KsE - Fixation on the Darkness (TONE TEST)

[WillShrdForFood]

Killswitch always has great tone, and I found a backing for Fixation on the Darkness on guitarbt.com, so I figured I'd use it to work on/test out some tone and mixing. Just curious on what you think! I actually had three versions...The first was was extremely boomy and bassy, so I did a bass cut on this one.

Then was suggested to maybe cut some of the mids a bit too, so I did that on this one.
