Have you any advice for my mixes?

[Shakez]

Hey guys,

I'm new in here, so if I miss some rules, please tell me
So, I just wanted to start by showing you the first mix I've made for my own band, Conception Divided.
I hope you can give me some advice for my mix, esspecially for the guitars.
I also uploaded the "mastered" (just EQ and Comp/Limit) version of the track, that is actually released for promotion on the internet.

-->Mastered mix


Thank you very much!

Hey,
a lot of people listened to the song and I wondered, why no one answered my post
Obviously I'm not that perfect, that no advise is needed, but please, take those 30 seconds to share your thoughts with me, to help me to become a better mixer.
Thanks!

I don't feel like the problem is with the guitars (only thing I'd do is to add a little more gain, just a little). More like in the drums which weaken the whole mix. Bass could be a little more dirtier and upfront also.

Thanks for your reply. I did a sidechain of the whole drum bus, this could might be too much. On the other hand ... More EQ / Levelig for the drums?
Bass, I see.

I will try to focus on these things

The drums are too weak in general. I'd look for more punchier more REALISTIC samples and programming. Bass has too much obnoxious lowend that clouds everything else atm.
