No, there is. Because it does.
OP, like others have said, the recording sounds like shit. Most towns will have a recording studio somewhere or at least someone with halfway decent equipment, it's worth laying down the money for it. That being said the song on your profile is boring and the vocals are awful. I would recommend getting some new material, maybe embrace the clean sections the songs have, the Youtube song you posted was better in every way really (apart from the vocalist losing steam halfway through). And get your guitarist to practice with a metronome. Sloppy playing with that much gain is a massive MASSIVE nono.
Nice drumming by the way. Unless you have a serious attachment to the band, you probably could do better (my 2 cents)
I don't hear anything black metal about that
You just sound like a bad hardcore band

also your drumming sucks get better before joining a band
My ears, they died. And not because of the screaming or anything, but because of how much the instruments were weird, fuzzy and annoying.
Just improve on sound quality, singing and originality.

Thank you!
I do in a way have an attachment, I wouldn't be probably as good at drums or music wise as good without knowing them, I gotta find away to convince our guitarist even our vox hates the new stuff

Also here is a part of one of our other songs that I added drums too (The guitar is probably gonna sound wayyy offtime and junk this is because We needed to rec tht song on guitar for our bassist to learn and he rec in a jiffy) Also there is no double bass in this rec so its probably gonna sound odd at one part of the song [url]http://soundcloud.com/chris_maynard007/in-spite-of-suffering-pretty[/url]
Also we name our songs according to how they sound (we named this pretty and we have a song called fastsong) but if we have actual names for them we just name em like this just for the band
Your guys's vocalist reminds me of one of my local favorite bands, Bears Among Men. What tuning are you guys in?
What I could hear was okay almost unacceptable but okay, make a better recording and perhaps I could give some feedback if I can actually hear what's going on.
Wait nevermind, your band beats mine by a long shot, you're not scenecore.
The singing kinda irked me, but that's more of a personal preference.
I liked where the song "pretty" was going, but the off timing kinda threw it off.

Nice Darkthrone logo ripoff.
Oh my god why aren't you recording with a metronome.

Shit's hard, especially when the music you play has multiple time changes

If possible, record the riffs separate then?
Clean up the recording a little, less white noise from the guitar. The singer needs to stop belching into the microphone too. Drum sounds good. a little sloppy timing wise, mostly during the beginning but I could be wrong. sounded like the tempo change messed someone up a little. Over good just needs to be cleaned up a little, even if your going for that dirty kind of sound.

There's a surprising number of bands which don't record to a click.
Those bands do have the advantage of being tight though so I do have to completely agree with you
Do you have the master tracks I can play with for a bit? Maybe I could mix them and see what the song would sound like in individual parts, and mix it better so that there's not so much treble.

I know exactly where your talking about, I don't like to point fingers but that was more on our guitatist's(wtf)? side
To whoever said it's hard with multiple time changes, you can set a click to be 1/1 at a constant tempo, even make tempo changes in the recorder itself (Cubase, Protools, Logic, whatever). It's not an excuse. I play in math-esque bands and that's how we do it. If your band isn't tight, don't even attempt to record without a metronome. The guitar is horribly off beat, and you must have noticed while recording. So what do you do? You retry. You don't leave shit that sucks.

Get an electronic based metronome and set it to change signatures and timings according to the song. I play in a prog metal band and we manage to record to click tracks with no problem.
The song wasn't really bad as such, it just wasn't good. Heaps of timing issues, bad tones on guitars, and it sounded really generic and sort of boring. There's potential though. Technically speaking the playing was pretty good, and the drums were very nicely played except for the timing issues. Didn't much like the vocals though. First of all you should try and get some recording done in a semi-professional studio, that sounded like it was recorded in a corrugated iron shed. Keep at it and you'll get better I'm sure
Heres another one of our songs it was done in a hurry so please excuse the timing issues also I lost my drum key that day so my snare isn't pretty.

it's much better without the singer

probably 10x better
I know it has been said, but the fuzz on that guitar :wtc:
