Hey Thomas - Sounding good! I love how wide and spacious the mix is. The rhythm guitars in the first chorus sound really cool. The mix overall has nice frequency spread from low to high, with a great sense of "glossiness" in the top end.
A few things I noticed:
- I'm personally not too keen on the snare sound - it sounds a little over-processed and lacking in body for my taste
- The lead vocal ambience tends to put the vocals "behind" the guitars in the soundstage. I'd prefer them further forward in the mix - maybe with more pre-delay on the reverb.
- The "chimey" guitars in the later choruses tend to overwhelm proceedings. Keeping the balance more subtle there adds a really nice texture that "opens up" the overdriven guitars.
Good stuff!
