Rate my new mix?

[Okhhko]

Hey, this is my first post here, but I've seen many threads in this forum so I have some sort of idea how to not seem like such a total noob.

I just finished this new instrumental mix of a song I wrote for my band, and it would be cool if I could hear some feedback.

Guitars desperately need tweaking, and the mix overall could use some glue. Bass guitar seems to be nonexistent.

too much compress

I think the snare need some more tweaking, but thats just my opinion - i like when the snares are abit in the face smashy. maybe if you put up 1 db or 2 and high pass just a little. the guitars also could use some tweaking with eq and maybe lower a db there 2. nice writing though, keep on going with that song for sure!

Thank you all for your advice.
I just bought the Memphis May Fire "Challenger" kit and decided to just redo the whole thing.
Here's the redone track

This sounds pretty muddy, you might wanna take a look at the low end especially on the guitars/bass. The kick could cut through a little more (sounds like its fighting the bass) and it sounds like the guitars have too much low end. Maybe move the high pass up a bit?
