Really unsettling mood you paint here with the crazy rhythms. I think it would further improve if you could weave in a melody or theme. You really struck the theme though. Feels like running without a chance for rest. Thanks for sharing!

What a crazy time signature! You kept me on my toes throughout and had me constantly questioning where we were in a way that made me feel like I was running away from something out of fear. I love the high piano parts that seem to float in and out. This track rocks hard! I wish I could turn my volume up higher!

Metal, mental or both? :D

Cool track! I could imagine this working for a boss theme or a shooter like Dusk. I especially liked the chaotic feel you created near the end. There were a few bits here and here where I felt a little more aggressive EQ'ing might've helped some elements stand out a little bit better, but still, very cool track. Loved those little upwards motions you did every now and then. They felt like the protagonist having to quickly step up their game for a little.

Metal o.o that's a new one. Definitely on it's own level for uniqueness. I could see it being used in a game sort of similar to doom. Has boss battle vibes.

Developer

Doom was quite a big influence here. Not as djenty but the general aesthetic and tone was something I had in mind whilst composing this. Thanks man!

Very unique. It was a very strong song. Very cool and boss battle-y!

Sick! Love the textural shifts you created (very Ligeti-esque). Great work!

Developer

Thanks man! There's an etude by Liegti called 'Fem' which specifically was an influence for this
