Wonderful ambiance preceding impending violence.

Europe in the Middle Ages. Morning has dawned, and a vassal lays siege to his lord's stronghold. The mist is still thick as chain-mailed infantry run errands and the necessary preparations. Trebuchets and various siege equipment are being set up, with mounted knights shouting the orders of their lord. As the electronic instrument barges in mid-track, the images of medieval Europe begin to grow staticky and are slowly replaced by images of modern destruction and combat. What can I say? Wonderful ambiance preceding impending violence. You've deviated from your old style, I can tell.

"Scarred"

I'm hoping this one is something nice and dark; that last one was a little bit too happy for me to start my morning off with :P

Nice... percussion? In the beginning? Weird sounds? I dunno what they are, but they sound nifty. Your strings are also nice, but I would have preferred some progression into the chords. Like, maybe only playing the bass notes in the chords first, then eventually, over the intro, build up the chords to their full potential by adding the rest of the notes.

I hear some very nice sounds in the background, very electronic. But, another thing I hear is bad compression problems. At least in your strings. I'm pretty sure strings aren't supposed to waver like that :O Might wanna watch your compressor/volume of your bassy instruments.

Ah, I like your "melody". A sinister sounding bell rythym. Satisfying to me, even though I would really like some percussion in this song. I can understand if there's no percussion in a song when it fits, but this song is just screaming for some heavy industrial beats that would just add to the evilness of this song.

Very nice work, but like in the last song, watch out for quality and for your compression. Make it sound fresh, bro.

Keep it easy;

There's a train driving over my head!

Neato starting sample. It morphs from sounding like a train going post to some weird tribal drums in the distance.

The strings and pad have a nice high quality sound, but I think they could be panned around a bit to suit the "train going past" sound a bit better and create some crazyass aural soundscape. I like the weird chords used as well, very dark and unsettling.

You must have noticed that I love using glockenspiels/bells in my songs, so I was very pleased to hear you using some.

Just looped again...

The strings come in a bit harshly I think, but you completely forget about that once it gets going. You could maybe start the strings on a lower octave and move slowly up to where you are now to allow it to blend with the "train" sound a bit more.

The bells! They inexplicably remind me of the film "Saw", creepy and unnerving. I really enjoyed listening to this song, it inspires a lot of different thoughts and feelings; which for me is the main reason for listening to music!

Awesome Fünf/Fünf.

Atmos

intro very nice, dramatic with the deep reverb and strings.
All gets swallowed up in reverb a little, would like to hear the strings more 'cutting' and the synth delays really hit hard, then pan and fade. The bell sound panned right is nice, then the following sound panned left helps contrast nicely,.(maybe too far panned though, they sound a little distant)
Really atmospheric tune.
Simple but engrossing.

Really nice job

Loved the layering -

The atmo sxf in the beginning were quite unusual - nice bit of reverb, gave it all a little depth.

The strings were nice - the soft edges did a nice job of masking the synthesis.

Some very different chord progressions. Very nice though - I really liked that the progression was unexpected. I think that's just enough to keep someone listening to find out what happens next.

The buzzlines and the 303-like arp set it all up as something other than a symphonic comp. Again, Made me wonder what was coming next.

The bells panned toward the right were nice and simple and added another layer that played nicely with the strings - Same with the pluck that was panned toward the left - both timbres were good and created some nice dissonance against the strings in certain spots.

The only couple of things I would have liked to hear done differently would be to drop the level of the distant bang synth somewhere near where the bells come in and bring them back again toward the end. Also the addition of a deeper, slow moving string would be great - maybe something an octave or two lower than what's there. Like a cello against a violin - you know...

All in all this was a really nice track and it was put together well. Overall mix was great.
