Opinons, Thoughts, Criticisms, And Improvements on Mix

[Lascaille's Shroud]

I know the vocals have tad too much reverb on them, they are pre-signal and I haven't had the time to record them. But I would like to hear what your general thoughts on the mix/production. What could be improved and whatnot, and any tips how to achieve so would be also greatly appreciated!

Where the bass? Kick sounds too plasticy and needs to go up in volume. But I can't hear any bass and it sounds THINNNNNNNN

Yeah, everything sounds really, really thin and lacks punch. Everything needs to go up in volume.

What the hell is wrong with your overheads brah? That cymbal that is playing during the verse sounds like some video game sound effect where you are picking up coins.

I think you are suffering too many effects, not enough actual using of your ears.

Turn down vocal reverb and then up the diffusion so it sounds more stereo. Increase around 200 hz for body in your vocals, all I'm hearing is air.

The guitars themselves don't sound bad but they need a better, fatter bass track underneath them to bring them out.

Drums are just lacking all kinds of punch and stereo presence. They all sound panned down the center, and super programmed.
