Ominous. I was going for a "Runescape-style" song here.

This is pretty good... the lead melody was a tad repetitive, and it might have been a good idea to use different instruments to take the lead at different times to change things up a bit.

Thanks for the review! I was really interested in atmospheres at the time, and this is kind of a 'mood' piece. I hadn't been making music long at that time, really so the lack of quality really shows.

Ominous indeed.

Nice choice of instruments at the start; the high woodwind and the sparse percussion really help set the tone straight off.
The bells were perhaps a little too sharp or a little too loud. But that's perhaps getting a little nitpicky.
The harp at 0:46 is a nice extra little bit of colour, and they helped keep up the pace for what is a relatively slow piece.
In short, there's too many things I like about this and not enough faults I can point out. The latter being an odd concern, but anyway.
The change in harmony 1:08, and then again at 1:43 is well done; again, setting a very dark mood, if the instrumentation wasn't enough.
And what's a foreboding piece without some choir sounds?! I thought they were a touch too loud at 1:17, but apart from that, they're once again a good addition.
The percussion at the 1:32 mark, where you have the three hits in quick succession, I thought might have been a little excessive. Or at least to have them all at the same noticeable velocity. but that could be just me.
And the ending was good. In all, my only little bone to pick with the instruments was the bells, but apart from that it's a nice solid piece. Does exactly what the title promises. 5'd, 10'd.

Thanks for the interesting and informative review!

I played runescape for a hot minute...

till some ass holes chased me around town and i had to run around some farmland eating their cabbage all day while no one helped me.

midway through indigestion I realized there was no god...

Only sweet delicious cabbage...

By the by, creepy and awesomer than the last. Reminds me of the ps1 game medieval!

Stargenx responds:

Thanks! :D
