The mix sounds pretty good overall, but the guitars lack body and fullness. The drums also sound pretty robotic, humanizing could go a long way, and the kit doesn't sound very natural, more like a collection of samples.

Well, I was too lazy to make a bass track for it so that's probably why it sounds a little weak. I personally don't think the drums sound too bad. Beats using superior drummer and the obvious sound that shit has. I'm still new to all this. I don't have a bunch of fancy equipment or programs, but I try to make it somewhat decent for what I have.

The drum sounds themselves aren't bad, no, I didn't mean to sound like that. To my ears, it just doesn't sound quite like a true matching-piece kit. It's kind of hard to explain. Take some 'verb off of that snare and get some high-end snap into it and it'll mesh with the rest of the drums better. The kick could also use a little less low end. A bass track would definitely aid your cause, orange tree samples makes a neat VST instrument if that's the flavor of bass you're looking for. Maybe cut some low mids (roughly between 300-650hz) out of the guitar tone and give it some 800hz warmth. How did you make that sound at roughly 0:26~0:27?

The mix as a whole has this dull feel to it. I love the riffs, they sound awesome. Definitely on the right track. I just feel like the tone needs a little bit more work in the midrange perhaps? I'm not too sure. All I know is that the tone sounded kinda dull to me.

The guitar tone is the weakest link IMO. Performance is good enough for djent and the composition makes me want to Meshuggah it up, but the guitar tones are lacking. They are all low mids and fizz with no body. My advice, don't try to make the guitars do what the guitars and bass should do. I know the sound you were going for though, it's a tough one to cop.
reminds me of the fall by a plea for purging in some parts 
sounds pretty good but maybe make the guitars a little less fizzy for this genre and i would make the snare less verby or at least give it a shorter tail

nope
It's pretty good! The music is pretty cool, I'm just not very fond of the leads, they seem a bit too "thordendal" to me.
Love the nasty guitar tone.
And I kinda feel the super reverby snare fits nicely.
Does it have a bass track? It doesn't seem to, and that would work wonders.
Also, I laughed irl reading the op and your sig. Good times I used to spend on that retarded imageboard laughing my ass off...

Signalsaudio.com's Zombass plugin is really neat if you're looking for a cheap, generic MIDI bass, yet it's not hard to get pretty good modern tones. I asked this before, but how did you make the 'waaa' sound around ~0:33? I can never seem to get my guitar to do that.

Just program some bass til you can get some recorded, no mix should ever not have a bass guitar, because you need that fullness in the middle of the stereo field loike
