the loudness depends on the dynamic of your song. So you have to use compressors and limiters in your mix and master to reduce the dynamic (difference between the loud and quiet parts). So you are able to increase the loudness and also to get a more compact song
But don´t overdo it !
Loudness is not as important as the quality of your song !
If overcompressing is audible then it sounds horrible.
Better a good balanced mix instead of compressing the shit out of it only to join the loudness war nowadays.
But in metal you can compress a lot.
The skill is to compress but to archieve dynamics with different tricks at the same time
