Some nice hard stuff here but needs a faster build up at the start but honestly this was pretty good

It Has Potential...

The intro is decent. I like where it goes and how it builds. It is a bit long though. Maybe trim the intro slightly.

The drums are decent in terms of what is written. Nothing overly technical or mind blowing, but they fit the song well. That being said, you need to work on your mic techniques if you recorded this live. If you are using midi drums with a sampling program we need to talk about your production techniques within your DAW.

The guitars are good and bad. I don't mind what is written, but all the same it's a bit boring for the most part. I personally would liven the guitars a bit with some more technical riffs. Having some leads soaring over what is already written would be nice. You sort of start doing that towards the end, but it would be nice to have the rhythm guitars in there with the leads soloing over top of them.

That being said, this whole track basically sounds like it was written for someone to write epic leads over. I can just see someone going crazy and soloing for nearly all track. It just has a good vibe for that.

One thing about the guitars. They sound distant. I'm guessing you put on some serious reverb on them to make this so. I would look at possibly changing that. But the guitar tones on the guitars sound great. I love the actual tones, its just that the guitars sound so distant.

4/5 and 8/10 overall. It's good, but not quite great yet.
