This track is a booger, man. The only reason I kept on with it, even though I'm not really good enough (yet 
) for this kind of challenge. This is great with a few reservations, man. Great work with the reverbs, especially on the loops, and great work letting all that interesting synth content come through with everything else that's going on.
Awesome work with the acoustic guitars, too. Nice and understated and it seems like you got all of the troubling resonances under control. I obsessed over that stupid part for hours trying to make it big and grand, but I think burying it as a texture as you have is the best approach.
Your SFX build up is amazingly powerful. And the drop afterword was a brave but effective choice. Awesome man.
Only comment I have is that there's something in the way the raw vocal tracks were modulated (in stereo, no less) that makes them very brittle, especially on the side channels. That's way Niells suggestive a broadband dip in the pain frequencies on the master fader, but perhaps getting it under control at the source could work, too, if you prefer. I found it easier to get the results I wanted by narrowing the tracks a touch.
Great job, your version and Voelund's are the best I've heard yet. Bmullen's take is a really good one, too!
P.S. Voelund is quite obsessed with that major chord! He's right, but it's still hilarious
