Hi, nice cover - like it 
Your mix needs a lot of work though. Ear piercing frequencies eat the main core of mix structure.
Hey, cool song, which Caliban album is it from?
Good job on the mixing, and Im certainly no mixing expert, but one thing you can try is either automate a hi pass filter or a volume decrease on the kick drums whenever they do the quick doublebass thing. Otherwise the massive bass thrust completely takes over the mix and buries the guitars. This happens first at 0:12 into the song.
I dig it!
Yo thanks for the feedback
the song is from their album 'the awakening' i think...
by the way, do u guys mix with headphones or monitors? Ive read so many pros and cons of both - i try to use both but one always ends up sounding better than the other..
Ok, thanks! I need to check it out.
I use a combination of both, and I also listen on my cheap shitty boombox, on the iPhone etc. If I had a great acoustically well-treated room then monitors would be the only thing I'd use but since that's not available I have to use everything I can to reference-check my mixes. I think its very difficult to get a good-sounding mix so I need to check on different systems to make sure nothing sticks out or annoys me. Especially the low end is hard to get right I feel.
I mix on Beyer DT770 phones right now but Im gonna invest in a pair of Sennheiser HD650. Many people like them and they seem to be some sort of common reference for a lot of people.
What do you use to mix?

Extremely hard to make a good mix/master on headphones. You need good monitors and well treated room to get good results. For tracking and rough mixing headphones are perfect. You don't need to robe a bank to get decent ones: BD DT770 PRO or semi opened 880. AKG K240 MKII or more expensive Sennheiser HD600 (but they are open one).
Personally I use Beyer DT770 PRO and 880 PRO.
I have well treated studio room with bass traps and acoustic foams + sound diffusers
Monitors: Adam a77x and KRK Rokit 8 G3
I use outboard gear as well. Distressor, API2500 compessor
I you are mixing in your bedroom/home studio treat the walls well with acoustic foams and buy decent monitors. If you are on low budget I'd recommend to spend at least 500 Euro (pair). If you are reacher buy better (more expensive) ones. I'd recommend subwoofer as well to obtain good low end control.
Use favourite tracks as references as much as you can and… PRACTICE!!!!
