I love the organic guitar sound here. The rhythm of that very first riff from :03 - :06 was a little hard to follow, but I like the percussion you brought in at :11, and it had a haunting, mysterious, and apprehensive vibe to it, almost like an approaching storm. I think the chant-like, spoken lyrics really add to that mood, although they were just a bit too quiet IMO. I also liked the more electric elements you started incorporating at 1:36. The throaty, intense "what do you want from me?" seemed like a fittingly conclusive last line to the lyrics, too, perhaps ironically as, after all, it is a question. Overall, the lyrics are quite clever and topical, and I think it's exceedingly impressive that you made the percussive sounds using a piece of cardboard. I can picture a wandering minstrel with a guitar, seeking shelter under a boulder and looking out at the eye of the storm, asking "what do you want from me?" :D Despite the funky, energetic riffs at 1:50 and thereafter, I think you could've done a bit more with this piece. There's this sense of bottled-up intensity throughout, and I was waiting for almost 3 minutes for the sky to open up and explode with some thundering, punchy and powerful content, but the piece never quite got that far. It would've helped sell the drama and the tightly-wound energy of this track if you loosened it up more at one point. I also think the very ending was a bit lazy and inconclusive. Fade-outs generally are IMO. Still, this is a really cool, down-to-earth, and unique piece here, Ceevro, and the mixing and mastering are quite solid. Keep up the good work! :D

9/10

Really cool. Great vibe, aside from NiN do I also hear a bit of Korn influences in there? Depending on who's taking it that can come as either a compliment or insult, haha, but I used to really enjoy that band some time ago.

Great song with a great atmosphere.
5/5

I just want to show my respect and congrats to your song! It's great!

My favorite thing is the high pitch-bended guitar notes. Man, they have some black magic going on, like Voodoo or something! :D Very good idea
I felt like I'm playing Diablo 2 World 2

And I really respect the DIY people who are making their ways out of the technical problems that they may have because of the level of the equipment they might have. I'm in kind of the same boat with my oldish laptop so I know that could be a real headache sometimes when you're not in a so creative mood or something.

Anyhow, I wish you get in the best 4, or more!
and keep the good work and the creativity up!
and have a nice day! :)

Yes! This is definitely what I want!
I want to rate 5; I want to favorite this.
I want to listen to this again.
I want to congratulate you on making something brilliant ;)

This is the best-produced song I've ever heard from you - great job! (Unless you count that stuff Step did for you lol)

Your guitar playing is, as usual, off the hook. Although the one thing I would nitpick about this song is that while your guitar is amazing as backing during the song, the distorted guitar solos were a little bit... simple? This kind of grungy, distorted atmosphere would be perfect for you to show off your guitar skills in a killer solo! At least, that's what I thought. :P

Everything else is so amazing though. Cardboard is my new favorite percussion instrument. :D This is, like, professional budget music. It's scary to think of the kind of things you could do with full access to other instruments! Good luck in the competition!
