The mix is quite well balanced and has a warm sound too it, good work there. The one thing that I did notice about your mix here is that during the bigger moments it never really seems that big, there's no real moment of an explosion of sound, it's like riding a roller coaster that only climbs.
From 0:52 there's a really nice sounding build but when it reaches the apex at 1:30, it just seems to stay at that one dynamic, not so much volume wise as texurally. When I mixed this track I found that adding in a distorted drum track and blending it in alittle louder than the default drum mix and driving the mix abit harder into my saturation and compression on the mix buss helped change up the the climaxes of the track and make them seem more extreme and drastic. Adding some reverb to those tremelo picked guitar and adding the other track of that on the right side would also help push those moments out more as well. If you want to hear what I was talking about, here's my mix: http://discussion.cambridge-mt.com/showt...?tid=15418
On a more technical note, the kick and bass seem to be fighting a touch. The bass is quite round sounding and full in the lows and the kick doesn't have much attack to it, more of a "pillow kick" sound. It makes the low end a touch loose and undefined rather than punchy and tight, I would either make the kick more aggressive with a more beater heavy sound or use a distortion and shave 80 Hz and below with a highpass filter on the bass. For those bass "solo" moments like in the beginning of the track or to make it stand out in the mix abit, a chorus effect blended into the bass can be quite effective as well.
Apart from those hiccups, you've got a good sounding mix Javier!

Mixing is way more art and soul than science. We don’t really know what we’re doing. We do it because we love music! It’s the love of music first. Eddie Kramer
