adjusted the impulses on the guitars, messed with the drums a bit and completely remade the master chain

The drums (toms in particular) sound a little too programmed, guitars could come up a bit and the mix in general is a bit too clean.
Bass tone is nice.
Good job.

I learned to mix/record when I was in a metalcore band so I have a tendency to make everything clean/polished sounding. Thanks for the input. I'll try to dirty it up a bit haha

edit: not to say I'm not learning anymore

I'm also not exactly sure what you mean by sounding programmed. Any tips?

Nope. The low end track is just a low pass EQ and TSE BOD, the grind track is a high pass EQ, TSE BOD and TSE 808 with the drive maxed out. Both of those feed into another track with TSE 808, EQ, pretty heavy compression and GClip
