Great work! I love the composition. The jazzy breakdown in the middle is killer.
Rock/metal is hard to do without real guitars I find. Also, it’s hard to do without the right drum samples. It’s gotta sound hard and aggressive and you can’t really get that without the right tools and sounds. Maybe by using a lot more overdrive and saturation to squeeze out those harmonics??

For sure! So I do a lot of rock/metal so I use EZDrummer and a metal add-on pack. I think it was like 300-400 USD total, kind of pricy if you’re just dabbling.
For guitar samples I’ve not really been able to replace just real recordings and amp effects software (I use guitar rig and some other stuff)
but you can get some pretty heavy synths by just modulating them using distortion and saturation. Here’s one of my heavy synth tracks: https://calvinjee.bandcamp.com/track/temperature-limit-exceeded-encounter
