Metal mix. Help me to tweak it to perfection.

[Cape]

Hi! Here is a metal mix. Anyone care to comment?

It's already limited. Sorry. (Just letting the band know how it sounds like...)
I certainly won't master this record myself. I'm just mixing this.

The main problem is that guitars collapse terribly, when I listen in mono. Guitars were tracked with 2x SM57 in phase, but still when I spread things fully L - R things get pretty whacky.

Vocals lack some character? Don't know what is missing...

I'll give you more details when needed. All help is appreciated.

More info:

I mean 2xSM57 per side and some riffs are double tracked. Guitar is Triaxis to a Mesa Recto 4x12 cab, but I'm missing the real dark and punchy mesa growl.

A real band playing real instruments and real amps. I really hate superior+impulse metal if you know what I mean.

Sounds good. I liked of what I heard but you could give more presence/body to vocals.
