Thrashy/Proggy/Experimental

This tune is going on an album I'm putting out this year. In my ears the mix is close to where it needs to be, but some levels may be a bit off. There's no vocals yet. I'm looking to lay some down for it pretty soon. Just need a fresh set of ears from the metal community. Thoughts. Anything.

Weird... no one replied yet?

The song is very good! i think the snare is too low in volume, and could use more presence in the form of a EQ boost or compression...

The drums are too low in volume compared to the guitars, that should be sorted out...

lovin the synth stuff!! i am a big skyfire fan, i take it you are too from looking at the MP3 title?

Forgot to ask... what is that piano? what are the synths?

Thank you. I also came to realize the snare sounded too low in certain parts, at least. I don't know if I agree about the overall drum volume but there are parts where I'd like the kick to come through more etc. So I will definitely tweak them some.

Actually I don't listen to skyfire, I knew I'd heard the name somewhere before though. Maybe I should.

The piano is a piano synthesizer VST called Pianoteq, and the synths and bass are all done through Sytrus, which is part of FLStudio, but this also comes in a VST version.
