It's that kind of snare sample that i would use to beef up a brighter snare, but i wouldn't use it on it's own for this kind of music. I´m also really missing some space; the snare sounds way too dry. Try to add a brighter snare sample and a separate snare room reverb. If you have trigger and the slate platinum samples, add the room mic of snare 13 (and ONLY the room mic). Use EQ to cut the bottom and blend in until the snare sounds brighter. Maybe thats enough, maybe you have to add a brighter snare sample on top of that. Maybe you have to get rid of your old sample completely. Just do whatever the song needs.
As Shul said there is also a very strange resonance in your snare sample - sounds like "thuuuuump", but not in a good and thumpy way (aka 200-hz-beefy-thump), but more like a muddy 300-400ish thump.
the screams and clean guitars are totally not in the right place. Just imagine you are the leader of this band and the guy you have hired for mixing didn't bother to listen to your demo before he started mixing. I would be extremely pissed. That's why you should always use ref mixes and/or pre prod demos if the band provides them ... now back to mixing Gojira
