Hi DM, overall the mix seems to be hitting the limiter too hard and distorting the mix too much. The bass is overpowering the rhythm guitars, I found automating the level of the bass throughout the track helped it to fit into the mix better and affords you some headroom on the limiter, cutting 200-400Hz on the bass will also big help in that regard. The dirty rhythm guitars can also benefit from a multiband compressor stomping down on the 280 Hz region to keep them tight. The lead guitar tone is great sounding, cut back on the reverb during the solo and automate it up a couple of dBs to let it sing out a bit more. During the verses automate down the dirty guitars and let the clean guitars shine to change up the feel between verse and chorus a little more. During the piano chorus make the vocal more dry sounding and let the piano and fx provide the atmospheric element in that section.
Overall this should be a good base to work from and improve on for future revisions, keep it up!
Cheers and hope this helps,
Doug
