Your either late or early.. But ohs well...
I don't know what synth you used for the main melody in the beginning, but I can tell you this... I didn't like the 2nd synth that much, but I found it bearable. I loved the random noise in the beginning... What I expected was a DnB song after hearing everything in the opening statement... Instead, I sort of got more of a Misc song, instead of techno... Sure it had Techno songs, but when productions like these get changed quickly into different sounds, it actually belongs more in the misc section.
But putting that aside, there were ups and owns to the whole song. It's change from different styles of sounds goes to quick... Too quick to actually find it likeable if it kept giving a listener no reason to accept a sound and listen in while it amazes you, instead it switches gear and goes into a different realm.
I'd say the best part was the beginning, because not only did you make the song start to sound more of a DnB song, but you also made it sound like Silent Hill... My advice is to actually stick with ONE subject, and not tackle 3 different ones at a time.
You should redo it all, keep the beginning and evolve it into a DnB song.. but you have to make sure you let the audience get into it... Right before the 2nd synth comes in after the bang, you should have a pad/sphere take over and then build the melody and the drums in together... With a pretty stand out bassline.
The only thing I can give you props outside of the beginning is the chimes that were near the end... They were a bit loud, but they were def creative and have potential. That piano at the end also had some potential, possibly because the original had one in it... But seriously, don't be afraid to try something new, but keep it believable also... If it's not believable, then why bother?
