I think the mix rocks, fits the genre, has a ton punch and power and translates really well.
What more can you wish? To me everything else is just a matter of taste.

Oh, and I listenend in my studio on NS10s, Geithain-mains and headphones.

The snare is loud, yes! And guess what, I like it, because it has a killer tone and on an upper mixing level it's the job of the mixer to highlight the emotional spots or what sound pretty killer and should get a more important role in a mix. That separates an average from a cool one IMO.

The only thing I might have tried is to get more growl and fattness from the bass. I know it's not so easy and a game of inches, as you have to fight with the guitars. But hey it's a cool sounding Stingray :-)
