Looking for critiques please!

First thing that comes to mind is to narrow the stereofield on the drums and widen it on guitars. Right now it sounds like the drummer is running his legs of to hit his crashes and rides on either sides of the stage.
And the bass is a bit blurry/rumbling/lacking definition to me, but that could be my ears.
But that's it complaint-wise.

Cheers man!

I've sorted the stereo field issue on the cymbals ( I think )
I'm still not sure exactly what's causing the weirdness in the low-end, although I actually enjoy it, I do agree it needs to be tightened up a bit.

Bump.

would love to have a good mixing this myself if you would be willing to upload the tracks?

sounds good so far, any plan for vocals?

It like it
I'm not a big fan of that drumbeat, i think it kind of get's old after a while
Maybe try switching it up between that and a blastbeat?

H-H-H-H                H-H-H-H
-S-S-S-S               -S-S-S-S
-K-K-K-K               K-K-K-K

I don't know shit about black metal though

chuggg: I might upload something a little later. No plan for vocals, feel free to do your own though!

I actually lifted the structure straight from a DSO song ;D
I was thinking of adding a couple of blast beats but I was really trying to emulate what DSO was doing on Inquisitors Of Satan.
The monotony isn't helped by the lack of vocals.

I think I've sorted out the boomy low end...

I think this version is improved still, I think this is as close to final as I can get it.

Any advice, general or specific, would be great!
Thanks.
