as the mix goes! i see you made another tones, and they sound great!

here's some nitpicks for you:

- try turning down that guitar reverb a bit. it does add space, but sometimes is a bit loud
- some parts have a bit too much gain, try automating that (lower gain when the song gets calmer)
- sometimes the low-end of the guitar solo is a bit overwhelming, try high passing that around 100-300hZ (if it looses body, just use an dynamic EQ on the 200hZ'ish area and you'll be good)
- can't hear the kick drum properly, try turning that up by some 2-3dB
- feels like the drum shells could use some more impact on the mix. to achieve that, compress the hell outta those, + use parallel compression to get the drums a bit more energetic. if it clips on the master limiter, just soft clip them anywhere (on the track, on the drum bus, or even the mix bus, witch i usually do)

thanks for mixing!!!
Awesome man, thanks!  Yea, definitely a great song.  I'll try cutting down the reverb to 50%.  I also considered automating the volume envelope on the parts where the music stops in order to silence everything completely with no reverb tail.  
I actually automated the volume UP on the quieter parts instead of leaving it, but could definitely split the difference on the envelopes. 
Agree that the kick could come up.  I had the Bass guitar up quite a bit and automated it louder in certain parts to really get the growl going, but might have overdone it.  I was certainly in my feels haha
I will try compression on the drums, I have those cranked in some parts of the song and kept them at the same volume for other parts.  Just didn't want to use too much compression and bring up the reverb but I'll give it a shot.
