Here's some more project info provided by the artist that you might find useful:
"Not the best, but one of the most representative tracks of mine. To be honest, I’m not sure if this is an Rock or Metal track, and I don’t care about it. This is a compilations of years of listening to a broad sprectum of heavy music (from Hard Rock to Death Metal), and I do believe Interlude is in a limbo between these two genres, but a bit more to the Metal side of things."

- General Guidelines:
- These tracks are LOUD! Be careful with gain staging with this track.
- Abuse compression on drum tracks, specially the kick and snare mics.
- Use drum samples to reinforce high end.
- BassDI track sometimes gets out of phase with BassAmp tracks, so careful using them together.
- Guitar tones are already pre-EQ’ed, so be careful taming high frequencies. Dymanic EQ is a excellent choice here.
- Metal songs are supposed to be LOUD, so try to use more clipping rather than limiting.
- These tracks are LOUD! Be careful with gain staging with this track.
