other than some screams so it must be good

the part around 3:00 is catchy as hell.

Nice heavy riffs also, they flowed pretty well together. the screamer sounds good and the singer has a really good voice.

I really like 3:45 also.

overall really good songwriting and technical skills.

This has never been my favourite genre in all honesty, but as it goes I quite like the song anyway. There's nothing pretentious about it, technically it's good and very tight, audible lyrics aren't silly like you sometimes get in post-hardcore, and the vocals have good conviction, good variation. I would perhaps have cut it down in length a little, personally, but it's not like it becomes a drag to listen to. I would however seriously re-think the bass sound you've gone for; that's the only thing that comes close to spoiling it. It overwhelms everything by sounding like a hand-dryer is being blown into the mic, for a lot of the time, which also obscures the different chords and thus the melody/overall tune. I'm sure your bassist is fine but I'd think about making his instrument sound much clearer and perhaps bringing its volume down in the mix.

Thanks for the feedback on my track by the way! Really appreciate it.

I am very late for this, been extremely busy, apologies chap.

I dislike screams by default, but the production quality for this is good and I know my shit when it comes to production. As the above guy said... bass... meh, but the rest of it sounds very good.

You've done a good job getting a nice stereo field.

Playing is very tight.

Nice.
