I've listened to a few of these now, and I don't get why people really amp up the drum fill only to have the track kick in full and then the drums lose all that power you amped them up to have.

Anyway, your vocals sound like they're under the guitars rather than on the same level of them. I like how the crash is basically treated as another hihat and made really splashy. You kept some attack on the ride too which is nice. Overall to me the mix sounds a bit "dull". There is a lot in the mids and upper mids going on, but not a whole lot really going on in the highs. I mean really beyond the cymbals, the highs? Basically not there. Which to me takes away some of the bite from the guitars.
