Just had a listen, very nice work. Reminds me a bit of Nerve Institute and a Canadian band called The Rebel Wheel. Atmospheric, especially in the vocal, but also plenty of rocking grooves and some pretty slick navigation of time signatures that gives the track a lot more depth and substance than a lot of ho-hum modern "Proggy" stuff. I agree, the guitar solo could be a extended a bit, but it's not a make or break issue. You have that little melody that comes in at the end of the solo before the vocals return, and that's cool too.
I can see why you'd want a full band and a singer, but honestly the way you handled the vocals here sounds great to me. If you can't find folks to work with, or a singer in particular, I'd encourage you to finish it yourself, it's definitely good enough; or will be with a bit more spit and polish.
Anyway, great work and welcome on board! Now I want to hear more, especially of the less "accessible/straightforward" stuff.
