Not bad! You should take scissors and cut the vocal track so that it fits better to the rhythm... And mix the vocals louder as they are pretty much hiding behind the instruments. The guitar is a bit shy as well. Lower the drums and bring out vocals and guitar more, then it's bueno!

Thank you. The vocals were the hard part, as they kept changing tempo (110 to 120 to 140 to 130 etc). It kept me on my toes. I try not to tamper with cutting the vocals up too much unless I have to.

As for the shy guitar, I didn't want them to be overpowered and I wanted the drums to be powerful and hard, but my main regret is the piano being shy. I had a nice little octave part during the "Everypony will gather round" part with some ambient bell cymbal flourishes.

My main goal here was to make it sound like a mix of System of a Down (The "No I do not love the groom" part) and Blind Guardian (One of the best fantasy metal bands alive), hence the wah part.

Thanks for the feedback though, man. I appreciate it.
