Hi Debellatoris - thanks for mixing the track! What I enjoyed the most about your mix was the treatment on the verse guitars and the lead guitar parts - and I am the guitar player 
The bass guitar sounded good to me - a bit too much of the 1-2khz that Mike talks about in the article though - worth trying that out and seeing what you think.
Vocals maybe a bit too compressed? That is likely the top thing to look into - maybe some parallel compression or just a bit less of what is happening.
I was missing the chorus tremolo guitar - at first I thought you were holding it back for the first chorus, but it never appeared. A subjective comment, but it would be a 'from the artist' comment I could give you.
Drums sounded good - something was poking out for me with the hi-hat. Either volume or higher frequencies making it sound a bit brittle.
I hope this is helpful - I am trying to listen to everyone's mixes, but it's been a little slower due to some personal commitments. I'm learning a lot from everyone's take on the song, so I thank you again for taking the time to check it out.
