Default Power Addiction - Metal/Post-Grunge Song

Hi all,

Working on a new song idea - critic is welcome. Lyrics and soundcloud link are below. The drums are EZ Drummer 2, DAW is Reaper, vocals are all by me, Guitar is a PRS copy played through a Zoom G3 with an ENGL amp sim, solo is a placeholder as I am not a solo guitarist. I plan to add a proper solo later. Bass is MIDI using Trilian.

Critic on the song and mix so far are most welcome:

JONATHAN LINTON – POWER ADDICTION
(Words by Jonathan Linton, Music by Jonathan Linton)

A little taste has gone to your head
Now your hunger can’t be fed
You’ve changed, everyone can see
All because of dependency

There’s no denying
No sense trying
You’re a victim of power addiction

Subdivision, acquisition
You’re obsessed with power addiction
Inquisition, demolition
Lost your soul to power addiction

The Prognosis is bleak and black
Once an asshole, there’s no going back
Like a drug, if you abuse
You’ll overdose on the power you use

There’s no denying
No sense trying
You’re a victim of power addiction

Subdivision, acquisition
You’re obsessed with power addiction
Inquisition, demolition
Lost your soul to power addiction

SOLO

Subdivision, acquisition
You’re obsessed with power addiction
Inquisition, demolition
Lost your soul to power addiction
Unforgiven, the attrition
You’ll burn in hell from power addiction

Very cool, nice riffs, like the chorus!

What Engl amp sim are you using for the guitars?

Thanks alot! By then way the solo is crap, I know. It is just a placeholder as I cannot solo - I recorded it to MIDI with a keyboard then used Shreddage 2 and Amplitube. I am trying to get a friend of mine to come and record a good solo.

It is called "Alien" in the Zoom G3 unit - pretty sure this means "Invader" as they do not use the same name.
