I like the dramatic riff at the beginning and the foreboding percussion at :15. The instrument at :40 sounds a bit too cutesy given the ominous chanting in the background, although this piece definitely gives off VGM vibes overall. The mix is very loud and pretty clean, although a lot of the instruments sound pretty cheesy. The texture is pretty minimal for extended sections of the piece, such as 2:15. I like the melody at the breakdown at 2:44, but I think the piece needs a bit more variety towards the end. You hardly vary the main riffs here at all, and the structure seems a bit formulaic after a while. Overall, nice job with the production, harmonies, and atmosphere of this one. My main concerns are the lack of variety, originality in the arrangement and progression, and to a lesser extent the sound design. Keep at it, Gamerthofr26! ^_^

OOOOOOOHHHHH GGGGOOOOOOOODDDDD THIS IS SO GOOD

Really nice fusion of modern electronic and traditional Middle Eastern music. I’ve heard similar things before (ie. Boomkitty), but not like this. That melody is going stuck in my head for the rest of the week! However, this name seems familiar... PS. One of the instruments sounded like the ‘Pharaoh’s Lead’ preset in Logic Pro, which I used in my upcoming DnB song, Voyage.
