2 things that bother me, 1) the vocals 2) the rises aren't epic enough
Is this only a sketch of vocals?
I would use that vocal part you have much more... it's very soothing, has good melody and gives a power to the song. Starting at 0:49, repeat that vocal part again at 1:00 and on with variations until 1:30... And later use it more. If you want It's your song

seems a lot better to my ears, why is it still sounding a bit quiet though?

Here is another version. The sound is clearer a bit, i think. Also added new guitar layer which is pretty cool imo . Drums are still dull.
Edit.. day after... that guitar is not fiting and is used too much... Weird how your brain is tricked that everything is fine after you listen same thing for hours...
Edit 2.. tweaked that guitar a bit, still not sure...
good production skills, whats lacking for me is the songwriting part, need to work on better melodies, progressions, hooks etc

Sounds nice as is, personal preference would have me reach to fill out the bottom end or keep what you have and make it sustain/release longer and be more aggressive, you would probably have to redo the kick. Perhaps you can have a layer of bass, then sidechain it to the repeating bass; something to fill up the space.

Raphie said I keep slammin everything, and someone else said stuff of mine sounds too smashed, so I have done no mastering, just a limiter not set to loud.
Wanting to get the mix there, then master / give it to Raphie.
I made an 'ok' (not great) video, thought I'd post it here for the hell of it (will take it down if label signs it - a label says they've signed it but it's now gone quiet for a few weeks, so who knows...)

hello
IMO the sub is too stereo should be mono, and its not working with the kick.
Perhaps try side chaining the bass to make room for the kick at the moment they are masking each other big time and i cant hear the sub part of the kick at all which means the track has no low end power. I think this kind of music needs low end energy in the kick really
thats the biggest problem imo, i like all the chords and music etc but think you could use more reverb and delay to give more depth
mix wise i think you may need to increase the level of your hats a bit
