Bringing out Heavy Metal Guitars in the Mix (Attachment)

Hi Guys! My first day here, and already the forum feels like a blessing! :)

Anyways, I play guitars for a Death metal band. I've got a small Home recording setup which consists of a Scarlett 18i6 audio interface, and a pair of Yamaha HS50M studio monitors.

I use Cubase 5 to record demos for my band... I never seem to get a decent Guitar sound which kind of shines out in the mix, without killing any other instrument. For this demo, I recorded 4 guitar track, 2 panned extreme and 2 panned 70-70. It did help in defining the guitar sound in some way, making it sound a tiny bit fuller, but i am still unhappy!

The guitars and bass in the track are completely unmixed, just the drums, and the levels so that everything sonds somewhat in place and it doesn't clip at any time.


Please suggest me some eq, techniques to get a massive guitar sound, maybe something like Nile or Decapitated? :)


Also comment on the overall recording, mistakes etc. Critics are most welcomed. :)
