nice scratchy sound, congratulations for the creativity

Its really hard for me to tell whats going on. You have this extremely low kick (I think) that can barely be heard, and a snare that seems to be all over the place. The riff in the middle is badass but so much is happening I can barely appreciate it. It's all so low it gets jumbled up.

Would have loved a little more development and wasn't the biggest fan of the drum sound, but the riff goes haaaard! Well done! 🤘

The rhythm is a little hard to track sometimes, not sure if that's intentional. I do love the "sludge metal" vibe though and this one definitely stands out from the others I've heard. Nice work!

The guitar and melody is awesome! Great work! 🤘

I really like the name of your entry it kind of encapsulates the vibe perfectly.

As it is right now I think its a little simplistic in terms of melody and grows stale since there isn't much changing throughout the track. 

Going for the hard difficulty is admirable and I respect it a lot but I think having the same notes forewords and backwards would hit the listener a lot harder if there was more identifiable notes that they could go "hey its just like earlier but backwards!"

though that's just my opinion. As it is now it still functions really well for the vibe you wanted and it still works as a palindrome so great job!
