Some metal/hardcore for you to critique

[Anahamkarah]

Here's a metal/hardcore band I recorded a while back. They were on a limited budget so they paid for as much mixing time as they could.

Critique the mix/song for me, it'd be much appreciated. :D

That myspace page is just a page I made for this, btw, so ignore all the crap on it.

I like the spatiality of the mix.
I think the drums are a little drowned out, in a lot of hardcore drums more upfront sometimes contribute to the "rage" factor, so to speak...
Overall I think it sounds good... If one had to be picky I might have added a little bit of compression here and there, but the truth is you can hear everything and that is what counts.

Yeah I mixed this song once and the drums were definitely in the back, I'm pretty sure it's a monitoring issue causing it. I tried fixing it in another brief mix section, thought I got'em loud enough and still the same problem. I think I'll try bringing them up s'more in the near future.
