NEED HELP WITH MIX! black metal

[Pagan Matt]

Hey guys, I really need some help or feedback of this mix!

This is a recording of a black metal bands demo, they dont want it to sound too overproduced but still have that old school raw sound.

The band dosent use drum triggers, or boutique amps so it took alot of tweaking. The bass drum is loud but it's also adding too much 60 Hz fundamental to the mix. I have trouble balancing the thump and click on the kick an blending it into the mix. ideas?

There is alot to be done, setting levels and stuff so I need a fresh pair of ears. But hey this is my first recording with a band basically so go easy!

BLACK METAL IST KRIEEEEG!
i mean...sounds really black metal to me

the kick is definitely too loud and the overheads too
(and i think the drummer is not very consistent with the hits (is this recorded to a click?))
i think there a problem with the levels of everything
i think you can achieve a good black metal mix with the sound you have

im not trying to be an asshole
i REALLY wish my first band recording sounded like this


and i really like the song

ya all the songs wasn't recorded to a click, its just how they roll i guess...

I'd raise up the guitas and lower the kick (as the drummer is so sloppy with kd)
Vocals are way too quiet
Snare gets kinda lost in the mix.

Everything else sounds fine for black metal
