I finished my new track, I mixed drumstep, dubstep and metal in one track. Any opinions?

Honestly, I found the entire mix to be really underwhelming.
There's not nearly enough low-end in general for dubstep, metal, or drum 'n' bass.
Your kick and snare sample are high and weak sounding.
The "oh yeah" sample was kinda cheesy, which would have been OK, but you repeated it way too many times. Along with that, the arrangement was a bit repetitive and tame as well.
I can see what you're going for here, but it really needs some work.

I thought the synth in the first section was a little harsh sounding.
The kick in the section is too loud. By a lot. Too much click in the attack.
To me there just wasn't enough going on in the song. Lot's of small sections repeated too many times.
I liked the distorted rhythm guitar sound. Decent sound.

Are you trying to go for a sound like Ministry or something? I'm not really familiar with dub step or drum step but it seemed very repetitious and simple so I'm guessing that is how it is supposed to be, like Techno or something. Is the "bass line" just one low note all the time? I really don't have anything for input I guess, sorry.

For monkeymanx's reference reference: drum step (aka Drum 'n' bass) Pendulum 'Witchcraft' - YouTube
Dubstep (or brostep if you want to be a genre snob
) SKRILLEX - Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites - YouTube

VomitHatSteve: not exacly
I would say that this is a better match:
drumstep: Skrillex - Reptile
dubstep: Knife Party - Centipede

See, now I'm confused. If you type "drumstep" into Wikipedia, it takes you to "Drum and bass", and I've never heard anyone call Skrillex DnB before.
I think we can all agree on KCEarl as a good baseline for dubste though.
