sounds good man.
How did you record this? did you mic up the amps and drum kit and record live?
I set up 4 SM57 on the kit. 1 on the bass drum, one on the snare, and then one on the left side to pick up the floor toms and crashes on that side, and then one on the right to pick up the toms and hi hats. Recorded the rest at my house. I put a 57 on a cab in the closet for the guitars, and recorded the bass direct.

Now I'm not saying grown ups can't make up their own mind about chorus but it's a bit of a funny proposition around here. People are very very very self conscious about their possibly sounding remotely 'grunge'. That's like a dirty word around here now. You especially don't EVER want to sound like Nirvana. So chorus is just plain O-U-T out. Which is retarded as fuck. Music is art and art should be free. I mean having freedom, not no monetary value. So anyhow, I recently received the entire line of Mr Black pedals. The ones I was specifically after were AMAZING. But the secret sleeper of the whole deal was that Double Chorus. It's great fun and sounds real good. So my buddy who is one of the self conscious, deathly afraid to be viewed as unhip by the local hipster intelligentsia type hipsters, says on the phone that he wants to try 'em all out. Especially the phaser (which is just fucking filthy btw). I tell him that yeah the phaser is fucking sweet but the real hidden gem is that chorus... dead air. Then we go up to my practice space and as he's hooking up I reiterate how nice the chorus is. He again says nothing. So he spends the next hour diligently playing all these pedals. Except the chorus. Wouldn't even touch the chorus. I'm 100% certain that chorus is just not allowed in his mind and I'm 100% certain that 90s Grunge Fear Syndrome is to blame. That is fucking sad. Trying to specifically avoid a thing is almost exactly the same level of cliche as trying to specifically copycat a thing.
Anyways, here's some videos. The first one is the main thing I originally wanted from Mr Black.

That shit is heavy duty bro! I like.
I love the chorus sounds on Nirvana records. I've always love chorus, I was just messing around about getting shunned because most of the guys in here favor a phaser instead. I think if it fits (this goes for any effect) a certain part in the song then thats what you should use. Those videos seem cool. I really like the Double Chorus. And thanks for the kind words on my tune.

Also, Ape Blaster sounds shit hot.
I agree with every bit of this.
