Okay, I barely know what I'm doing in terms of mixing, producing and mastering myself, but I still wanted to offer my two cents, so take all of the following with a grain of salt:
I assume you used a real bass for this. I think it'd benefit from a little more clarity in the high mids/highs, so you can hear the plucking/scratching of the strings, but that's just personal preference.
The vocals do sound clear, but they are often drowned out by the guitars. Did you compress them? Mess around with the EQ of both guitars and vocals so each has its own place in the mix.
In the subject of guitars, they sound a little too fuzzy and sorta... disembodied to me, but then again that's just nitpicking.
The screaming sounds pretty swell, though.
And again, it's just me, but I think the drums would benefit from a little more thump, especially the toms. This could really use some nice, beefy toms.
The overall mix of the instruments, aside from the vocals, is great though. My only issues are individual EQ things.
