The samples aren't the best, but the artist certainly knows how to track. There are some fairly cool parts.

BTW, the piano is the replacement for the vocals, not the lead guitar. :)

Listenning to this song is not a total waste of time, as some parts are very good. The ritm and bass are very good thoughout and sound convincing. However, the lead guitar is very poor (sounds lika a piano to me) and completely destroys the heavy metal feel to the song, perhaps causing some people to stop before getting to the best part of the song, which is really good.
At the middle of the song there is a short accoustic solo that is mellodically very good, but again the sample is a let down - It sounds like an harp rather than a guitar.
Then the electric guitar kicks in for what is the most spectacullar part of the song. Here the electric guitars sound as they should and the middle part of the song is really excellent.
The fast solo is also good, if perhaps the tremolo and glissando effects are slightly exaggerated.
Certainly good composing skills displayed. A shame the poor choice of some of the samples.
