Not being a heavy metal aficionado (more alt/punk/blues rock) i think I've taken this as far as i can without some outside input.
I used Metallica's Death Magnetic as a reference, especially the track "That was just your Life". Probably not the right sub genre, but its all I had.
I used it to double check my overall tonality and frequency spectrum. It certainly helped me make sense of the drums....i aint used to anything so FAST....crazy kick drum...the drummer must be some sort of iron man!
Lots of decisions could have gone either way, namely snare and kick levels plus BGV levels (whooas at end of 1st guitar solo).

New Version - Mix_02 to address feedback......uploaded down below
Complete blow torch, rebuild and re-balance using new reference tracks (Killswitch Engage)......Don't bother listening to Mix_01...Go straight to Mix_02 on page 2

New Version - Mix_03. Slight mods to bottom end EQ
