You have a decent verse, but it's way too long and there's not enough variety, in my opinion.

Although I can't stand Mortal Kombat or any of the remixes from the movies that were popular oh.... ten years ago, I have to say, you sold me after two minutes of the song. I can't insult your writing ability. You did some really incredible background work on this song and the themes transitioned very nicely. The original stuff in the song I liked the most. I just have an unfair bias against Mortal Kombat... The games lost their essence after 3 in my book, and the movie fad was cool for like... 2 years in my opinion.

it's all cool man :). i wrote all of the original stuff first and decided to add mortal combat a day later. so the original before mortal combat stands alone pretty good. I think i will release the original before mortal combat :). thanks for the great review and compliments, i always appreciate your support, peace brother :D.

The effects and build are great.
I was kinda hoping the piano part would change from time to time, but that constant melody drives the piece along and the effect/beat changes around it keep the song from getting stale. Great job. Great mixing. I can tell you worked on this one a lot. Well done BK.

It's not perfect, but it's heavy as all Hell!! I give you mad props for Metalling over the already excellent Dungeon theme. I suppose, with just a little more practice the parts would mesh better.

2 words that suggest a major improvement to the tune.
Double Pedal!
If you threw in some heavy double pedal/marching snare parts that interchanged throughout the song, I'm sure this would be 10x better. Anyways, the effort is commendable.

I feel that this could've been a lot better with the right instrumentation or a different program. The drum beat definitely could've been more downbeat too. It sounds too funky in the verse in my opinion. Not to say it's bad, I was just expecting different.

Hmm. I don't know about all the vocal samples.... But I really liked the underscoring, (which was the point to the whole song). Nice verse. You had 2 bridges!! That's awesome. The first one was nice and smooth, but I liked the 2nd one at 3:07. That was a very cool bridge. Nice choice of tech-synth and musical intervals there. The polyphony at the end of the song was really nice too, pulling everything together. You're writin' some sophisticated stuff there Bracksta, whether you realize it or not.

Boy has this song got to GO! Haha just kidding.
That was funny after a while, albeit a little obnoxious. Which was probably the point.

It'd sound better with an ending. Or if you were gonna loop it, make the loop make sense.
