Thanks. Here is another update. Now I really need to rest for a day or two because I think I'm not improving but only changing the mix. btw: reference are the latest job for a cowboy, bloodbath ep and deflorate by black dahlia murder.

A bit of ambience is not out of the ordinary even for brutal metal kicks. Send the kick to an fx track with high pass (or use the plugin's high pass if there is one) add some sidechain compression to the fx track triggered by the dry track and adjust to taste. The other option is to use the room samples you get from Slate's drums for example.
Check out the nice ambience on the first kicks in this song:

It's definitely better, but that kick still sticks out in the high end massively.
It sounds really high to me as well.

Yeah, followed from the first mix and I think the kick is too high in freqs and pitch...
But it'getting better.
Imo, you could get the sound much more brutal if you carve deeper with eq('s). Thinking of lowmids first...
I know that nothing splits minds more than snares but I could imagine a "putney" snare like northlanes with automated huge reverb would sound awesome and would push the whole mix immense.
Just my thoughts

I give this one 9.5 out of 10...I agree with what everyone is saying about the kick. When theres blasting it sounds good. But when its just the kick going it doesnt sound that great.

Ok, here´re my two cents. I totally agree on the kick thing. Don´t think processing brings to some improvement. Try to change your kick sample. Slate kick10 (You know the excessive use on core stuff) is a good starting point, or any other sample with noticeable amount of sustain. Than i´d layer it with a "dryer" sounding sample or two. Refined with some transient designer and saturation for glue should work. Research your samples, try some combinations, it´s there. Verb, Eq and pitch and jazz won´t work at all.

do you think I should be more extreme with all my eq's or especially on the drums?
thanks! I will work on the kick!

thats funny because the kick is actually a mix of kick10 and LSD kickdrums

You talkin' to me?
It doesnt sound bad, the mix is a little bright. The kick is loud and the vocals as someone said sticks out too much. Needs to be lower and you might add some reverb/delay to fit them better in the mix.
I took "Ruination" by Job For A Cowboy as reference...
now listen to the brightness and the kick in that mix. am I so far off!? I mean... listen to the kick, its so upfront!

did you listen to the 1.4 version of the mix? I think if I lower the vocals they get drowned!
