Metalcore band from Sweden I'm recording/mixing. Feedback appriciated!

[CarlBlomqvist]

The band is called My Dying Days and play what I'd call metalcore.

I'm including three snippets from three different songs, so take a listen and give me some feedback/advice on the mix! I'm aiming to get done this weekend so it's almost final now

Bass is Podfarm for the highs, and AmpegSVX for the lows.
Drums are SD2.0 and Slate 3.5.

Loud vocals are loud man :/
the mix is quite dark, except for the vocals which are sticking out really heavy...try to get that more even, then it's a really solid mix imo!

The bass and guitars work REALLY well together, I love it. I also really like the snare. Kick is a little too thuddy though, too much lowend I think. And yeah, the vocals are really loud.

Thanks for the feedback. After having some sleep and A/B:ing a little, I agree the mix is kinda dark and... not as good as I thought. Listen to the updated version of #3 and say what you think! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/745395/Sneap/dying days/new 3.mp3

Yeah, they do I lowered the bass (under 120hz) on the kick and the bass in the new version, so check it out. I also scooped out some thudd in the kick, gave the vocals a new compressor and lowered them!

Cheers
Carl

Sounds much better now man!!! Told ya 1176 is da shit on vocals. Perhaps a bit more bass-guitar in the mix.

 

[Mago]

yeah it's better!
maybe eliminate the click on the vocal track at the very beginning?

 

[CarlBlomqvist]

There is no click on the updated version!
