Canadian metal quality quandary

Bmenz · July 11th, 2012, 10:16 AM

I've been chipping away at an album for the better part of this year and could use some fresh ears. Here's a 3 minute clip, no vox, no leads, just drums/bass/rhythm guitar.

Obviously there'll be some changes once I add more elements, but wondering at this point if anything stands out to you folks that I should be addressing?

Thanks!

Raise the overheads slightly on the kit. The kick is getting really lost, so I'd have another look at that.

Trying to leave some room in the guitars for the bass to chunt around (I'm predominately a bass player so I'm biased in my writing). Proving to be difficult.

Anyone else got suggestions?
