Hey,
I think the bass line is honestly terrible. I know your intention to make a fat low bassline using some bass guitar sound. However it sounds way too mechanic. Maybe you change the pattern or the bass sound to a more sawtooth like bass.
That acid line in the second half of the tune is also way to static. Some filter action, volume automation. Like the bass, its droning way too much on the same note, same level, etc. What you need is a human touch and dynamics.
Coming from a metal background myself, I see what you are trying to do, transporting these kind of monotone death/black metal riffs into Psytrance and maybe try to give your sound a "wall of sound" character. While I really like this idea, unfortunately I think you failed - your Bolt Thrower Remix was way better.
But keep working, I think you are onto something interesting here!

Hey thanks for checking out my track man! I greatly appreciate it!

As far as the bass is concerned, yes, it does drone a bit too much...the basslines have not more than 4 notes, but it still sounds like the same note is rumbling on.

Regarding its sound,I wanted it to sound organic, I wanted the bass to play the role of a background texture.
My intent was to have the song arranged like a metal track.
I wanted to create something energetic with a "bad-ass" kind of a vibe to it, with metal influences.

However, after hearing the song over and over, I do feel that my selection of synths could have been better, like the part around 3:50 sounds pretty cheesy :D and the hi-hats overall sound way too ringy.

Thanks again for your feedback.:)
