i finally get to officially review this one!
i was absolutely blown away by this entry. the contrast between the somber and angelic strings with the distorted synth basses creates a very strange atmosphere, but one that fits perfectly with the setting you describe! each song fits subject immaculately as well. "Birth of an Angel" feels triumphant yet tense for the creation of our MC. "The Fountain of Faces" feels alien and scary, but with the major chords in the back, feels safe and warm at the same time. and the sound design in "Metal Puppet" perfectly sets the stage for the battle between it and the MC.
i listened to this initially, as i saw that it was the most rated at the time, and was super impressed! coming back to it now to properly review it, i've noticed things i didn't notice before, and am entirely in awe of it once again!!! you've created something truly incredible here, and i SINCERELY HOPE that your music either wins, or gets a place on the compilation album. you've seriously earned it :)))
