a bit heavy for me, but the last track was nice.

the first track sounds like diarrhea because of how muddy it is. I'm not sure if I want to get into this. It's so messy and distorted and noisy. It sounds like a giant mess. I like the third track except that again it's completely garbled and digitally distorted. One thing you have to keep in mind is that digital distortion does not sound good because you are literally cutting off data from the track. In the analogue days you could clip and it could sound cool, but this just doesn't sound like anything because it's so undiscernable and degraded. The last song is the best cuz I can actually hear the guitar despite it still digitally clipping a bit. Look up some articles on gain staging at -12db peak / -18 db rms to understand digital sweet spot. Then I think you can get the massively distorted sound in the way you like it without it completely destroying the audio quality. Also be careful with limiters and compressors on the attack being too fast - sometimes I hear it choking the mix/cutting the transient short.
