Nice, could use some improvements

The first thing I'd change is the synth pad in the background- after a while of listening to that one chord, I have the slight feeling I might get a headache. Some flanger or phaser (slow frequency) might do the trick, as well as some panning-alteration. The riffs were nice, and yes, they were kinda Maiden-ey, I have to admit, but I liked them. The sound of the bass was cool, really thick 'n' juicy, the guitar was ok (which is the most a person can expect from synth guitars, sadly), and the drums were cool, especially the snare.

The change of pace in the mid of the song was a good choice, keeping it at the same beat from top to bottom would kill the song. As for the sound effects in that section, some panning might have done wonders here, too. The gunshot was ok, the last part too, but that machinegun was just a tad too bland without any volume and pan differences.

Also, you might want to consider reducing the volume of each instrument individually: this loudness creates a bit too much static at certain points of the song. Plus, the end-explosion (though serving a shock-factor of sorts) is still way too loud in comparison to the other instruments. Aim for "louder than the rest", not "as loud as it goes". Modify these things, and you've got a really nice piece here!

Not bad!

The guitar sounds you're using don't sound all that great with each other though :/
Great melodies and structure, and the percussion is really well done! :)

Keep it up dude!

Btw, since you mentioned it, my band is gonna be at www.battlepanda.newgrounds.com, check that page in the next couple weeks to hear us ;)

The hero is back!

strong percussion, just turn it up a lil. Solid guitar riffs and melodies. The back ground conflict made the song very unique. the climax wasn't bad, maybe add a crash at the top. lol, nice everything explodes in the end, cool fx. Nice work bro, definitely brings images of heroic struggles to my head :D. Will that hero ever die? i hope not. Keep me updated on your music bro. L8r

Excellent

It was missing a powerful release of energy. You had the massive guitar parts all locked up, but they didn't ever break through into a super-strong solo or anything. The gunshots were okay, but I think overall detracted heavily from the song; if you were going for a battle thing maybe cut down on the rest of the song's riffage. The overall vibe was too restrained.
It was good however, and mangaged to keep me entertained for 4 minutes and change.

Peace!
