Another 5 Minute metal epic...missing last couple minutes of song, has most tracking

[LunarJK]

Hey guys, I am going to upload another track I'm working on right now. This one will probably be about 7 minutes in total or so, but I only have the first 5 recorded for now. From this mix there are a lot of vocals done, but there are a couple verses still missing. Other than that I still might add some string sections here and here, but that will come last.

I've taken a lot of the advice I got from the last track I put up and took it into account when trying to mix this. Unfortunately I still cannot do everything I want to to the drums, because I don't want to bother bouncing the drums until I have the entire song layed down, so I was once again limited to the built in stuff in SD2.0.

I have though since fixed my DAW and it now runs 99% smoothly for me, so its much more manageable, and I can use more effects than I did before. Either way, I've already listened to this a thousand times and my ears are getting tired, I'd like to have some fresh opinions before I carry on with it. Also since i've been doing this mostly in the night time this mix is all done with headphones, I haven't thrown my monitors on to yet.

Already since I've mixed down and ran a quick master I've noticed:
- Snare can come down a little i think
- Some irregularities in vocal volume, I'll do some automated faders by the end
- The clean vocals in the chorus are in Swedish, my English is not horrifically muffled

and side note: Those "ghostly" guitars in the background just after the 3 minute mark are my way of making "wind" sound, thats what that is, they arent supposed to be in tune perfectly with everything.


And without further ado...

Had to laugh at the doubles,This is going to be a killer tune when it's done.
