It slaps a lot, idk why everybody is sleeping on this entry. Dynamic, multiphase and harmonically complex. I find it kinda lacking in the mix since most of the Instruments drown each other, probably due to most of them feeling mono. Some instruments are clipping and other sound like they've been heavily compressed, so they lack some crispiness (especially drums and bass) but I don't know if that's a problem regarding the samples themselves. The composition is immaculate and the choice of instruments is damn near perfect. Good job.

Made this as my entry into JinZ's NG Boss Showdown Challenge, going for a sort of orchestra/metal/DnB blend, inspired by the boss themes of Omega Flowey (Undertale), Wilfre (Drawn to Life) and to a lesser degree Necrozma (Pokemon). There were some ideas I felt could've been executed better, to be honest, but whatever those better executions may be are out of my reach, I think.
I know Jinz said not to have any kind of tragic backstory or whatever, but I still put in a kinda dramatic touch at times. :)
Might end up keeping this as a NG exclusive, but if I do ever publish it elsewhere, it won't be till mid 2024 at soonest.
In any case, hope you enjoy!

While I can't say I noticed clipping, I will admit the compression was too strong on a few elements, notably in the low end; that much was entirely my fault on the bass, but the drums, I don't think I did anything to cause that.
Regarding composition and instrument choice, NGL, a lot of research went into my approach on that. My choices of key and tempo were based on the same 18th century logic (see: the writings of Johann Mattheson) that've played into many of my musical decisions in the last few years, but in more recent times I've started to study the instrumentation and chord progressions of film scores a little more closely in order to get closer to the feelings I want my pieces to have, with this being the first release of mine that utilized this studying.
In any case, seriously, thank you for the compliment!
