First, I have to say that this is a work in progress, there're some left to be sung, so there's a missing part at the end of the song. I made a decent mix to share with you guys and I want to hear about your opinions to improve the mix.

Basic Info:
Quadtracked guitars (Fender Strat with Jb Jr on bridge)
8505 + Awesometime Fredman Impulses and lots of eq and compression
S2.0 drums, nothing's replaced.
Bass is midi bass into Hypersonic's amped bass into sd-1 plugin into studio devil.
Vocals: Me with a RODE NT-2A condenser (poorly)
I made all gang vocals by myself (three to six channels)
Industrial cling clang noise: My wallet chain which was put in a Carlsberg 50cl glass, shaken in front of Rode, and tweaked with delay, reverb, soundshifters and etc.

For those who don't know Dream Evil, it's Nordström's own band. They play heavy metal and write funny lyrics.

I've been listening to the original for the last couple weeks in the car so its awesome to check this out!!! Right, down to business... Straight off the bat, the first "Metal" is way sharp compared to the rest of the tune...The vocals seem louder than everything else... compress them bitches or roll off some volume and high-end above 12khz... Also I'm noticing some weird reverb on "read all about it" that sounds like its in a hollow metal room or something...I'd try a plate reverb with a nice smooth tail.
Next, that snare needs some reverb and compression if my memory serves me well. You're doing a kickass job, man

sounds good to me except the guitar low end... there's too much boom for my taste. : ) but great job!
