who's who in hell sh4d0wgh0st mix

i've been learning mixing for about 2 months now and this is my first time working with vocals, any tips, advice or comments would be really helpful

My advice is to start with something that has less moving parts and requires less fixing. There're plenty of session on this site geared toward those who are new to mixing.

Kick drum is round and lacks a great deal of energy. Watch videos on youtube on how to eq Metal kick.
Your Tom sounds like a plastic 5 gal. bucket. not a good metal drum sound.

The bass guitar sounds pretty good but its the loudest thing in the mix atm.
There's no glue, meaning the interconnecting relationship of all the instruments playing in the same room together.

You have to use Eq and compression and selective time based effects to make this happen.

Instruments have their own fundamental frequency ranges and most of them crossover each other and that's why Eqing is important when mixing so that they don't mask each other.

If your computer is not powerful then that's another reason to start with something smaller.

Also you can use Auxiliary channels to send multiple signals to specific plugins to do most of the heavy lifting.

Mix the entire song and there will be more information to analyse.

Best.
