Quick Metalcore Mix (Slate Trigger, miked amps)

[Melodeath]

So I've been doing mixing for a band. The dude records his music in his home studio and then I mix and master. Well, last night the guy sends me a message saying a metalcore band down the street came over and recorded a song in his studio, and he was wondering if I could do a quick mix for them. So I made something in a couple hours and I was just curious what people here thought of the sound, as I don't typically mix or listen to metalcore.

All I know is the guitars were miked amps, but I don't know what amps they were
Kick and Snare were replaced using the Slate Trigger demo
Overheads are mono since they only used one mic
I didn't have any input on the recording (I just receive 320kbps mp3s for each track), and I didn't do any drum editing/tightening.

That's about it.
I appreciate any comments

To me the voice sounds too much on top of everything else. It could sink a bit better in the mix. I dig the bass and rythm guitar sound.

Kind of dumb recording and way of working this guy has (wtf @ giving mp3s for mix and mono OHs...), but whatever, out of your control.

Guitars sound good, maybe just "opening" them a little in the high-mid area, but not so sure. Not digging the kick, sounds kind of tacky, but it seems that it's common these days. Would try to blend the voice a little more, a little bit of deessing wouldn't hurt IMO.

Some of the drum sections (especially the fills...) are so sloppy, and so are the doublebass

sounds like you did the best with what you had, next time tell him to just track DI's and send raw everything... jeesh. mono overheads o_0??? better idea, get in touch with the band and tell them to just work directly with you.
