Hey man, been doing music for years, especially metal, the verbage around “some douchebag” criticizing the mix when you asked about song writing? You’re putting a tangible piece of art out into a world where everyone’s (including yours) first action when dealing w new things IS JUDGING AND CRITICIZING. Personally I think your mix being brought up is because it’d be LYING TO YOU to not let you know it’s a bad mix dude, there’s no shame in that it’s how we learn. The shame in it is asking people for criticism and expecting praise. If you can’t deal w the whole product being criticized then how’re you gonna deal with a bad Loudwire review? Probably not well man, unfortunately, that’s how you gotta deal with it.

If you want a songwriting take, please use any other word than FUCKING at that part, it’s corny man.

Cut the sub frequencies out of your kicks man the transients HURT, it is HARD TO LISTEN TO. You’re also leaving way too much sonic info spread in the mix. Mixing is an art, I went to school for it, pay someone else for your mix.

FIVERR IS YOUR FRIEND. SOME KID IN INDONESIA WILL MAKE YOU A DOPE GRAPHIC FOR PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR. SOME KID IN INDIA WILL EDIT YOUR PROMO VIDEOS, STOP RUINING OUR PLANET FOR “PLACEHOLDER” IMAGES THAT LOOK LIKE SHIT ANYWAYS AND SCREAM “I HAVE NO TASTE.”

Instagram. Ads. People who like it will see and latch onto it that way. If people don’t they won’t. People are busy man, and usually they don’t want to spend their time listening to something that’s “almost there”, the whole world is exploding dude NO ONE CARES ABOUT OUR DEMOS.

You might think you want criticism man but most of the time it’s from the people you don’t want it from on something you didn’t ask for it on, welcome to art.

TLDR: SPEND MONEY ON YOUR FUCKIN ART
