Grrrrrrrrrrinding
Aha, the title does seem fitting, since the track does sound like a lot of mechanical gears grinding haha.
Although I personally think that the kickdrum can be a bit more powerful, and that the melody can indeed be touched up on. And there are times when the track just feels really empty and thin, maybe it's lacking bass? :P
Otherwise, good job! Maybe with the vocals/lyrics, the track will feel less empty :D
