Its like the floor caved in and I fell into a boss fight that I wasn't prepared for  😳 I love that sound that is cutting in and out. Cool song!

This is quite the predicament to be placed in! I really like the intro and the tone it sets. I was not expecting the next segment but I quite enjoyed it, I especially like the brass/brassy sounding synths. I have some questions about the progression, just for some perspective, is this one last rave before a brutal death or a dance to escape a collapsing cave (or maybe something else)?

Thx, after recording guitar parts for past  2 weeks I was like fuckit we go electronicdancemusic in this shit, so is how I crumbled down to this rave situation. Had smth like matrix rave technological future type beat in mind so is kinda both, answering to your question, however it feels like I didnt do "tribal" part of it right imo, maybe bit more of porper tribalish rave drums would've done the job.

the sound -- i agree with cloudy, the rock collapsing sound is a very  interesting intro and outro. i also thought that going with this kind of underground rave type of energy is a really cool choice, like that goes hard. the kick sound blending into the rock collapsing is VERY creative 

i was also curious, though. where did you get the image for the cover art?

I love the avalanche in the intro leading up to the main section of the piece. The main part kind of reminds me of Daedalus (the composer for Nidhogg), of whom I am a fan--very cool!
