In Flames - Zombie Inc. (full cover) - any thoughts/opinions on how to improve this?

[Oske7]

Aside from the sketchy mastering (I kinda half-assed it for this since the mix is still a work in progress), is there anything that stands out to you guys as something that needs work? Any feedback is highly appreciated!

Thanks!

Add just a touch of distortion to the vocals to thicken them up and smooth over the rough patches. Sounds great!

I think the mix is good, but I think the guitar/bass tone had too much mids in them. You can hear that 'clunk' which I don't find appealing in a tone imo.

Oof. Love this song, always have. As a complete idiot when it comes to mixing, the only thing that really stands out is that the drums seem to lack any low-end punch. That area is just totally filled by the bass, which means (especially during the verses) it tends to punch a little bit whereas the drums all sound like cymbals. Maybe I'm an idiot, I don't know.

In my opinion, the clean(ish) guitars are a massive part of this song. Your mix seems to lack the hollow/"tubey" sound that Bjorn manages to get with his guitars, maybe this is down to tone or suchlike (again, could be me being an idiot).

Hope those observations help. Great mix though. Fantastic playing as well.
