This song is heavy in the low end. I mostly chose it because I haven't really done a metal mix analysis yet. The main elements of upper mids and high end are the cymbals, snare, and at times the guitar. Everything else including the vocals fall into the low mid/low end category. I think the guitars are well balanced and the drums sound great. I wish the bass and kick were slightly more present. Overall I am not displeased by this mix.
