Tips on this metal mix - not sure what else it needs

[Gwii]

Hey everyone. I was hoping to get some tips/opinions on this mix. I'm pretty happy with where it's at but I think it still needs work.

Guitars were done with a double miked 5150. Leads with a Carvin V3. Bass was done DI and drums are SD 2.0.

Thanks!

Overall, it sounds awesome!
only thing that bothers me is the snare...
are you using the Sd2 samples?

Thanks man! Yeah the snare is 100% SD sample. I'm still trying some things with the snare; I want it to have a bit more crack. I'm going to try blending some samples with it.

Here's an updated mix that I just finished. I think this one is a lot better. I fixed the low end and blended some samples with the snare.

Can someone with good monitors comment on the low end of the mix please? My monitors suck, and I had a hard time getting the bass and kick to work together.

I think the vocals need a little more work, cleaned up a bit in the mids/ low mids to have a little more SHEEN to them. They seem a bit dull and lifeless IMO. Otherwise sounds pretty good dude
