Hey Shul, Nice mix...enjoyed it a lot. Helluva challenge getting this one knocked into shape and you've done a sterling job. Drums are nice and punchy, guitar has nice bite and vox sit well and you've got all those crash cymbals behaving too.
My only real criticism of your mix is that to my ears the overall tonality seems a little thin. This may well be a preference thing and depends on how you referenced your material and your listening environment - vs my preferences, references and listening environment so take with a pinch of salt.
In terms of solutions it could be that your guitars need a bit more warmth (if your hpf is a smidge high), or the bass needs a level boost or maybe even the cymbal level needs to come down----or simply some pultec low end warmth on the master buss.
All that said, i think the mix works as it is and by the end of of it I'm used to the tonality so its probably a marginal call.
Cheers, Simon

Be fierce in your encouragement, kind in your criticism and try and remember that the art of a good critique is not to make someone else's mix sound like yours...but to help the mixer realize their own vision.
