A MELODY!
....that is then ruined by the fact that for 90% of the song, it is simply a giant droning guitar riff that dissolves into noise. The production values in this song are at least decent by heavy metal standards, and there seems to be a hint of some rather epic guitar riffs in here, but they are painfully destroyed by the noise factor, until the song TOTALLY RANDOMLY turns into acoustic at about 3:00.... and 20 seconds later goes back into guitar riff madness.
The drums in this song are absolutely nonexistent, which I do not understand. The guitar is overpowering everything in the entire song. The drums should at least be side-chained with the guitar or _something_ to make them more then background noise.
I'd try to criticize the failed execution of what sounded like an attempt at a melody at 1:00, but at this point I'm not sure it would really matter. I do note that there are actual chord progressions in this song, which is impressive. The ideas near the 2 minute mark are at least promising but sadly are ruined because the guitar is completely out of whack with everything else. There seems ot be a song stuck somewhere under that endless guitar riff, but its been crushed by the endless noise and its impossible to make out.
