That's reeeally cool! I love the intro! I've stopped listening to this kind of music and vocals, but this is tight metalcore. Good job. I don't know, maybe the snare drum would sound a tad better if you made it a bit sharper? Changing the drum, sample, what you use?

good stuff.. agree with prev comment that a bit of crack in the snare would be better.. it has a "thwip" sound that sounds ok with single notes, but when its in a faster sequence or a snare roll... its not cutting right.
definately potent stuff, nice job

I like the "Alexisonfire" feeling going here. And again, really catchy production.
I don't know (it maybe just my laptop speakers, cause I'm not listening on my usual speakers), but sometimes the melody, punky vocal seemed a bit lost. As the song progressed, that vocal seemed better.

Wait, scratch that I just listened to this again, it sounds fine. Sorry

I like the panning of the drums. It sounds great.

Great job, Tom. Keep posting!

wow - this does sound really good, even on my shitty speakers here at work (usually I can never hear a kick drum ).
Good performance from the artists and yourself. Thumbs up!
Oh, +1 on the intro - it's cool as fuck!

After your other post I have come to expect a lot out of you. This one is really good to! The other one had thinner guitar sounds which where totally appropriate for the music. On this one with the bigger guitar sounds it started to jack your mix around a bit. You can hear the guitars breathing too much with the mastering compression and the bass disappears several times in the mix because the predominant frequencies are too low for home systems. Couple other notables this is where drum sampling comes up short for me at 2:36 you might as well have a drum machine with the snare fill. I find that the vox are just one the edge of having annoying sibilance. I am ragging on you about those last two points because I get accused of these problems to. You kicked my ass on your last post so I need something to complain about.

Cheers Nice job!

I like it alot. The guitars sound great to me as-is. A few polishes could be to bring the bass up a bit and add some saturation to the drums (mainly snare) so it smears on its loud hits. Great separation of everything, very clean!
