Hi all!

I just wrapped this up tonight and would love some feedback:

I totally liked it. A few things, obviously the hi-hats, are just raging throughout the entire track and that's okay, but theirr just a bit too prominent. I'd go with a different kick. The entire song sounds so far away. Bring it closer. Open it up. But yea'er I like it. The melody, the epicness is just overflowing. Great work.

Okay, so IMMEDIATELY the first things I noticed were I can't stand the kick, clap OR high hat sample, lol.

The high hats were seriously almost literally making me bleed from the ears. Wayyyyyyyyy too sharp.

The progression is nice, interesting enough. Some good ideas there.

Okay is there a reason for the cymbal reverse into sine-wave-pitched-down-impact thing every 2 seconds? It's VERY repetitive and fatiguing.

The mixdown is super off and your kick disappears for most of the track

The track has some good ideas but there are very glaring flaws that need some work. It almost sounds like you weren't mixing with monitors/monitor headphones, were you using earbuds or something?

Thanks for the feedback!

I made some significantly changes to the track and would appreciate some additional thoughts on it:
