Epic Win.
damn this one damn badass metal song! it sounds like some holy type of battle is going on, you've got some real killer metal riffs in here. it really has everything I like in a song. some nice lead riffs, fast heavy metal rhythms, badass drums(love the cymbal work!), which flow perfectly with the song....I also love where you include the short quiet bits in here, the first one around 2:00, and the one around 2:30 with the crying lady is a pretty sweet instrumental, love the harps and keys, some really saddening melodies. then you open it back with a lovely riff, and those organ pads are just truly amazing. great for a long battle scene....man, again love those pads, thats what makes metal tracks like this so diverse and a pleasure to listen to. i love the choirs around 6:20ish, and you go right back into metal madness. well, i dont wanna drag on repeating myself any longer, but let me just say, great ending, and i dont know if you intended to do this, but it ties along right with the intro and the lady crying right along 2:30....the beast is scaring the citizens of the town in the intro, one of the children gets killed during 2:30, and in the end the beast wins?
great quality production here. i think the harp and lead guitar could be a bit louder too. I would also love to see a guitar solo bit somewhere in here, that would have been nice.
but man once again, amazing track, you've got some great technical skill and talent composing. i will defintely favorite this because i'll listen to it again.
