great rocky tune. there are very nice guitar samples, but it's technically not too advanced. and it gets a bit boring after some time. but still very nice ;)

Well, we have a pretty cool metal piece here. First of all - I definitely like the riff. In fact, it is not really tracked, just played and recorded from the guitar, but how actually are you supposed to track a guitar? It just has to be played if you want it to sound good, so it's OK. As regards the solos, they are fine, but sometimes too loud (e.g. around 2:00) - that sounds pretty bad when you listen to it very loud, and this is the genre to listen to loud, isn't it? I also think that this tune lack at least one faster solo; the entire song is rather lively so I guess it would fit here. Perhaps it is not necessary, however it would make the song more interesting. Oh, it is interesting, anyway! :] Generally, this piece is good, very good, superb. If you like metal, you will enjoy the song. I do. I always pick on artists because of instrument volumes. :) I have already mentioned the solo guitar; what I would like to add is the crash cymbal - again, when playing the song loudly, it hits the ears quite strongly. The samples quality is good, Most of them 8bit, but they sound completely satisfactory (maybe except the solo guitar samples - these are not perfect).
