I'm far from a metal expert so take my input wit ha grain of salt. I like it overall as a start, but I think the mix still needs a little more "glue". Wish i could be more technical about it. I don't want to say it needs more reverb because I suspect more verb would ruin it. Maybe it's the kind of verb or the settings on it but it feels like the verb should sustain a little more on the lead guitar. Is it gated? Maybe the gate is closing too quick . In any case, I like it but I do think the final mix couold be tweaked to make this extra awesome.
