This is a composition I made in Guitar Pro and I'm honestly not sure what to think about it, mainly because I've spent so much time on it that it's hard for me to give it an objective listen. I would greatly appreciate some feedback to let me know whether there's any hope for it :).

Well it's intense for sure. Technically I would bring the drums up level wise..  Playing is very well executed..  With just bass, guitar, drums, it's imperative that each 'player' is a virtuoso. Which you are. Let us hear, how great the drummer really is.  

I think it's the bass, sounds like you have the bass strings ringing out?   Making for a mushiness..  Now this might be exactly what you intended, and 'death metal' lovers might totally love it too.  You might go back to the guitar sound used at the beginning, too, your choice. 

Your guitar work is brilliant, and it's got a fuzzed gutsy sound, but it is very clear what it is playing.  The Bass or low guitar strings ringing out creating discord of course is your decision as a composer/performer.  Loved the ending..  You might consider putting a complete stop in the piece once or twice more.

Hello markstyles! First off let me say that I"m really grateful you gave this a listen and a valuable insight.
It means a lot to me.

I've noted your observation about the volume of drums. I'll keep that in mind for the future. Also, although I appreciate you virtuoso comment,
I don't think there's anything that fancy going on considering the guitar and bass. I can't say the same thing about the drums, because
I've never played them in my life. The closest I got to that was by notating them in the software, so I wouldn't be too suprised if they turned out completely 
unplayable by an actual drummer :grin:.

I don't really mind the discord/mushiness stuff you've mentioned, since I'm mostly going for that metal/punk attitude, as you've 
probably noticed by now :grin:, but still I'm glad you've pointed that out.
If you'd like to know what instrument is doing what, I've attached the PDF files for every part.

Thanks again for all the points you've made and the words of approval, all of that made my day :grin:
