I like the track very much. super cool :-) vibe :-). Loved the drum sound in my cans.
I heard no distractions, but wonder how it would sound without the kick hit on upbeat to 1 after the guitar rythm riff sets in around 0:30.
I can imagine many types of scenes and situations in film where I think different parts of this could be used.

Hey GLA! Nice to meet you :)
This sounds great. You'll just have to find a listing to pitch to as is or with slight modification.
I think it sounds great though and you could release it or pitch it as an artist track also.
Great work!!!

Really nice.

Coupla corny lines – "quench my desire" being one. But over all, really good. I LOVE the production. It has power and pace with very little instrumentation – a skill that still eludes me. And I'd love to know how you got that vocal effect.

Constructive feedback, guys. That is inline with my expectations.

Nick, for the lead vocal, I run it through I use Guitar Rig (which is part of Native Instruments Komplete), with some distortion. Then to make sure it still has some high end life and excitement, I create a copy of that vocal track without the effects, cut out all of the EQ except the very high end and let that breathe. That way you get the body of the lower end distortion with the natural sounding high end.

Great song.

I really dig the vocals and totally agree with Nick about the sparse instrumentation. Very nice. No complaints or critique here.
