Nice time signature! Very creative vocals, and drumming is very powerful. Mix-wise, I think your vocals should be at least a little louder than the bass. Your bass is pretty darn hot in this track, maybe drop it a tad and push your vocals just a bit louder?

Push the bass back a tad and bring the main vocal up (leave the FX where they are). Drums get lost in spots when the guitars come up. You may want to consider panning the guitars out of center to leave space for the drums.

Weird is good.
 
Love that effect on the opening bass lick. Nice Ian Anderson vibe on the vocal.
 
I hear some distortion in there that may not be intentional. Check your meters during the builds, you may be driving it a little too hard.

Thanks for the feedback. I was kind of uncertain about the balance after mixing a bit too long. Will go back and tweak a bit.
All the best.

Thanks for your feedback. Will tweak some more tomorrow.
All the best.
Edit: Having a bit trouble with the drums on this one.

Thanks for your feedback. The distortion on the louder vocal parts are intentional. They were driven (during recording) through a tube preamp to get the vocal to break up a little. The effect on the bass intro is actually a synth (Rapture), which is still there (lower) during verses.
All the best.

With that title, I wasn't really expecting what you did here. I'm not sure what I was expecting, come to think of it. But it's a really cool song with great interplay between the fundamental riff and the vocal, really good playing and singing and quite a lot of fun to listen to. You have a very cool voice, I agree it's definitely got an Ian Anderson look to it, and that's a really good thing. I like the musical space in this song, and like dcumpian has said, it gives you a lot of opportunity to play with some separation via panning the guitars out which should make it even huger. That's not a real word, is it? :)
 
Oh well, I'll stop now. Thanks for sharing this!
