Bump. I am genuinely interested in hearing some feedback on this track.

Since noone else commented I'll give you my "I have no idea about music production"-opinion about it.
In general, I believe the track is a bit too repetitive, it could use either a different melody interacting with your main one, or a smoother buildup.
I feel like the difference in synthsound around the first minute is too small compared to let's say 4.30. Especially cause you seem to increase and decrease (don't know the production terms ) your synth's "sharpness" in the 4th minute instead of letting it go full out.
In the beginning you have some kicks which are standing completely seperate but you don't really use that pattern later on, so I get the feeling they don't add anything. They might be used again when you introduce your sharper synth during minute 2. At around 2.32 you introduce a li'l sound in the background indicating the upcoming kickdrum, but you abandon it at 2.44. You could use that background sound and expand it to make the transition to the 3.05 part more smooth since now that seems a li'l sudden.
Hope this is somehow usefull to you

Hey Helion! =)
I would definitely work on the mixing with this track. Some sounds need to be louder and/or softer than others. The kick IMO needs to be louder and has to have a bigger "punch" to it. If you are going to raise the level up of the kick, you will also need to add some side-chaining "action", which will add a better groove or feel to your song.
Other than that, I love the melody and drive of the track.
