Perfect!
Awesome piece dude. It is definitely quality and has high production values. Speaking of production values, for me the piece is reminiscent of Immediate Music's work they do for movie trailers (check them out).
It has a really good progression, the choir is sweet and the ending bells are haunting. It could work well with a trailer for a movie.
Credit for high quality sounds have to go to the East West plugins, they're awesome I'll be sure to check Immediate Music out when i get the chance.
Tks for the review!

thank you, this will come in handy 4 my global warming adverts. for this you get hi5!!!
an excellent song
this is an outstanding song. the beginning especially was my favorite part. it fit really well with the feeling of danger and an impending doom. the beginning of the ending was also very well done, from about the 1:50 mark onward to the 2:06 mark it really just made me feel that it was all just right down to the wire and time was running out. however as you get more into the song it kind of deviates from your fear and leads you to think that the guy is actually winning. which, i don't believe that you want. From about the 47 second mark onwards the song starts to get way too happy, which really doesn't make much sense with the story. From there, at least until about 1:12 needs to be much darker. however not slower. in fact you could even make it a little faster. the drums especially are kind of slow throughout the entire song, with the exception of the part between like 1:45 and 2:06. remember, this guys heart is practically exploding, he is just booking it to get to that room in time. from the 1:12 point until about 2:06 needs to be much, well, BIGGER, if you know what i mean. I also kind of dont like the voices. they dont really do it for me. just an opinion though. There needs to be much more going on. you should probably add a really low base track, and i would suggest that you also add a high track. you have an excellent middle track with the strings and it sounds really good, but it is kind of empty all by itself and i think it would sound much better with a little bit more UMPH you know? then when it drops i didn't really feel the despair there. I would think that you should go much deeper, maybe add another instrument in just for that part. also like a hollow boom noise would really highlight the surprise in that particular instant that the hero is feeling, overlaid with something else would just be awesome. then i would elongate the part at the end. because when i read your story i really imagine him bursting into the room at about the 2:00 mark running across the floor and then jumping at 2:03 with his knife out yelling, the entire six seconds between 2:00 and 2:06 would be shot in a way so that there would be camera cuts to a black scene and then back to the actual scene so that it played in equivalent slow motion. an example of this is at the end of the Avatar trailer. there would then be a shot of him about to come down and behead Artanis and smashing into the invisible wall at 2:06. the music would then take a dramatic turn as Artanis slowly turns around with a smirk. the high notes there really don't work. i think that you were better off with just an eerie silence as the church bells peal out the doomsday hour. Artanis would then say the line about it being too late. then just as the giant demon emerges from the abyss the music would spike up into a glorious finish as the hero's vision fades to black. I think that this is a really amazing song, there is lots of improvement that could be made, but that is true for everything. overall great job.

I agree with you about most stuff. I agree that this does sound a bit empty, but the overall depth was something i was working on at the time (i still am). As to the voices, i know now how to utilize them better, as at that time i'd just got that new vst and was a little noobish at it (if u get what i mean :D)
As to the rest, it all makes sense and even if i dont always agree completely with you, everyone is entitled to his opinion and i will therefore keep it in mind for future projects.
Also, not to sound to bitchy, but it would help the person ur reviewing if ur reviews were paragraphed. It also makes you look more professional and helps the user understand exactly what ur saying. If you want an example on how to paragraph reviews u can check out Supersteph54's reviews. ;)
Tks for the review!
