The Apprehended Still Flying.

Hi

*The overall mix is lacking very importan mids, low mids, and lows. Are you by any chance mixing on cheap headphones? some headphones or even computer speakers are very midrange full.. this gives the impression that there is too much mids in your mix but is not. I'd suggest you invest in a good pair of studio headphones.
*Your lead guitars are out of sync. You should check out the reference mix to map figure them out.. also it will help with the overall EQ of your mix. You should always compare with reference mixes if you are not familiar with the genre. Not to mention that you should always check other songs to make sure your mix in comparison is NOT TOO THIN, NOT TOO BRIGHT, NOT TOO BOOMY etc.
*Kick is not present at all.
*brightness on the mix is too much that is ear fatiguing.

check this song out and then check your mix to see what I mean about the mids and lows missing.

Untill you fix this overall EQ problem I can't give you more feedback because it's impossible to be more specific.
Hope this helps.. keep it up
