In this genre of music, the sound of chaos is the key.. headbang until fainting
Chaos is key to the Deathcore sound in a big way, the thing here is that this just sound brittle and does't have the bottom end to make you headbang. As an example of what I'm talking about listen to this mix from a band in the genre: https://youtu.be/84MlPRwF15Q?t=55s. Note how the mix sounds chaotic and brutal yet it doesn't have that nasty brittleness to it, and makes it less fatiguing to listen to overall.
I notice you use the NLS SSL emulation alot on your mixes, I'e also got NLS and tend to stay clear of that emulation because the saturation always adds a brittleness to mixes that the other models don't. I'd say that's the cause of the clipping sound that Shul is talking about, try using the Nevo Master Section as you can drive it harder without the mix becoming clipped sounding. also adding some low end to the kick would improve the sound of the low end of your mix.

Mixing is way more art and soul than science. We don’t really know what we’re doing. We do it because we love music! It’s the love of music first. Eddie Kramer
