Hey man, thanks a lot for taking the time to help me out. The snare is slightly to the left. I wanted it that way to achieve at least a little bit of spread since the guitar and bass is mainly centered. The right-sidedness of the guitar is a result of slightly different EQing the one live take track. So it might be psycho-acoustically. I reworked the kick and snare eversince I posted the link. I ended up finding a trick for the snare to sound how I wanted it and also improved on the kick. I sent the EQ to an aux channel, down pitched it and put a fully wet reverb on it. Blended in, it added that down-tuned, almost woordrim sound I aimed for.
Here's the link to the current, almost final version of it, this time even with vocals

Thanks again!
i had the impression with the first version that the guitars overall too loud, but didn't post anything.
now with the vocals i feel this even stronger. unless you want the vox in the back...
and can't predict how it will come out when its mastered, if the vox will be after the compression much more in the front as they are now.
i think the "clean" guitar is even more "louder". i would turn overall the guitar(s) a bit down, the clean part a bit more.
it will still be very heavy, especially if you turn the volume up while listening, but it will not bury everything behind the guitars
when the guitars are lowered it could also become necessary to lower the bass as well...
just my thoughts, from another noob
