Metalhead glpers, would you be so kind as to listen to this epic song?

The main riff is too repetitive - kinda boring, especially for the beginning of a song. The other melodies are good, so why not come up with something a bit more atmospheric in the beginning - clean arpeggios maybe - and then ease into the main riff with the melodies behind it to make it more interesting.

Ok mikey, im giving it a listen. This better not suck.

After im done you want honesty or smoke up your ass?

I'll give it a gamble and green pin it - hopefully some good feedback OP.

I dig it, EM. Very good mastering in the recording. Sounds professional.

Is that a drum machine or is it the real deal? Was this with a band or are you playing all the tracks?

If that is actually you, you should probably scrub your real identity from that page. There are crazy people here.

Love the artwork.

No crazier than anywhere else.

Hi Mike
I have my own Black/melodic death metal band called Mortal Severance.

I write all the music/ instruments, and I have a few questions for you as I think I have some tips.

I like the guitar tones and melodys.
The riff does sound repetitive, but I assume it is meant to.

What influences this music, what sound or elements are you trying to capture?
What program do you use to mix the tracks?
Do you midi track your live tone e.g amp and pedals? Or do you use a digital interface and a digital guitar rig to get to your tone?
What drum program do you use to program the drums?

Thanks man.
Definitely don't be down about the lack of interest.
I like it, and I can offer tips on getting it heard!!

I seldom spam my music on here but I haven't been getting much response in other mediums (guitar/recording forums, facebook, etc). I'd like it if some of you would listen to this as I love making music but it seems so hard to get anyone to listen to the damn thing. Is it really just that bad and I am disillusioned with myself...? It doesn't feel that way but... oh well I'd just really appreciate some feedback before I record more songs.

Thank you.
