du guh du guh du guh du guh du guh du guh du guh du guh badabada boom da da du guh du guh du guh du guh ling ling ling... dood, this is fucking nasty!! :) i prefer the staggered and rapid riffs to the more melodious parts, even though they sound epic... but those riffs remind of meshuggah!! you probably hear that a lot! there's a little breakdown part in the middle that sounded a little weird, though. but yeah, the rest is awesome. you know your metal, and it's good that you put in some theory in there, with unusual time signatures...anyway, i could go on and on...... I'm having a hard time picturing vocals on top of that though... I say leave it as it is. the whole thing sounded very proggy, and it's hard to put in a proper verse and chorus when the rhythm changes so much like that
