Your vocal melodies have this muse vibe.
Also, no offence taken, I understand taste and I'm not a huge fan of Muse myself.
Like, the guitars get interrupted weirdly in my opinion and lack body, the bass is nice, in some parts it has more harmonics due to distortion and in some parts in doesn't. Check the transition on these parts 'cause it sounds odd when the bass gets distorted and when it gets back to normal.
And the kick disappears A LOT during the song. It has potential, I like the weird vocals.
You really only have to re-record everything more cleanly and tweak the mix.
Also, I kinda dislike when people on forums say shit without ever showing off their stuff on the matter.
I only have a 29 minutes EP in the genre of Metal. More towards Progressive Symphonic Metal (Like some songs from Muryoku P and Hungry Lights however not as dynamic as the latter)
So, yeah, since I don't have a particular track to show off I'll just link my EP to validate my opinions more.
I mean, I got a few metal tracks but I dislike them so they'll never see the day of light ahah.
Also, I have little to no experience mixing vocals in metal. The experience I have is because of the Vocaloid Covers I've done, so, I can't really say "Do this to make your vox sound heavy af" but, I will say, re-record the vocals primarly because at some points you tend to hit the...uh, how do I explain this without images...
So, let's pick a note.
A person's in tune when they hit said note., higher notes are easier to hit (Like falsetto and kids who can sing and women, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THAT IS but I've had so much experience in my life that lead me to such a conclusion, I really have no idea why so yeah) and once you hit like a lower note your pitch tends to rise hitting the "higher ceiling" of the note making it resonate weirdly "Example at 00:31 secs).
I was gonna say shit about eqing but you got that right so, yeah.
Also the ep's here, don't check it, really, just randomly listen to a few seconds jumping from song to song, Just to see wheter or not you can take my opinions seriously.
