Crit my mix (Thrash Metal)

[Vihaleipä]

Hello! I recently recorded and produced my friends song, it turned out pretty well even though I had to use midi bass for this. How does the mix sound? I used Children Of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet? as a reference for the drum sound and for the overall balance (even ended up using the COB kick sample on this).

I used the TSE X50 for the guitars with my own IR, Metal Machine for the drums and a few samples for kick and snare and the bass is midi.

The guitars might be ok for now, but the drums are really weak compared to them. I even think that you might get better results with just the default Metal Machine sound (and without additional samples). Try with that and add some slight compression and bump up some lower frequencies on it (I'm having in mind that the MM library is also a little bit shy on low frequencies).
