Metal work in progress - feedback needed

[lanky noob]

So, I know this can be improved but i'm not entirely sure what I can do to improve it, apart from brightening up the guitars and sorting out the kick, however i've already boost the upper mids of the guitars like buggery and i can't for the life of me figure out what to do with the kick, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

The guitars are woofing out quite a bit in the low end on the palm mutes. If you got a multiband compressor try compressing around 80-200 hz, otherwise just EQ down that area and compress.

I think all of the drums are a bit too dark/muddy and would need some more high end, esp the kick. Actually the entire mix is a bit dark, vocs as well.

cheers tried a multiband on the guitars just now and it sucked all the life out of them, so some precision eq seems to have just about sorted out the woofing.

Tried boosting the high end on the kick but instead of a nice slap it sounds like an icepick, and without drumagog or anything it look slike i'll have to spend some time pasting in samples by hand to try and get a decent sound

thanks for the help dude! much appreciated, will post newer results when i get round to doing more on this mix

made some adjustments if anyone could help me out with the top end of the cymbals/how to stop the guitars sound bigger and not so weedy on this it'd be massively appreciated, couldn't get a multiband to work on the cymbals without taking everything away from them, and if i raise any of the lows in the guitars i get the woofing noise that i just fixed
