Hi!
I saw the other day that you've been quite busy posting up a few mixes and getting involved posting up a few comments. I'd have thought by now that a few people might have been kind enough to have returned the favor and commented on your mixes.
I gave this a quick listen on iems so my critique might be a bit off...
Not a bad mix. Vocals are nicely up front.
Not sure if you are using saturation on the master bus or something as I am hearing that the mix sounds a bit kind of muddy / congested in the mids / low mids? Maybe the mix is just a touch low mid heavy? I'm feeling that you could try and get a bit more separation between the kick/vocal/snare in that area? (not sure if the vocal & snare need highpassing just a little more?)
You might also be able to get a touch more separation and add some upper mids to the overall frequency balance - by adding say a little 3k to the kick, 1.5 or 2.5k and 8k maybe to the guitars and a little 4k on the vocal? Could be just adding a touch of 4k and a bit of air on the mixbus would do the trick?
Could maybe push the guitars a touch more in the chorus too, especially the lead riff thing?
Just a few thoughts that came to mind of some things to try regarding adding a bit of extra polish.
Keep it up!
Cheers!

Just uploaded a mix/master? Waiting for comments? Why not give back and critique a mix/master, or two!
