Sorry for that RX7 did not playback audio.
On that loudness part, the references I get in for pretty heavy Techno music is now also about -9 lufs and I think that says quit a lot about this song

No pain no gain haha. Incredible about the 3.6db adjustment. It is the loudest song that I came across for this year. You can definitely use this as a balance for your next song and try adjusting limiting just a little less. Your song will then sound a lot louder :). It really was my pleasure even though I moaned a lot. Thanks for the very in depth question

Thanks so much for the video I didn't expect that much and sorry for all the pain you had to go through :p. It was very helpful especially the trick about the layered chords. I'm usually not a huge fan of insanely loud track but in this case I really like it. I've always wondered how did they achieved and now my questions have been answered!! - PS: You clicked on the wrong video on youtube ( it is the short movie version of the song) it was the one below you had to click on and indeed the loudness was 3.6db ;-) Good to know we can check the loudness on youtube btw!
