Very interesting, some of that opening creepiness reminded me of "The Ring" and the video therein. Then from the forge comes some cool distortion and the lead which is a great sample. Then the sweet guitar comes in. K Praslowicz has obviously touched up in areas, as I can think of some of his previous things being slightly off key, but no hint of that here. Then we're back into that good lead, which feels a tad repetitive, but then busts into a chiptuney kind of drumbeat, which made me turn it down a bit. Then after a while, back into the dark and ominous ambience where it trails off. Creepy.

Overall, a really good song, as I would expect from the collaboration of three musicians here that I like.

Intro was annoying after a while =|, but then it burst out as one of the coolest metroid remixes! The synth theme is awesome and the guitar is lovely.. brilliant, but the intro could've been made a litte more ...how should I put it... not so high and stretched. I play all songs on my two 500W speakers and the sound pierced through my skull like swords.

This is how Metroid 6 should begin. I totally agree about the flashback/dream thing. This is my favorite Metroid mix yet.

This is starting to sound like a series.

GooooD stuff..like a belated x-mas present? i kinda dont get the extra synthy trippy feel around 5:42 and so on..the mix is kinda..obese? i dont know..its good..just...gives me this weird thought of..that was it? too short and fat if you ask me..overdone with synth etc...but still worth the download...

The intro actually did its job excellently. With most intros, I find myself bored immediately and waiting for the main chorus. However, this time I was sucked into the intro, and sucked into the song itself; completely immersed and writhing in anticipation for the chrous. And the chorus blew me away. I am a sucker for guitar. I like guitars. K Pras is amazing. Hooray.

Default great song!

Wow. What a great way to end the year! This is an awsome mix. It's very professional sounding. The intro, while still amazing, drug on a little too long, and got a little too repetitive. But that's about the only complaint I have with this fantastic remix. Great guitar, great sounding synths, great overall atmosphere. I love it!

Holy fuck, what an awesome song.

I have to agree that K. Pras is getting exponentially better at wringing good sounds out of his geetar with every mix. The wall of sound reverb wash in this mix fits perfectly.

COTMM's ambient stylings continue to give me the creeps, as they should.

I'm guessing the tightly controlled breakbeaty sound that comes in at 3:36 is Beatdrop's doing. Again, great stuff.

There's nothing about this mix that I don't like. Nice work.
