Many thanks for all the help and suggestions, I've spent some more time on the track. I'm still not calling it done yet, so I would love to get some more feedback before I continue.

As per your suggestions I played around with the chords a bit and got rid of the tempo changes, and IMO it sounds scores better already. However I'm a little afraid that the first part of it may get too repetitive as it's the same one melody looped three times, but I am happy with the last of them before the break, I feel like it adds some good tension... Tell me though, is it not followed up well, EG is it too much suspense for too little payoff?
I know the ending is a little abrupt as well, that's not how I intend to leave it. I'm not entirely happy with the lines leading up to the ending, I feel like they may be a little... canned? (Not in sound but in idea, if that makes sense) So I am open to suggestions as to what I could do with it.
Thanks again so much!
