Quite excited! I recorded both these songs for my band, I played guitar and bass on one, just bass on the other. Programmed the drums myself, and my synth guy came over and did the synth.

80s? hahah which part is 80s style? Sorry, but of all the genres, nothing from the 80s pops in my mind.
Really? The intro of the first song (More than just special) is so 80's to me!

Doesn't sound 80s at all to me and I listen to a bunch of retro and nu-retro (made recently, but sounds like it pre-90s) stuff. No offense of course, but I get the feeling that the folks saying it sounds 80s haven't listened to much power/prog/black/symphonic/gothic metal. Synths have been in all kinds of heavy stuff for ages. Sounds much more like it's bridging the gap between prog and a straight forward heavy metal. Reminds me a lot of the Black Mages, who I totally love. Nice to hear some good stuff posted around this forum for a change .

And no offence taken. You'd be right for me at least that I haven't listened to a lot of "modern" metal. But I don't think that changes anything. The fact that a lot of other bands are inspired by retro sounds doesn't make it not retro
You can't just say "pre 90s" with keyboards...there are distinct sounds from distinct eras. Compare the links i posted earlier to these, the sounds are quite different:

You're right about that... Sorry!

Your recording sounds good. I got a vibe of Europe's "The Final Countdown" when the guitar came in (and I don't mean that in any negative way). I hope you post more of music for us to listen to.
My first recordings! Come check them out! 
For me, some of synth parts reminds 8-bit soundtracks.
