Re mixing my death metal band!

I was going to ask where is the death metal, sounds more like melodic metal to me, but then the vocals came in and it sounded like gothenburg metal. The guitars sound like over edited or otherwise a bit choppy on the part before the second verse(?) and the drummer is also stumbling a bit on that part. I like the mix, but I wish I could hear the definition on the bass guitar. Now I only "know" it's there, but can't "hear" it, if you know what I mean.
