That's some monstrous low end you got there cube3!
The sustained notes on the bass are really taking a toll on smaller speakers and clouding everything with them...
I would dial that back a good notch, perhaps cut some sustain as well...
The vocals are a bit muffled and could use some air.
Drums are a tad too compressed (I hear it in the cymbals mostly, so perhaps you could use some parallel compression and remove the high end from the send to a parallel compressor?)
Tones are not bad overal, balance is fine so if you start by clearing the low end, you should have a reasonable mix...
Oh and the end should really be a fade out, it doesn't make much sense to end it like that!

Thank you for your feedback, very nice work on this track b.t.w.
I have done some eq shelving in the low freq and used Kush Clariphone for presence / air on the vocal and snare. The Master Comp, is now on Fast, with High tube bias. I have removed the Low freq sustain (I did that on the Elysia Nvelope 500, i sometimes get to greedy with it).
