Not METAL, but maybe somebody would be willing to leave a comment or two on the mix... Would really appreciate it!

first thing that stands out is it sounds a little bit too squashed to me. can't feel any real dynamic transition between sections. I'd like to hear some more body to the rhythm guitars too, they have a kind of plasticy top end at the moment.

I think sorting out the mix compression and dynamics would really go a long way though.
 
thanks dude!

i'm watching the master compressor and limiter pretty closely - so must be something else in the mastering phase. probably one of the "Variety of Sound" plugs - saturation most likely. i'll take another peek, maybe pull something.

as for the guitars - might be the 'pulse. i love the tone, but there's something funky with the low-end/mids.
 
I'll agree that it sounds too squashed/limited as well. Just running it on my pc speakers but I can definitely tell when the music needs room to breathe listening on them. what plugs are you using?
