"Pillars" - Electronic/Metal Fusion (Seeking feedback from electronic musicians)

[DusK]

So, today I threw together a hopeful for the UT4 soundtrack. I'm pretty proud of it.

However, I'm no electronic musician. That genre in particular is very new to me. So I'm looking for feedback to make this track better. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT 2: Version 3 posted.

Snare is totally lost during the heavy guitars! And that "bassy synth lead" (0:38) is kinda loud overtop, maybe compensating for how loud/present the rhythm guitars are? If you're having a little trouble getting everything loud enough or to sit right, try pulling back on the max volume a little bit, cause it seems a little loud, and that might be making it tricky to get the mix down... maybe. 1:15 introduces a lead synth where something seems off, maybe it's too dry, or too upfront?

Good crits. I can see pretty much all of that stuff now.

I'll have to disagree on the snare being " totally lost during the heavy guitars" -- it's coming in loud and clear on every setup I have -- but I guess it couldn't hurt to cut the guitars a little bit more where it comes in.

Might just  be a taste thing with the snare volume, I couldn't hear it as well on my other headphones but I can hear the punch of it on these higher end headphones. It definitely seems a little lower than i might do so i'll just say it's a taste thing.
