Cool song, band sounds good too.

It's pretty dark and muffled sounding to me.
Vulc, you hit the nail on the head here. But apart from the muddy guitar tone (hint-try splitting the signal from the guitar & taking a direct recording straight into the board, that way you can re-amp it later, or process it with an amp simulator if necessary) I feel it's the BASS tone that is primarily responsible for the overly dark tone. It doesn't seem to have any top end to it. Sometimes you can put 2 copies of the bass track in your sequencer (or send the same track to 2 differently processed busses), then process & eq each completely differently - one with all the lows & sub info, the other with all the high end & distortion/overdrive. I found this works great for keeping the low end punch, while retaining audiblity without completely muddying up the mix with bass.
