I guess this is my first review, I suppose I will structure it like a sandwich consisting of good, bad, good.

The Good -

As I was listening, I noticed everything was in key. That's a good start. Your song structuring was solid, pairing up instruments in a timely, tasteful fashion.

The Bad -

The Sound design for the climax of the song was very poor, spending a tad bit more time resampling it may have lead to a solid bass. On of my biggest notes for this track was the mixing! with the mixing of the track being the way it was, everything was competing for the same audible space. In the beginning, the kick was fairly noticeable but by the time the vocals were in action, the kicks were almost completely lost in the mix. It's always good to practice gain-staging on your off time and when you do, take notice in this kind of music the drums should be one of the most prominent sounds. In addition to the kicks, the vocals were also lost in the song, covered up by the synths. Try using this formula in future projects:
Drums - 0db
Vocals - -2db
instruments - -6 to - 10 db
bass - -8 to -10db
Hats - -16 db
This is only a rough idea of where you levels should be after you run a limiter through you song but It can help

The good (again) -

Overall besides mixing issues, this song is musically sound, the chords carry some meaning, the vocals correspond to the meaning of the chords, and the track has pretty good energy.

I sure hope to hear future projects from you but for now, imma have to give this track a low rating

Two monsters out of five.
