Hi - I listened to your 1st mix version.
I like your vocals/guitars/FX in the intro - good job there.
Once the band comes in the the bass is very dominating. Because you've matched your kick drum to the bass the whole bottom end of the frequency spectrum is out of balance with the mid range.
The main problem with the bass is the amount of sub 50Hz content which is very hard to hear but carries enormous resonant energy - which is maybe why you've pushed it so hard. You may be better emphasizing the bass harmonics around 100Hz with a boost at 1-1.5Khz to help it cut through the mix .....rather than trying to smash it at 50Hz.
The vocals seem a little pushed back into the mix during verses and choruses. This may be because of low level/too much FX....but I think it is more likely because the bass/kick are too loud.
hope this helps.
Cheers
