The drums really get buried in this track except for the cymbals and the snare. Maybe a touch less reverb would be good too, it sounds like the whole song is being played in a cave away from me at times.

Good vibe though, this isn't normally my style of music, but I found myself wanting to listen to the whole thing anyway. :)

I'd be tempted to try a slightly different arrangement.
Your second section, the power part of the intro set me up with an expectation of something a bit more Shoegaze, but then it goes into the first verse which is chuggy. This is actially a step down in power. I'd use the power shoegazing section later as its a change of tone from the rest of the song, I'd get to the first verse sooner. For the chorus - the (still) angelic vocal style sits oddly with the power riff, this tells me the vocal needs to be resung more shouty here to match the tone and give this chorus a uniform personality. Keep the angelics to the verse, and diferentiate the vox style in the chorus.
