I feel like that bass groove was doing its' best to embed itself into my cranium.  Very nice remix, quite enjoyable to listen to! :)

What a cool remix!  I was really drawn to the bass in this remix for some reason, it's just really punchy and vibrant.  The varied mix of instruments kept this remix nice and interesting.  The production on this remix was top notch as well, excellent job!

I'm going to quickly close this one out because I think the above three judges did a fantastic job expressing what works and doesn't work about this track. I love the studious approach to iterating a theme in as many different styles as possible, and keeping it cohesive along the way. But the orchestral programming needs a ton of polish to make it sound more like it was performed by an actual orchestra, rather than just a series of instruments being played off of a MIDI file. I will also add that there's some very massive dynamic jumps in terms of volume. Obviously, some degree of that is warranted, given the shifts in styles, but your quiet parts get REALLY quiet, and it doesn't sound intentional. You can still achieve this effect without requiring the listener to actively engage with the volume slider throughout the song in order to maintain a comfortable listening experience. This can start with normalizing the volume levels and automating them in certain parts, and can be further balanced out with some subtle compression on the master channel. There's so many great ideas here, but this feels like a draft rather than a polished production - I do hope we see this back someday! NO (resubmit!)

Was not expecting the operatic symphonic metal vocals, but I am here for it.  This whole production was very powerful and clearly had a lot of fun and passion thrown into it.  Excellent job on this!

Incredibly strong opener, one of the better ones from a rockin/guitar heavy remix that I've heard. The arrangement on this was very well done, I could not tell that this was a scrap brain zone remix until I realllly listened for it, and I've heard that tune a LOT.  Some excellent electric guitar work going on here, very well done!
