Cool riffing and good sounding heavy guitars.  Really missed the bass and overall bottom end of the thing, though.  Your vocal style works with it, too.  I'd listen to them fellas above.  Will be nice to hear more from ya.

I’m kinda confused with the low end part because I cut the Bass guitar at 30hz and the kick at around 70hz because I want the bass guitar to stand above kick. I thought it was enough bass, can you give me some advice on how to get that low end part that you’re missing?

Thanks for the input man, more songs are definitely in the lineup.

It doesn't sound lacking in bass here. I'd just bring the bass (the instrument, not an EQ band) up by 1 or 2 dB.
 
Rolling off the bass at 30 Hz should not affect the overall perception of "bass" in the mix. Remember, the frequencies that make bass cut through are not the low fundamental frequencies, but rather the harmonics above 300 Hz, sometimes as high as 1 KHz.
 
Try turning up the bass guitar a bit first; if that doesn't do it or you find you need too much boost to make it really stand out, then try an EQ boost. See what happens if you give it 3 dB around 900-1000 Hz. If that still doesn't cut it, try adding some distortion on the bass to add more harmonics.

I actually cut everything above 350hz to keep the guitars clean and sepatated from the bass guitar. That might be the issue you all guys are hearing. I thought it’s a good idea that the bass guitar never passes at 350hz. Man thank you so much, I need to do some testing tomorrow with the advice you all guys gave.

righteous, but I think it needs more cow bell and probably a 3 db bump around 22k.
