I like the punchy bass and crisp beats at the beginning. The squeaky-sounding rhythmic riff in the background is a little harsh in the treble range, and I might’ve liked the drums to have a bit more presence in the mix with some reverb or something. That said, the melodies at :19 are nice, and the minimal groove at :38 was a nice way of providing some variety. The bridge at :57 was also pretty cool, although I would’ve liked to hear a second climactic section towards the end to tie the piece together a bit more. The sound design is top-notch here, though, and the thick texture and solid mixing are highlights as well. Strong work, CommanderFrost! ^_^
