You have way too much going on, there's weird panning on things (like the kick sounds panned left).

Work on getting sounds to flow into one another and creating space in your mix... it sounds muddy atm.

To add to what has already been said, I think the arrangement is the issue here; Your have rock guitar like sound playing at same time with all those synths. Keep in mind that usually in modern dubstep (tearout/brostep/whatever) your growls and other synths fill the same frequency ranges that guitar and vocals occupy in rock music. In the clip you posted your synths sound thin because they are fighting for the space with that guitar sound. Also there is too much activity in low end/low-midrange, again, I think it's the guitar (maybe something else too?).

those guitar sounding synths are actually just massive, i will replace them with real guitar soon. I do understand that there's a lot of going on at the moment but I haven't resample anything yet so I will do some big changes later. I'm still confused on those fighting frequencies though. so what do you guys think I should take out? and what should I keep? its muddy probably because all of them has a sub-bass and i boosted the low all the way up for all them -___-

^This. Check some tutorials how to high pass stuff to make room for the kick and sub (assuming there is a separate sub bass layer under all that mud). As for individual sounds, nobody can tell you what sounds you should remove because it's all about the taste.
