Epic

Heeeeeeel yea

This is personally my NGADM winner

I like the intensity at the beginning. The chord progression and harmonies are pretty good, too. Despite some heavy bass, the mix holds up pretty well. Some of the synths in the piece sound a bit cheesy, like the lead at :32. The mix is a bit over-compressed, but doesn’t have a particular point that’s overly harsh or distorted. I like the dark mood, progression, and atmosphere overall, but I think my main problem with the piece is that it lacks dynamism in the composition. The melodic content could’ve been stronger, and you don’t ever really vary the main riffs at all. Harmonically, the piece is a bit underwhelming, with the moving notes mostly consisting of some grouchy pads and repetitive bass riffs. It’s a short piece right now, so I think it’s worth it to try fleshing out the composition a little more and adding depth to your harmonies. I’d encourage you to keep working on this piece. Keep at it, i9incher! :)

sick ideas bro, it just so loud and the quality suffers from a major amount of audio degradation by pushing the master way to loud. People will play the song loud if they want, i suggest remastering it since it should be a simple fix.
