RAHHHH!
Turns out I still like to dabble in heavy music.
Here's Lriders version of this KILLER
(This was originally his song I remixed it and then he challenged me to finish the song and see who could finish it better.)

(Also feel free to remix)
Thank you, but no I didn't make this. Found this on google, been so long I don't remember where I got it from. 😅
But when I saw it I was like "Yeah this is the one" lol.
First question: Did you mix this well? I mean, I'm no expert, but I'd say it's mixed fairly well. It certainly sounds way better in terms of quality and clarity than the original did. The tearout sections are cool, but they're a bit boring in terms of really good tearout. I just feel like there's usually more movement in the synths, but this is a really good start.
Also I'll see what more side chain does for this. I personally find this interesting so I might add some more stuff to it like more synths and drum patterns but I probably won't make a full track with this because I didn't really plan to and I don't have a clue what I'd do after what I've done lol.
Honestly this isn't even a song really, it was more of a challenge Lrider gave me. He said to add more (I originally remixed his idea) and then created this thing and then added on to it some more. I honestly don't listen to tearout so I had no clue what I was actually going for but I do know some deathstep because it's similar to dubstep just more aggressive and tearout is like a more aggressive deathstep Imo. I honestly don't know what good tearout because I don't really vibe with the genre.
there's some great youtube videos out there for how to do this, I can share a few that I have found useful, if you'd like. Just lmk! I hope this crit is helpful!
Overall, nice work, just needs a little more love, I think.
Also, more on question two, but I personally might try to make the mid-bass growl type sounds a little grittier, or with a bit more texture. Maybe mess around with a light amount of bitcrushing, or try running it thru a distortion set to max with the gain pulled back.
look up videos on saturation/compression. Learn how to saturate your kicks. Also look up how to parallel that kick (i think that's what it's called). split the kick, EQ one side, then merge them and glue them with compression
Third question: Does this slap? In my opinion, no. This does not slap. that snare is weak AF, it needs to SLAP dude. Like it really should punch right through the mix. Same with the kick. I can't be sure cuz I don't have time to open the draft, but you might wanna mono your basses if they aren't mono'd along with your kicks.
Also, it sounds like you might have a sidechain setup here, but it feels weak, maybe because the drums aren't punching through. it's not ducking the sidechain enough?
Did you make the cover? it looks 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
