Just one word
E-P-I-C! :D
2:42 just gave chills, and the last half of the song sounds like a chase scene.

Eeep. Very video gamey. Could totally imagine this as the intro track to a zombie game. The swells coincide with the industrial sounding beat superbly. There isn't much for a main melody throughout, but I think that works because this piece has a great atmosphere to it. Dynamically, it has lots of peaks and troughs, with periods of extreme silence followed by spurratic intensity...the result is jarring and effective. Once the guitar kicks in, it is as if the zombies have broken through the levy, so to speak. There is so much going on in this song, tons of variation and it is all good.
I think the beat should have maybe kept building intensity at the one-minute mark...I was just starting to get into it. The string patch that took over the melody at 1:30 was sorta weak. It lacked the raw edge that is present in just about every other sound in this piece. I'm diggin the quieter part with the introduction of sound effects and such.
A fair amount of zombie influence. One of the most well-rounded songs I have heard in a long time. Bonus points for working on it a until the end. Great job, this song will contend for the top spot.
My Score: 9.5
This is a very good piece.
I love how you open up with the ambience and horror strings, then it turns into some high-tension COD Zombies theme(Which this should be the new one in my opinion.)
Also in the middle, the music kindof jumps out at you which makes it seem like a zombie jumps out or whatever.
Anyway, great job! I wouldn't be able to pull something like this off even if I would be rewarded with girls AND cash, so good job!

Holy wow, I loooooooove this, amazing ambiant piece. As soon as there's a thumping bass, you basically got me by the BAWLS! Haha! Reminiscent of resident evil 1 (the movie)'s music which I freaking love. I also liked that the song kinda has different sections to it, really cinematic. To me that's a perfect zombie track. I could nitpick but nothing serious enough to take a point from you. Epic climactic ending!
Film quality
I'm pretty amazed at how you did this piece. The quality after mastering and mixing just reminds me of film-level audio quality. The diversity of the tracks and the so very real and excellent-sounding samples is just amazing to me. The melody was amazing, and the entire track itself really set an atmosphere, making me feel something was up, and giving of some feeling of fear, or being desperate.
Great use of volume as well, as usual I can't remember the musical term for that. That really adds to the layer. Hans Zimmer should be calling you any minute now!
