This intro is a great succinct way of immediately transporting me into the battle, and also works as an excellent way to get the listener into the battle (or back into the battle, as I would assuredly be dying and restarting many times with how strong this boss feels). I really like the string ostinato with the big timpani hits, this keeps the energy moving continuing the fight-like feel. I am so impressed with the quality of strings and chorus you are able to produce! My favorite moment is right after the triumphant horn blast hits and the violins flurry around, taking the brief moment of order and hope, and the boss takes back control of the battle. The loop is very well made too - major props to you for me not even realizing how many times I listened through it until the end. Your music is always so professionally composed and produced and I always learn a lot from listening to the music you make. Excellent job on this- thank you so much for sharing!
