Undoubtedly this will undergo revisions, as my ears were pretty shot by the end of day one.
As always, any feedback is appreciated.

Cheers mate,

the good:
- kick & bass & rhythm guitars fit together nicely
- nice guitar sound. Warm, punchy
- great panning
- the first half of the solo really shines! Rhythm guitars and bass are really pushin the song forward, but are not too present

the bad:
- to much delay on the vocals - they sound "disconnected" from the rest of the band
- they vocals also sound like they are "on top of the music". you should try to cut some frequencies from the guitars to let the vocals sit in the mix instead flying on top of it. or maybe they are just too loud
- did you automate the chorus to be a tad louder? right now everything has the same impact. you need to give the 2nd and third chorus more "weight", more impact. same goes for the screamopart at 1:23
- the second part of the solo is burried under the "Wooohoohohoho". I mean it's a guitar solo in a metal song - give it more space =)

I´m sorry that's all I can hear on my shitty headphones at the moment.

Yeah, I didn't do any automation passes because at the end of the first session I couldn't be bothered, haha. The revised mix that's inevitably coming will have it. Thanks for the feedback.

Nice mix. Lead Gtrs could come up a tad. Other than that it sounds good!
