and for my summary
great stuff :D in my opinion, the distortion could have had a little more bass with less mid. it sounded awesome anyways, and you got the effect you wanted accross, plus the energy was awesome. i try to come up with ways to give metal a happier sound also sometimes, and this was a good example of how it can be done. nice style. :D also i would have loved to hear a solo using the same note progression as the main riff or the chorus riff (or both) maybe in some ascending/descending arpeggio form. other than that, great job :D
