Hey Kel!Lot's of adrenaline in this one for sure! My comments are that you really want to keep that hook interesting especially at the beginning. I found myself waiting for the change of pace which came a little too late IMO. I think this may hurt your chances of forwards, but that's just my sense of it. One suggestion would be to try out some BT style edits of your distortion hook at about the 20-25 second mark. The thing is that you are riding on the same motif pretty much from the get go.Once it gets to the breakdown section it does help the contrast, but that doesn't occur until about the 40 second mark.I like the noize blasts in the hook section towards the end of the song - those were unexpected and perked my ears up.Just a few thoughts, but otherwise I think the tune rocks!Best,Cisko

ah... I remember BT now yea! Used to listen to some of his stuff in the 90s... will definitely re-check out his works on the Fast & Furious soundtrack... Good to learn from the masters... though my definition of God would be Trent Reznor, heheh!-K

Def like the tempo and controlled chaos!!! The only thing is when the "real drums" come in at the almost punk style beat, I think the kick could come up a bit just to drive a little more. I always look forward to hearing your stuff cause of the way you utilize diff. noise in your songs like the electric static in this one. I am a huge Mr. Bungle fan and your stuff reminds me of that in parts.DO IT UP SOME MORE!!!
