I've read the drummer was playing metal before, right? Anyways, I used distortion as synonym for saturation regarding the overall mix. By "almost physically offensive" I simply meant that it's very unpleasant to me. Lots of friends and colleagues go down that route, though, and we also have debates over it.
So... Slightly shifting gears, I present a new mix! I feel it is improved, really appreciate the talk that led me to where it is (hey, takka360, you didn't go unnoticed!). I hinted about my concern over the bass and kick drum, you guys pushed me forward.
For the bass I went bananas on the equaliser and used a overdrive (going for a busted speaker low level distortion) but in the end it didn't change quite like I was hoping for (the source must've been really toned down like you said). The bass drum was also redone from scratch, it earned some kick and more focused lows.
Hope you both endorse it! : )
And go have some quality sleep!
