who want to mix the new album of my band? new competition here!

OK, my try... But do note that I really suck with this studio mixing thing, I am more of a live engineer than a studio engineer myself. Edit: No mastering, has only the mix

I mixed it with headphones because its like 1am now, no sample replacing or any other sort of "cheating" used here :) Btw, did it bother anyone else that the kick-tracks had a huge amount of bleed and they had this sound like someone is hitting a huge beach balloon?

edit: FVCK! I noticed that I had the EQ activated on my audition mixer, when I turned it off, my mix sounded like shit. I have have to redo the mix at some other time, now my ears are too fatiqued. I tried this "remastering" as a quick fix: http://www.ahjteam.com/upload/witchblade_ahj2.mp3 (~5mb)

Its not uncommon to have source audio drum tracks (or other tracks) that require drastic eq and gating come mix time. Dont be afraid to experiment with extreme settings. Sometimes its nessessary to manipulate things in the mix like this.
 
I used samples to enhance the original sounds. Slate samples. Tommy snare & kick 17. Eq to fit in the mix + bunch of other stuff... Massey comp & Tapehead & A couple of different reverbs.
 
If I finish all my stuff on time, i'll give it a try! Not a big power metal fan, but the song is nice - if it wasn't, i'd not mix, of course.
 
Here is my version: click here...
I've made this at my parents house on a hifi speaker - we are spending the weekend here. Maybe it's a bit low in volume, I didn't put any limiter/comp on the master bus (leave this to the mastering house ;)).
