Hey again,
thank you guys so much for listening and sending your feedback! I will change the track and keep your tips in mind.
As for the chopped guitars, I recorded them in one piece and manually silenced the later half of the chord. It sounds really nasty in the beginning until 0:07, but as soon as the bass and kick drum and cymbals kick in, I felt some kind of relief while listening to it. Kind of liked the effect, so I kept it.
