Maybe a slight midrange boost did more harm than good. I hear a build up around 200-350Hz. That makes your mix less clear. The attack of the guitars is too sharp, I think . It takes away the snap of the snare and the attack of vocal and bc of that, it makes your mix a bit dark. If you listen to the end ~7:50 where it's densest, you'd hear the vocal/snare got push down, mostly bc of the lead guitar. I'd shorten the attack (comp) on the guitar until I hear either the snap of the snare or the vocal gets clearer w/o round the guitars too much. Sometimes just a notch around 3-4kHz on the guitars can help clear out the space for both since the snap of the snare and the high (intelligibility) of the vocal live somewhere in that range. Or you can also boost in the same region to snare/vocal instead. But I'd work on managing the midrange first. It may be that's all you need. Hope it helps. Cheers
