I like the ominous mood at the beginning, although the rhythm is a bit square until :23. I like the neat meter at :35, although the rolled kicks at :52 were a bit much. The minimal drop at :58 is a little underwhelming, although the open hat at least helps balance out the bottom-heavy mix. Speaking of the mix, I applaud you for a clear and well-balanced production here, although the compression is a bit heavy for my tastes throughout.
The angry bass at 2:00 is nice, although when paired with the string line at 2:23 the texture seems a bit too busy. The transition at 3:07 came on a tad suddenly, although I like the call-back to the haunting string riffs and male choir of the intro. The frantic beat at 4:03 is catchy, but again very minimal. The breaks at 4:50 were really cool, though.
I think my biggest complaint here is probably the arrangement - it just feels very disjointed. There are a lot of sudden transitions, and long stretches of time with very little harmonic content at all. You seem to switch up the texture every 8 or 16 bars, but there’s not much of a sense of ebb and flow within the phrases themselves. The result is that the composition feels very formulaic after a while.
Overall, the energy, rhythmic content, sound design, and mixing are all very strong here. Some of the compositional details could use some smoothing out, but regardless, kudos on a catchy and compelling track fitting for a cinematic chase scene, Kysertron! ^_^
