did this for 2HTS it's my second track I wrote today. I may go ahead and write a 3rd one!!! :D
I do love this, I kind of want it to go harder. may step back from it for a bit and try and do some more at the end for a better build up and even more brutality. Hardcore techno kicks for sure. There are some things I want to change already but overall it's pretty fun piece. Oh yea it's in 7/8 time signature!

Nice crossover from trance into metal; those initial synth pads are really lush. For me, that bass tends to mask the 7/8 you're intending, though; it feels more like you've set up a mid tempo 6/8 swing, and the rhythm guitars don't really break away from that feel until the djenty section starts.
Plenty of power, for sure. But like Nadine says, the drums get too much (for my ears, at least) when the kick is running 32 (64?) times a bar. The drums get so fast that any definition evaporates; it just becomes an ugly buzzing noise, and you'd get exactly the same effect playing a sample of a jackhammer (which I wouldn't recommend.)

Kudos for making something sound good in 7/8. Interesting soundscape and rhythm. But I think the bassdrum on 32 (?) is a bit too much.

Nice mix between electronic and death / djent metal! I love those syncopated patterns !

Wow, super evocative… I was picturing a high speed chase of spaceships across the galaxy and then it turned metal/darker. Cool.

Yeah, I agree with your instincts - push it harder and rougher. You've come this far - smash it all the way!!
Digging the way you've layered several kits to create something new.
Is the kick pushing a bit too hard at the end - it's taking a bit of power from the other instruments?
(I struggle with mixing, and I know this is something I need to work on, too!!)
