Musically this is very interesting. Mix-wise those drums sound like they're very far. Personally, I'd mix them louder with less 'verb and put some sidechain on the bass sourced from the kick drum.

If you have lyrics that you're really happy with, and you don't want to massage them into available syllables then my tip is to ignore the music's pre-conceived time signatures and modify stuff however the lyrics steer it. As long as the lyrics sing out in a natural way, the rest falls into place.

Hope to hear those vocals soon!

Damn. I really liked this. I also would love to hear the lyrics in this track. This industrial sound with the a vocal over top would be sick!

You again gave me a good thing to focus on. Thank you, learning experience has been way more fruitful with your guidance in comments. I plan to record vocals for week 9, will try your tips.

Thank you! I might revisit this sound because I'm really disappointed in myself - I also heard this one with vocals
