Oh my lord. This is probably the best DnB I've heard on NG so far. And I've been here for a long while! The chord progressions are tasty as hell, the sound itself is very intriguing and unique, and the pad-work is practically flawless.
One thing I miss, though, is some variation on the drum loop, and I think the intro should be made a little fuller. Some EQ-tweaking and filtering oughta fix that. (But that's just my opinion)
Great track overall! Voted 5/5, faved, and followed!
Take care!

Tanks ya, tanks ya! I've been around myself for quite sometime, mostly hiding in the shadows and uploading here and there.
Ah, the drum variations will certainly be sorted out. I've got some ideas for 'em.
Fuller intro? Hmm... could be, could be. I've been tweaking the mix often so it may just need some more nuances here and there. Or a bit of a soft growler underneath the pads. Ideas....
Thanks!

This song has its ups and downs.
Ups:
- Melody is pretty interesting. It never heads off to places that it shouldn't go, it stays within the frame but remains interesting.
- Drums are kickass.
- The mix is well balanced.
- Breakdowns \m/
Downs:
- Song is, overall, waaay too synthetic.
- Guitars sound extremely computerized.
I always get real picky when it comes to metal and such. I actually think the song was pretty heavy, but the guitar sound is really distracting. This song could've worked totally fine if you added some vocals to it. Without any singing, the guitars pop out of the mix in a way that gives the song this oldschool-NG-flash-game-feel to it (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).
Conclusion: The composition itself was nice, but the sounds that the song is based on are pretty underwhelming and could use some work.
It sounds very synthesized because I compose it to sound similar to psx MegaMan X4, X5, X6, with a modern quality and a powerful sound just like some of my favorite metal bands :)
And yes, you're right, I need to make better guitars. I'll do my best effort :)
Thank for your feedback, I'm glad that you listen n_n

God, this is lovely...
The moon and fog doesn't really blend with the rest of the picture, though. But then again, who has the right to question art?
Good work, lad.

Eh, thanks : ) The moon and fog, I'll admit, were an afterthought, as I did that last -- and a Grimshaw moon works best with a great amount of perspective and detail, both of which this drawing doesn't have.
Still, I'm glad you like it.
P.S.: I'm a lass, not a lad. ; )
