Once again opinions needed here for this project. Its in mix stage and most black metal ive heard has very minimal low end so I tried to incoporate as much as I could without blowing it out. Fricken E tuned guitars are weak but I must do what I gotta do. Any help or guide would be great for I need to head back to the studio tommorow night and continue mixxing. THANKS GUYS!!!:headbang:

Not bad, ive heard MUCH worse in terms of BM, but maybee if you want more low end, you could try A-B to Immortal's Sons of Northern Darkness and try getting the kick and bass sounding a bit more like that. Of course a quick fix might just be to use the mix you have now and turn the kick and bass guitar up a bit.
Go with what you like, you definately havent "blown it out" just yet lol.
 
Thanks for the input I have sinced remixed that song with more low end on the bass and a click louder, the kicks came up a bit and added a few DB in the lows. Clean guitars panned wider and keys up a bit.

what all was used?

I used Tama starclassic kit, 5150 double tracked and a Mesa Mark4 double tracked, Bass pod, Api preamps tons of drum and room mics for the kit Logic 7 Pro and Mixed on a trident series 75 - 24x24x2. The only triggered sample is on the kick all other elements are real tones. I love the drum room mics the best.

i like the raw bm sound. the only thing i could think was the bass coming up.
