Overall I think it works. The only real issue I have is with the guitars. They feel somewhat hollow and empty to me. It's a cool song but I don't know if it takes away some of the power or the track. They're a bit upfront I think to compensate and as a result then to overshadow the rest of the band. (That said, I've had a lot of issues with the guitars in this one and they almost always feel loud in everyone's mixes. So, I suspect I'm just not hearing this tune right)
Behind the guitars the rest of the band feels pretty good.
After a quick listen nothing else jumps out at me besides the guitars which, again, sound cool but I'm not sure if they're appropriate for the track.
Though, I have been wrong before...

I Listened to V2
- Guitars sound oddly out of phase. Not sure why. Try flipping polarity maybe? Guitars are also a tad too ‘fizzy’
- Bass is pretty boomy and is rather overpowering. I feel like this is the biggest distraction
- Kick could use more low end
- Vocals are pretty good
- Kick, Snare, and toms could come up just a tad
- Mix in general feels a bit too ‘scooped’. Maybe raise the mids by just a hair but not too much
- The guitar delay on the solo was cool
Good luck!
