A lot of things been already said about your song :

- An excellent song
- with great synth sounds and production
- the vocals are truly a killer

But :
- the mix have some defaults like the overall impression of sound compression : a lack of dynamic and sonic nuances
- vocals definitively needs to be higher in the mix
- no need of the auto tune on vocals for my traditional rock / blues / folk / jazz / world / funk tastes

For me, adding a solo guitar line with a bass could be a good thing

This song is really a killer : sure that the re mix you are going to do on it will transcend it!!!

I`m not going to criticize the production or the music because it`s all different art in itself and with creativeness comes
different taste all around. And  i don`t know if you are just learning.

I do have to agree with most the same comments though. The snare is the focal sound i hear. The vocals and guitars i cannot make out. In fact, is he singing English? (not that there is anything wrong with it if he isn`t) it`s just i honestly can`t tell or are they death metal vocals and supposed to?

The song seems like metal and in metal i need to hear those guitars. Distortion guitars are very hard to mix sometimes in my experience. Sometimes you don`t need to EQ them and i never compress the stand out track. If i layer i`ll compress one underneath.

Like Steelguitar says, I think it could be a killer song. I found with metal songs, the mix is quite tricky so i`ll mix as close as possible and then take a break and let my ears rest and mix the next day. You`ll hear it different the next day. Trust me you`ll find that  a helpful hint.

Keep rockin in the free world!!

Not sure about the previous snare & auto tune comment. Sounds like someone's got an axe to grind!

I do agree that the vocals could be upped a bit, but then again that could be the feel you're after.
Nice synths & production. What do you use?

Pretty much everything is done in FL Studio. The synths are mostly reFX Vanguard plugins.

I agree with previous comments about the vocal & snare. There is a truly anthemic song in here bursting to get out, but the production isn't serving the song - let's hear those chunky guitars and powerful vocals!
