Rate some vox - death metal

[Terminus]

Hey guys, here's a song from my upcoming project and we're doing vocals at this point so I wanted to get some opinions on them from you folks, both performance and how they fit into the mix. We're already going to re-do them (not me, my friend did these) so any crits and commentary I'll pass on to the guy nicely hehe, from what I can tell he's got too much of his speaking voice in it, there's that "uuuuuuuuu" you can hear under the growl that I personally dont really like, does that just bother me or what?

it sounds a little bit harsh overall to me,but maybe its how you want it,vocals maybe more up in the front,thee uuuu sucks yes but i guess this is a thing about how he sings,guitar solo more in da face also,it sounds far.

hm strange undertone in the growls indeed, but they do sound nice imo still!

mixwise it sounds a bit strange...very muffled/overdriven/clipping...not fitting the more modern production I think, maybe would fit into old shool stuff though

Yeah I pushed the kick too hard, and the guitars were a bit trebly. I am really going for an old school raw vibe, but of course I want it to resemble newer death metal mixes as far as clarity is concerned. The muffled bit is probably from the quick pseudo mastering attempt.

I think I ment the sound of vocals, not the rest of the mix (as far as I remember)

ah, gotcha. yeah saturated those quite a bit too lol, that's likely what you're hearing.

I'd suggest cutting around 250hz a few db's with a moderate Q. That should really help eliminate the "uuuuuuuu" undertone and help it sit on top of the instruments better.
