Wow you got a huge sound there . Sounds great . I like the fact you didn't bury the vocals in the mix , which is quite common . Just curious to what you used to record the guitars also if you remmember the amp .

Thanks Michael...
Guitars were Mesa Dual Rectifier, Marshall JCM 2000, VHT Pitbull, Vox Tonelab all mixed together. I have a 4 way splitter from Voddoo Labs.. its great! Use Les Pauls with Seymour Duncan Pickups,

Agreed. To -me- the sound is almost a perfect blend of power and clarity. Most songs like this get on my nerves---either unintelligible or wimpy.

Now the arrangement doesn't really kill me, but hey this ain't the music critic forum so I'll shut up.

Well done.

Great job man.
What did you use for vocal mic/mic-pre(s)?

Sounds very nice, like all of your work I have heard. And I like the song. Sticks in the head.

I like the dark feel of the song, but at the same time I think it is missing something in the highs. Maybe this is just the mp3 rolloff, but it feels like it could use more brightness from 6k up. Maybe a pinch more definition on the toms and snare, but almost the whole track could have just a little more sparkle.
