I REALLY like this mix. BUT unfortunately, there are one or two places I feel it could definitely be improved.
1) There seems to be a lot of power in the guitars, which is good, but the guitars and bass definitely drown out the vocals and snare. The screams sound fine, but the snare lacks definition and clarity and the clean vocals get absolutely drowned. Overall tone is good, but the balance needs work.
2) I love how clanky the bass solo is, but it NEEDS mids to stand out. 400hz to 1k is WIDE open during the bass solo
3) The guitar solo immediately after the bass is EXTREMELY fizzy. It peaks 4k like nobodies business and as a result gets lost in the rhythm guitars. That lead guitar as a whole should have more mids and less screechy 4k.
Overall, it's a really good effort and there's parts I appreciate, like the power of the bass and rhythm guitars. I like the way you shaped them. They just command too much space!
