Wow, liked it a lot. What did you use for the guitars, they sounded great! The OH's were really crisp as well.

There's definitely some pumping happening. Sounds to be happening most during the heavy palm mutes. I do really dig on the guitar tone but there's probably an unnecessary bit in the low frequencies that might be aiding this pumping. If not that check your attack, threshold, and release settings of your 2 bus comp. Sounds like it could be a little bit more reserved to help open up the mix a bit more. Just what I'm hearing though.

+1

and +1 for not your typical In Flames/Soilwork song writing

One thing I'm noticing is the snare is a little dull sounding. I think if you gave it a little boost in the highs ~6-10khz, it should sound a lot more 'crisp'.

Take this for what it's worth (especially coming from me ) but I think you need to shave off just a tad more on the guitars (low freqs).
