Sat down and this interesting monstrosity came out.
Its very textured and interesting to listen to, I think anyway.
This one is in Open G tuning and I used my Hagstrom Pat Smear for the Rhy and JP100D for the leads. Bass went to the Raiden IV this time around.
Let me know what you guys think.

I like it, especially the initial slow solo, reminded me of a lot of the guitar stuff Higher Octave records would release (maybe they still do?) Big and atmospheric stuff.
If I had one suggestion, it would be to bring the background guitar(? I think its a guitar anyway) a little higher in the mix. Not the rhythm, but there is some cool sounding stuff behind that, but I couldn't always hear it well, but what I did hear caught my attention and I wanted to hear more of it.

Took a close listen and couldn't figure out which part. The intro section definitely is intentional and the rest is supposed to be a haunting/dreamy thing didn't want it to much in your face. But let me know where....

It could be me hearing things that aren't there...wouldn't be the first time
I think we're talking about the atmospheric stuff near the beginning, but I honestly thought I heard it through more of the song.
Its likely just me; as I mentioned, my brain sometimes grabs onto parts for whatever reason, and I want to pull those in closer.
And of course, this is art, and I'm not here to judge it, and certainly not suggesting you change anything because of me lol.

Hehe all good. I’m always up for constructive criticism! I am glad the tune drew you in though. I kinda wanted it to do that.

That was epic! Loved the atmospheric soloing... I have no critique on the mix. I think it sounded just right.

Another great tune in need of a vocal track. We've got to find you a lyricist and vocalist!
