Hi!

Vocals have way too much reverb and are too loud, snare sounds boxy, try cutting somewhere around 300-500Hz, bass could use some more low end and less mids as it sounds bulgy and congests the mix now.

Always be careful with reverbs. You could try the reverb on an aux track... send vocals there, high and low pass the sent signal before it hits the reverb and then set the aux's volume to taste, so it blends nicely with the mix.

Have fun, never give up! :)

Eq before the reverb will probably make only a subtle difference... try which one you like better.

Another thing you could try is putting a compressor as the last fx in your aux chain and then sidechain the vocal track into the compressor (in addition to the actual vocal track going through the chain normally). Set the threshold and release so that the loudest parts of the vocals push down the reverb and the reverb only comes as a tail.

Works nicely with guitar lead delays too. Smile
Often used to duck the bass when the kick drum hits.

You might be familiar with the technique already:

I like it overall. Things that I don't like: The vocals are tood loud in the screamo part and the reverb style is not the best choice for this song/genre. I rarely hear very loud chamber/mid sized vocal reverbs in modern metal production, it just doesnt't fit very well and sounds too distracting. The 2nd solo is not loud enough, the choir is there to support the lead guitar, not to push it in the background. I don't know why so many people go full Manowar with the choir in the solo part. It's not really adding anything.
