This may well be a preference thing and depends on how you referenced your material and your listening environment - vs my preferences, references and listening environment so take with a pinch of salt.
In terms of solutions it could be that your guitars need a bit more warmth (if your hpf is a smidge high), or the bass needs a level boost or maybe even the cymbal level needs to come down----or simply some pultec low end warmth on the master buss.
All that said, i think the mix works as it is and by the end of of it I'm used to the tonality so its probably a marginal call.

Actually I agree the low end doesn't really reach enough punch. The bass is the one filling up for that. I'll see what I can do. I was focused on clarity on this song so maybe I got carried away a bit.
I didn't use a reference track. I normally don't. I listen to the tracks first , balance them, and then I dicide what it needs, what it lacks, what over exceeds etc. To not chance the bands sound so much.
Thanks for the feedback ☺
