How does my mix sound and how can i make it better? (Metalcore)

[DecemberDescendants]

I'm recording my band's first EP , and i'm trying to make it sound better. So far this is how the EP generally sounds.

The drums and live recorded with a replacement kick and a snare sample blended in. The guitar were recorded through DI into an interface with the TSE 808 and the TSE x50 for distortion and s-preshigh and s-pres5 impulses. The vocals were recorded with a cheap MXL 990. The bass was ran through a Behringer amp and then DI-ed into the interface. Any feedback would be awesome as i am fairly new to recorded.

-Thanks

First of all you need to get the vox louder, at least the clean part. And it´s a bit out of tune from time to time. Melodyne is your friend
And it´s really untight at the end. Both the guitars and the kick.
Other then that. Good tune!

Tune up the vocals. Add a slight compression to the snare. The guitar sounds good but the whole thing sounds a bit mono. Maybe try stretching it?
and add reverb to the solo. And you got a decent mix

Not a bad mix, although I feel that your bass drop samples (all 9 of them) are turned up very loud. I'd suggest lowering the volume of that!

A cool trick to expand the guitar tone is the bx_shredspread plugin from Brainworks, really effective way to make guitars sound huge, increase the stereo feel and avoid phase issues.
