I like the somewhat ominous yet tranquil mood at the beginning...even when that melody plays later (:58) on top of all those heavy breaks, it still sounds sneaky and calming. XD Also, don't think I wouldn't recognize that same snare from "Zulrah" at 1:18. It's a cool sample, but I'm generally not a fan of artists reusing the same drum samples over and over again (not that I have any evidence to suggest that you've done that with other samples). That said, I love the consistently dark, powerful, and energetic vibe this piece has. The mixing is pretty good, although this piece is very full-textured (i.e., tough to master!). Also, I love the instrumentation here. Those haunting pads at around 4:15 are great, and I love how this piece came full-circle with that melody again at 4:30. Overall great work. ;D
