You should check stuff from Sick of it all, Biohazard or newer bands like The Ghost Inside or even Throwdown. The latest Ghost inside has a really dark guitar tone that sounds like a typical podfarm tone. You might get a similar tone with podfarm and the DI files for Ill Fate if thats what you are looking for.

anyway, your mix is missing clarity and air. hihat and cymbals are really low - i can barely hear them. the biggest problem is the guitar tone. Did you highpass the guitars? I don't like killing all midrange information from metal guitars but in this case it's too much low/midrange. maybe a wide cut at 300-400 hz with 5-6 db on both guitars would help. or is the bass causing this problem?
