I think this has turned out all right to be honest.
I don't know whether there is a little too much pumping going on though...

Drums are SD2
Guitars are ec1000 -> TS -> 5150 Combo -> 57
Bass is Spector Q5 -> BDDI and DI

That's about it, please let me know what you think!

No-one?

Most of the time (at least for me) pumping is a result of to much energy on the lower department. Can´t check on subwoofer right now. Keep an eye on your low end.

 

[Yajlom]

Maybe more hi pass on bass? Kick too? Guitars are pretty good. Doesnt sound like its extremely pumping, but it is holding back hi end.

 

[DanLights]

yeah I think the high-end is great, you just need to do some filtering on the low end, sounds very boomy down there

 

[jackbraglia]

yea if you're woofers are big enough you can hear some massive pumping with that kick. pull some low-end out of it and you should be good.

I can't add anything that hasn't been already said, but I'd like to say FUCK YEAH Bolt Thrower

Cheers for the input guys!

I've taken about 1dB off the kick at about 60Hz, and fiddled with the comp a bit.
Put a LPF on the kick and the bass.
Also taken 0.5dB off the low end of the bass, and tightened the comp a bit.
Rolled a bit of the high mid boost off the guitars, and turned them down a bit.
Put an exciter on the snare.

Sounds better?

Ridiculously good band.


On a side note, I keep bouncing my mixes to my iPod, only to find a shit-ton of clipping which I cannot hear at all on my monitors, which is slightly worrying.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Bump and new clip.

I think the cymbals area bit too prominent in this one though.
