Hey - nice balance, but the guitar/drums-groups are a bit overcompressed. You seem to have messed up something in the mastering compression settings, try a shorter release and attack.
But I really like the mix! You definitely got the feeling this song was meant to have.
Maybe try to have the vocals stick out a little more. They're pretty sharp and that's what I had to deal with as well. But try to lift up the high mids a bit to have the necessary crunch in his voice.
Pro tip: Have a parallel vocal track with a distortion effect (I like tape saturation for vocals, but any not too heavy distortion effect will do) with really high compression on it. If you're using waves you probably have the CLA-76 blacky in your library, that one works best for me.
Mix it to the vocals just so they stick out a little more in the mix without the distortion really being audible. It's called magic
I love the end part, you got it really heavy there.
Keep it up!
