Good mix, even better mixing video/tutorial. I gonna ask one of the mods to pin this thread to the top so I can refer to this video for all of the basic stuff and as general guidance on how to mix this song.
As for the mix: A lot of solid & tasteful mix decisions throughout the whole mixing process, I especially liked how you created the space for the bass solo with track spacer. All in all, you did a lot of the same things that I did back when I mixed the ref track in 2019. Looks like you've been watching a lot of NTM sessions, too
The only thing that stands out like a sore thumb is the snare in the blast beats. As good as the snare sounds in the rest of the song (although I think it's a tiny bit too loud, but that's personal preference), it’s way too dominant in the blasts and needs to come down in intensity and volume.
Two more things: There are some small details like the nice little bass figure at 1:45 that deserve a place in the spotlight. Also, the solo at 1:53 REALLY needs to come up. The solos are the antagonists to the vocals throughout the whole song. That's why they also repeat the core melody of the song and are less shred-fests like in other songs of ours.
