Not bad! It reminds me a bit of DnB from a little over a decade ago, which is a nice blast from the past.

It's a bit of a personal preference thing, but my main criticism here is the sound choices. I think I would have leaned a bit more heavily into gritty sounds if I was making a song of this type. I think the lack of much of a defined high or high-mid range in most of your synth sounds ends up making the song feel like it's been mixed less than ideally. The dark snare drum you're using here doesn't necessarily help things either, which otherwise may have been able to fill some of the gap. I do see what you were going for, though, and otherwise I can't fault much. ^^

I like the gritty texture at the beginning and the phasing effects. The bass at :24 is very heavy, but the dark mood and frantic drums help keep me engaged. The synths are all really cool, but the texture is a tad minimal and the progression is pretty slow-paced. The production quality is really solid, and the creative filtering work on the grouchy mid-range bass helps keep me engaged. The texture is actually pretty well-balanced, with a decent amount of harmonizing across the frequency range, but overall the soundscape is still pretty thin throughout. By the end, this piece is rather repetitive. Perhaps some more variety in the energy level and harmonic framework would help take the composition of this piece to the next level. Until then, I really admire your drum instruments and synths, atmosphere, use of mixing effects, and mastering abilities. Keep at it, BasiatordeCoronatus! :)

Unique. Sounds a lot like old school drum n' bass or techno, or trance.

Basiator responds:

That's because i'm very under the influence of older music, 80' 90'.

Reminds me of command and conquer
It really takes me back
