Any feedback on this “anthemic” instrumental would be highly appreciated.

I think the choruses aren't "big" enough. They need to feel overwhelming and inevitable, like all registers opening, a big thing happening; your track doesn't have enough of that. I think it is about the main melody instruments: both the synth and the flutey thing can't carry the necessary volume/width (they're not very good samples anyway, and certainly too thin for this).
I also think the chord change at the start of the chorus isn't the best idea; when the opening chord of it stays the same as the verse, it would feel more logic and natural.

I liked the Tuvan throat singing. I don't know if I've ever heard that in anthemic material before. I very much liked it I'm just not sure if it's what you should use here.

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. I will certainly revisit the chorus ideas and sounds.
Also, thanks to AudiniAudio and google, I now know what Tuvan throat singing is. Looks painful.

Yoga for your epiglottis.
