guitars are too loud

Yeah I'd say the guitars are a little too loud as well. They're a bit too honky for my taste also, try scooping some of the 400-600 hz out.
The snare has a hard time cutting through too, probably because of the guitars. Try to get the snare's reverb tail to cut through more. I quite enjoy it in the calmer parts of the song.
Also I think you could lower the entire intro a few dB's. I like to get BLOWN AWAY BY THE RELATIVE LOUDNESS. Now it just feels like one smooth wave when the guitars kicks in, never getting stronger nor weaker.
