This one seemed to fit with a Children of Bodem late 90's Death Metal sound, Obnoxiously clicky kick...Check, bass low in the mix...check, Scooped guitars...Check, Bright cymbals and smashed master...check! This is rough but I did automate the guitars around the vocals and sample replace all the shells on the kit and smash it a bit 
. I'm also half tempted to upload a William Murderface bass version (if you watch Metalocalyse you'll get the reference) of the mix for a laugh, but that's for later.
Cheers,
Doug
Update: I went back and reworked the mix with a more "modern" approach, the kick was getting a little bit too obnoxious and I was missing the low end of the bass in the mix. The guitar tones are switched up abit to fit the rest of the changes, the new version is mastered abit softer as well so it should be less harsh on the ears when cranked up!
Update 2: I did a remix from scratch, this time I went completely with my gut and no reference mix, the master is also is not as pushed and for now has no automation on it. Really mastering was just driving the mix into a limiter and a small bit of multiband compression.

Mixing is way more art and soul than science. We don’t really know what we’re doing. We do it because we love music! It’s the love of music first. Eddie Kramer
