Is he saying, "Stop talking shit, Stop talking shit!"? ...and something like, "you're a fucking slut!"? If so, wow.

Yeah, they're not the most creative lyrics in the world. It's not my band, just a friends.

Ah.... ..... ....

Seriously though, I enjoyed the music...just not the vocals. I understand this is "hardcore," but I'm not into that harsh/high-pitched/screechy style of screaming, especially when it's overwhelmed with a bunch of pretentious controversial lyricism...it just sounds a bit poser-ish. The musicians that are backing the vocalist carry their weight well though...they sound good.

I'm at work...and my speakers don't really do the job, so, I'm of no help with your mix. But, from what I do hear, the guitars sound mean and evenly balanced. I can hear the kick which seems to cut through the mix well too...a plus for this genre. Your snare has a nice presence too. I'll give it another listen when I get home on the trusty monitors. Although, it sounds like you did more than a nice job capturing the performances.

Cheers,

Yeah, i'm not really into a lot of this stuff, but i needed some practice at it.
Cheers man, my only problem is mastering it until it's nice and loud, it's far too quiet :/

sounds very nice. instrument`soundwise very cool, the vokalist must work on his preformance i think. maybe try to relax a lite more, even if he is screaming.(it works for me anyway the rest of the band was very solid

its my first post here and I know my english is not the best
