Love the build up and percussion, you've definitely got cinematic music composition down pat. Well done!

I like the cinematic vibe at the beginning. The vocals were a nice touch, and the strings create a lot of drive and anticipation. At :24, I think the strings could sound a bit more distinct in the mix, though. Still, the percussion is crisp and loud, which is a good sign that the mixing is strong overall. The piece lacks some direction until around 1:20, though. For a cinematic piece, there’s not a ton of phrasing and shape. The piece was very suspenseful without offering much in the way of emotional heights. At 1:38, that powerful brass melody really takes a back seat. That’s a missed opportunity to really let loose the tension that’s been present for the entire piece so far. The section at 2:53 sounded more like a climax than anything else, but you still could’ve done a better job of building up to it using dynamics and phrasing rather than simply layering instruments on top of each other and having an occasionally sweep or crash. I think the sound design and mixing are really strong here, but the composition needs a lot more flavor and shape to hit it home. Keep at it, Omson! ;)

Epic.

Good, totally worth 5 stars, like the first track

This is the feeling of the music I want to make most.
I love music in that atmosphere.
