Where's the dubstep/drum'n'bass elements? The clap sound and really weak synth cant contribute to that. Just sounded metal-ish to me.
 
Guitars too far forward and that things is squashed to hell that's where I'd start
 
What is that high pitched hum? That really cuts through the mix and just sounds like something's making noise in your signal chain?

I can hear where he went for the dubstep thing, Rockonin. It's around 0:50 when the snare builds to the drop. The slow kick snare pattern is dubsteppy, but the rest of the drop sounds more like metalcore. I didn't hear anything I'd consider DnB. Granted I'm not an expert, but I get the sneaking suspicion that a lot of people just group DnB and dubstep together because they're both trendy, "heavy" electronica.

I got a little tired of the incessant crash cymbals throughout.

It seems like you've built a decent baseline* for a song, but there isn't really a hook or lead instrument for it to support.

Otherwise, my only mix critiques are that hum I mentioned before and the fact that YouTube's audio compression isn't great. You'd be better served hosting it elsewhere.


* note: not "bassline". I meant what a wrote in case anyone gets confused.
