Any feedback welcome, thank you.
Small adjustment in V2
First thing I notice is a noise floor, which shouldn't be present. I'm guessing this could be from analog modeling plugins, and I recommend turning the noise off or using plugins without it. There's a reason people used to try and avoid noise at all costs- it just muddies the mix. The message in the intro is also a bit buried in the mix.
With the vocals, I'm not hearing much but treble. The goal should be to get a good balance of frequencies, so less boost in the treble, and more upper and lower midrange. For the drums, I can barely make out the snare in any part of the song, which is probably because of the compression.
Dynamics could be better throughout, and I think the first thing you should do is lower the gain on most of the tracks. Everything is being compressed very hard here. I also highly recommend looking into more effective use of attack an release, which I think would help the drums a lot here.
