-i don't know much about music so "grain of salt" feedback- Nice freestyle guitar and stuff as it sorta endurance long song and you keep mixing it up since its freestyle (doesn't stay the same rhythm throughout). 1 Drawback could be: since it is long and has no distinct rhythm - it doesn't have as much of a "catchy" vibe like a short catchy beat (example: like Pokemon - repeatable "can't get out of my head" in many parts of the game *lookin at u Lavendar Town theme*). But the nature of this is for an "epic" theme which it pulls off. Sorta like stage music in the background of a side scroller game.

The idea behind this song is solid and even though it seems to go nowhere sometimes, the ''epicness'' is present and it's certainly a great step towards an amazing song Some critique though: 1. Turn down the base drum(kick) and especially turn down the low frequencies a bit, for me it's too ''hard''. 2. Turn up the guitar at some points, intro for example. The drums dominate in that part of the song and I don't think that's what you want. 3. Turn down the keyboard a little bit. Even though I am a huge fan of loud keyboard plays, this is overwhelming. The guitar is and will always be, one of the most important things to rock/metal, so don't let the keyboard overwhelm the guitars. 4.(more of a tip actually) Go in the mixing process and really take your time mixing it. Play around with volumes, effects and frequencies and try stuff out, but keep in mind that there is a limit to everything. If you'd like help with mixing, I'm not the best for it, but I certainly have some experience in mixing. All of this is based on my opinion of course, so I'm not saying every point is the truth, just my opinion and views.

@dandanman I used to actually have a band centered around "Side scroller video game music" with the same keyboardist in that song. The material was solid but in the end sounded like it didn't really know what it's down to, almost like disfranchised pieces epic in their own right but unfitting in the grand scheme of things so we went for this "oriental" stuff. @Jason I know what you're saying, infact that's why I stuck the "demo" in the end to kinda notify people that this isn't the final product. Thanks for your feedback. Appreciate it.
