I really like the detuned pianos starting off the track- they set the stage for a creepy mansion-like setting. The blistering drum pace got my heart rate racing which makes me think this would the perfect track for an epic chase scene in a game. I love the creepy middle part with the distant dissonant bells and the unsettling sound effects. It left me as the listener without any idea of the direction we were headed. Definitely fast-paced and I’m a fan of the xylophone melody (and I like that you layered it to also give it that detuned sound). Overall great job and thank you for sharing!

This is my favorite type of music. The super-fast action music that sounds weird, but I still love it.

I think this song is going to be one of the winning songs here, so give yourself a pat on your back...bone. (Hehe) Only thing is that at 1:00 that creepy part, I thought that was a little strange but overall, very epic good song!

DAMN! I'll share you my experience:
At first I heard some dissonances and thought "oh no, amateur incoming who thinks he should just throw dissonances everywhere." 0:12 hit and I was getting suspicious, "this ain't a fast song." 0:20 hit and DAMN! That beat dropped and I loved it! The melody is a tad bit weird, but nothing too crazy. The part from 1:00 was... delightfully weird! It feels really unsettling, hard for my brain to grasp. Perfect for a song like this! And then the build-up towards 1:32 again, where my head could not stop banging to the song (even the second listen xD). And the ending from 2:00, speeding up the entire song with added screams ending in.. nothing, is funny and great. Overal, I love this!!

Oh, and congrats on winning the jam! You have the Rank #1 in the 'Spookiness' category too, I can definitely see why xD. Enjoy it ;)
