The vocals don't mesh with the band too loud & too sep.
The bass drum sounds like someone tapping al aluminium can seal (like inside a Milo tin). I understand that's the way it should though.
THe sung vocal really doesn't belong - sounds like he's preparing to read a narration.
Too much guitar & not enough bass - which also needs some definition.
Have another whack & repost.

Not bad, Needs to be a bit tighter overall.

my biggest gripe is the timing, a song of this genre in my eyes should be really tight. The tempo can vary but every member of the band needs to aware of it.
Mix wise, the kick isnt very pretty maybe replacing it would help.. same with the snare.
Vocals arent very convincing performance wise, its restrained as if you asked him to sing into his mobile phone in a public area.

I think the bass is really muddying the mix
