These tempo changes are really cool and well executed! The vibe's on point as well, and the song is quite varied. My only nitpick is with some of the dissonant melody parts but other than that is a great song!

I tried to give the song an oppressive, dark atmosphere that matches up to the design of the monster. I focused on three aspects: Evilness, Aggression, and an ominous air of elegance/divinity. These are three things that I tried to convey in the track. Here's some lore text to SET THE STAGE: You arrive at your destination. You stand before a great chapel. This is the end of your journey. You can feel the unrelenting malevolence of an evil presence within the hallowed structure. The cultists have beat you here, and the ritual is underway. You enter the building and find that you are too late. A great stain spreads across the chapel grounds. A portal is manifesting, threatening to swallow the entirety of the building like a hungry ocean. The path has been opened. The evil one is back. Yuwal emerges from the darkened depths beyond the portal. Now is the time to take a stand against evil. Only one will leave this building -- You, or Yuwal.
