What is wrong with my mix?

[crosstalk]

So I've finished mixing some songs and I'm not pleased at all. They miss something or a lot of things. They just sound weak and nowhere near 'in-your-face' like metal should be. I'm unable to figure out what's wrong though. I'm hoping someone can help me out.

Here's one of the songs called "Flawed Existence" (which I'm feeling right now) and it can be found at http://www.soundclick.com/bulletrideproductions

Any and all help/advice will be greatly appreciated!

More kick.

Add some dirt to the bass git.

But mainly the drums, make em huge.

agree 100 percent

turn the drums up
and the bass

should be a good start here for the rest of the placements

Thanks for the tips. I uploaded a 2nd version with louder drums and bass. I need to tame around 300hz on the bass I think, and I may have the bass too loud now. Anyway, after doing this, the guitars now sound really weak to me.

Great drums sound. Kick/Snare are killer.

Guitars sound quite good.

Can't stand the song.
