Any tips for my mix?

So far, I got a few things sitting where I'd like em, but there's something missing to me. The vocals are really driven, but that was intended and I like the sound. Other than the vocals sound, what can I do to make this mix really pop before I master it. Also, it's very quiet because I'm giving it some headroom before I master it. I forgot to bring up the master fader. So you might have to crank it a bit.

The bass sounds WAYYY too loud, but the tone is great. Try adding more low end to the kick to that it cuts through that thick ass bass line.

Try remixing it this way and see what happens. This really helped me get my mixes sounding better.

I would turn that bass down some, and maybe bring the vocals to the front a bit more(that's more of a taste thing) but that's all I hear after a quick listen.

Yeah, the bass didn't seem so loud at first, then I listened after I came back from the gym and I was like "WHOAAA" haha. I tried ahjteams method. It worked out pretty nice. The bass still is boomy, but it fits nice IMO and the vocals were indeed very quiet. Brought them a bit. Heres the revised version, brought it up the faders for easy listening.

Ready for mastering? Btw, the master faders chain on the mix is a multiband compressor that has all the frequencies bypassed except for the low end. Did it do its job and maintain that low end a bit?

EDIT: I also forgot to mention I brought the lead guitars up a bit to sit with the vocals. I heard that usually works out.

Well I went ahead and mastered it anyway. I think It came out fucking brutal. I'm aware there are a few things I should fix, but this was just a small collab between me and a few friends. Go ahead and pick at it :]

sounds LOADS better dude. Is the reverb on the vocals from your room or did you add it?
