Wow this is amazing! I really like the second half so much!
This is a quick draft piece i made for NGADM 2019 Auditions from scratch. Made this account separate from my regular one (Lich) for all future non-aggro related project uploads now.
Ran out of time (done in 6 hrs), so this is still in a draft stage. I'll finish it off in the future where I'll massively restructure this.

This would fit right into 80s horror.
Does remind me that I need to finish this old draft off at some point haha
Thanks for checking it out!
Well if this is done in 2 evenings I am afraid of what's to come in this deathmatch.
I would love to give you constructive feedback on this but since I have no clue how and where to start, I am not going to pretend to.
It does sound awesome :).
You're a good producer, good luck this round!
I like the quirky sound design and atmosphere at the beginning, but I wish the piece had a more gradual intro that avoided throwing the listener into the middle of a dense, overwhelming texture like this. I like the somewhat abrupt pause at :35, but the continuation of the dissonant rhythmic textures with the sudden transition at :39 was a little much. I wanted to hear more harmonic depth and melodic content in this piece, as well as more shape in the composition beyond the hectic textures that characterized most of the piece. You clearly have a knack for constructing unique atmospheres and dense rhythmic frameworks, but you also haven’t shown off a sufficient diversity of compositional skills in this piece imo. There are sudden transitions (like 2:24), not a strong sense of direction or storytelling, and several dissonances, even though they fit the thematic content well. Still, I think the dark, industrial vibe of the piece is engrossing, and I applaud the clarity of the production given the extremely busy texture. This piece leaves more to be desired out of the arrangement and composition, but I certainly think you’ve nailed everything else. Keep at it, LD-W! ^_^

I pretty much whacked this together in 2 evenings, so it seemed to of worked alright enough to at least get me through auditions haha. Should have significantly more time in brackets to get something better worked out.
This is the shit
Please contact me if you would like to use this in a project. We can discuss the details.
