So well done on a great bit of work especially on the drum sequencing, again, well done, please dont foget to check out my work :)

Fantasitc track, well presented, the only criticisms I would have lie with the vocals, they need to come up in the mix just slightly as does the rhythm guitars although I appreciate you've duel layered them and spread them equally left and right, I typically find when you pan hard right and left you loose the impact of an instrument in terms of dbFS so maybe raising them by 3dbFS (becomes twice as loud) you should find the guitars come back into focus, other then that I loved the track

Wow! Great material and cool presentation. Thanks for putting the lyrics up. I have got to learn how to synth drums. You've done a great job!
