Hey guys, I haven't been on in a while nor have I recorded/mixed in a month or so, so I wanted to get an opinion on a mix seeing as I'm recording bands very soon.

This is just a little metalcore demo I wrote/tracked, the first set of vocals are me on a really crappy stage mic, the second part is me on my crappy mxl v67, but it's what I'll be recording with. My vocals are not that great, so please, take it easy on me haha.

Nitpick this hardcore, especially the vocal mixing. I'm pretty happy with where the rest of the mix is (except bass) but anything you hear that sounds off, let me know, I need any feedback I can get. Thanks guys!

for me, the vocals stick out as needing some work. They sound sort of thin; maybe could add some distortion and layering to make them sound more full?
 
Mix needs more clarity/presence. It sounds like there's a pillow in front of the speakers. Especially guitars need a bit more hi-end.
