I would like to add some vocal work to it, but it will take a while of experimenting to figure out what sound/style would best suit it. The tune itself is lots of guitars with an over-the-top drum track. It's kind of retro industrial rock with more modern sounds, I guess.
It's very simple - but I like the varied guitar sounds. All done with Celmo's GAM.
Any ideas and criticisms most welcome

Well,
Something totally different from you again!
I like this.
The start seems to have that Aussie didgeridoo influence, followed by a pleasant Hank Marvin style guitar and then "wham" in comes the heavy metal.
This is just the job to silence my noisy neighbours

Suggestions?
The mood to me seems suitable for a horror movie somehow.
I think that some high string synth harmonies or even single held notes would complement some of the spaces and quieter moments.
A bit of gentle white noise here and there.
The middle guitar section seems a bit too long to me so that could be modified to build some tensions and then change the bridge to "fall" into the string quartet outro, as if what was going to happen has happened. Then repeat the string quartet riff to fade out.
Just my thoughts on initial hearing.
Clever track.

A horror movie track?

I enjoyed this "heavy electric mix" very much. The right track to wake up when you´ve slept to long like I today.
The sound at the end before the strings sounds like Nebukadneza flies through my room. The strings to the end gave the strange track a strange end.
Well done.

The guitar sounds are trully well achived, fantastic sounding guitars... Of course is you. Nevertheless, everytime we use the Celmo's GAM we have to agree it is one of the best plug'ins ever...

I have to agree when Neil says: "I think that some high string synth harmonies or even single held notes would complement some of the spaces and quieter moments." Exactly the same I think.

And the middle part, as well, it is slightly long.

Very nice end, despite the fact it is so different from the track itself, it matches it very well. Nevertheless, I would like very much that, when the section of strings rises up, you do could add up a deep similar bass, slightly distorted, so the general feeling doesn't go by the end. It is a matter of balance to me. It is like a livingroom which is almost all yellow, and cos the window has a bouch of red flowers, a little stop of red into the table, like a red apple, makes an incredible subtle but convincing difference.

Keep up the effort!

Thank you all very much for the feedback and suggestions.
I like the "high String" idea.
I will be coming back to this when I can sort out the vocal work - so leaving the extra long guitar bit in - but of course will get rid of it if I don't end up adding vocals.
Once again, thank you so much for taking the time to listen.

whoops - spelling mistakes and I forgot to mention that I also liked the idea of white noise and might take that a little bit further with some extra deadly distortion.

Good stuff, im really curious what you did when the guitars kick in, everything seems to rock a bit more, extra compression or something? nice tension and release effect, maybe the drums get a bit harder too.. if you can remember im curious.. thanks

Firstly, thanks for your comments and interest.

Basically I just doubled everything - guitars are mono tracks panned hard left, right and centre.
Drums - more splash and crash cymbals and some extra kicks.
I think that's all I did.

*EDIT*
I had a look at the Cubase arrangement, during the "rock out" section.
I have 8 guitar tracks (eeck) all panned and EQ'd slightly differently. (Rock out L + R; Mid Lead L + R and Low Lead centre + octave above lead centre plus 2x mono guitar drone tracks) Phew.

I have extra snare hits on a separate track, extra kicks in the last of every 4 bars and a doubled main drum track with added splash/china cymbals. Hmmm....

Nirvana inspired you hm?

Great guitars! Love the metal part. I would haver prefered the guitars to have been more shredded and gritty. But the way it is right now is also very clear and non intrusive.. has more of a musical sound to it than the shredded "screaming" type sound.

The "shredded" guitar sound is a BRILLIANT idea.
I'm still stuck regarding vocal ideas . . . so if anyone wants to turn this mess into a song, I'm open.
I still have the project on CD

Submarine - to me it probably sounds, kind of - but not quite, like bowie's "man who sold the world" - but Nirvana covered that too
