I like how you chose to convey the theme and I love the distortions you used. I can fully imagine the environment you were trying to create, and I could see this fitting very well into a cinematic!

For a bit of criticism, I like what you did with the metallic hit, the rhythm you used does especially well for building tension, but I personally find the stereo positioning of it a little disorienting on headphones. I think there's multiple approaches you could take (depending on if you'd rather emphasize balance or emphasize panning), but overall a good option could maybe be an EQ cut around 350-600 hz (and possibly 700-1200hz) to ease the louder areas while still keeping the intensity and the width. But also, I want to respect that you didn't have much time to make this track so there's bound to be things that don't get addressed, and I think overall you did well achieving what you wanted to create and I especially like how you conveyed intensity here!

Hey! Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a detailed, thoughtful comment :)

By "disorienting", do you mean that it sounded too wide? Definitely will look into fiddling with the EQ to ease the louder areas, thanks for the tips!

Yes, I would like to say the wideness, but more so the volume of the metallic hit at that wideness. I do want to emphasize subjectiveness too though, since I tend to like having my percussions pretty narrow. I am happy if you've found some of this helpful though!
