In general the overall tonality in this mix is great. The respective level of all the instruments is good. The bass sounds awesome!
I feel this mix has too much reverb happening altogether. I felt the snare reverb didn't help the drum ambience at all. While the slapback on everything else sounds good, I feel there's just too much (=loud) of it everywhere. I think this kind of song is about immediateness, not epicness.
The snare sounds surprisingly light. Check your polarity with the overheads.

i agree, i overdid the reverb on the snare and guitars, and the vocal slap is louder than it should.
i flipped the polarity on the snare drum it was out of phase against the overheads, i dont think its specially light, i think its sounding more distant and difuse than i would liked, it lacks some upfront sounding body.. But comparing against your mix yes i agree you could say its light, you made the drums very punchy and fat. I went more for a vintage kinda feel, thats why i overdid the plate reverb on the snare too. i like the breakbeat vibe of the drum intro, i should have automated the reverb. And i wanst satisfied with the snare sound, but i liked the vibe, i tried to hyped but it sounded disconnected.
Maybe the snare ambience sample i used messed with the phase, i will check it.
I am happy that you like the bass sound, as i love the bass sound in your mixes.
Thanks.
