Hey there Houndface.

Well congrats on breaking your 808/bassdrop virginity!

So, here's my critique.
The number one rule of metal is to have an in your face kick and snare drum.
Because of you bass guitar, your whole mix is cloudy and swallowed up by it.
The lead guitars are a little loud. I think the vocals are loud as well.
The vocals should have reverb/delay but not identifiable reverb/delay. (this is metal bra)
Try gating your reverb/delay on the aux. this is good trick to get a big ambient sound but have it not be evident. I know the vocals are out of tune and to make them sound better is have more reverb but screw that because this is metalcore and metalcore likes it dry. (Im mostly referring to your clean vocal lines)

Regarding the bass drops.
1. bass drops should be purposeful, meaning they're a device to elicit drama and affect and not to be used at every downbeat. (despite what the bands version did)
2. Bass drops should be 50hz. and below because they are to be felt more than anything.
33. If you can't find a bass drop that complements your song then make one.

I think that is you fix you low end first and then address these other areas this mix will start to shape up.

I hope this was helpful, cheers.
