You list an awful lot of influences but I only really hear two.
Dimmu Borgir
Slipknot

Neither of which I'm fond of. That's beside the point.

Vocals - I'm not used to hearing black metal lyrics in clean production (mostly because i rarely listen to black metal) but yours are pretty good.
The clean are just... clean lyrics. Can't really say anything against or for them.

Guitars - The rythym guitars are really thin in the mix. Little on the repative side but that's normal in the black metal area. After listening again, they are a even a little more varied than most.

Drums - I'm not terribly knowledgeable about about drums. They sounded fine to me. They seemed a shade too much in the front but that's really because the guitars were thin rather than them too loud.

Bass - Another thing I'm not well acquainted with. I liked it over all.

Overall - The production is a little muddy, but after listening to a lot of Bathory everything seems crystal clear in comparison. It was pretty good for a black metal inspired band.
