Hi Shul, first of all the mix you've got here sounds great,most of what I have to comment on is more taste things but overall the mix here is great.
The thing I most noticed about your mix is that the drums really are back in the mix, it almost seems like they are just there which is an interesting move for something of this style. I do like it but it does tend to make the guitars seem like they are dominating the mix.Maybe turning up the drums some more and turning down the guitars alittle will help split the difference and help the balance of the track.
The bass also sounds nice,but in its melodic parts it seems to be down in the mix and doesn't really cut through. I found automating up the bass in those parts plus using a more distorted tone helped to bring those parts out more in the mix.
I like the vocals in your mix, they just lift up the "choruses" and help the more anthemic feel of the track.
Again alot of my oberservations are taste things, the mix you've got here really sounds great and has more of a Sigor Ros feel to it with the layers.
Cheers,

Mixing is way more art and soul than science. We don’t really know what we’re doing. We do it because we love music! It’s the love of music first. Eddie Kramer
