Hello Braxtons
I think you gotta go back to re balancing the mix.
Here are my observations.
*Tones on guitars are great the way they are in the recording. I would stay away from the eq as much as possible. Here they sound very bad. as if they were recorded through a very bad amp.
*Drums are a really important part of any metal song. They don't have to poke out.. but also they don't have to be so burried. I would turn up the drums overall maybe another 5db. Here I can barely hear the distinction.
*I hear reverb excess overall in the mix. I think that's one of the main problems for why the mix sound foggy. I would add very little reverb to everything here.
*Bass has some resonating freq. that are causing some problems too... I would use a shelf Eq from 100hz down.. and a cut around 200Hz to kill that unwanted freq.
Perhaps you uploaded the wrong file? Honestly I can't hear drums at all.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the feedback Shul!
I did this mix in about 3 1/2 hours with no breaks, and looking back, you're definitely right. I went back and brought the drums up, EQd the bass, and dropped the reverb down. Updated the first post with the new version.
