The track starts with a good combination of drums, creating a dark, march atmosphere. The first 4 patterns sounds almost exactly the same. in the next patterns, along with the drums is added a low string that provides a basic but nice melody. then, there are 2 patterns that sound exactly as the 4 in the begginning except a string fadeout in pattern 9. The next 2 patterns provide some background sounds that fit quite well with the melody. but then, again 2 more patterns like the first 4. the next 2 patterns, are almost completely empty, maybe the artist was going to put something there but forgot.... The last patterns sounds much better. The drums and the strings remains, but a nice piano solo is put on top of them along with the background sounds i noticed earlier, however, this pattern loops 4 times. There is no clear ending to this song, as if the artist didnt finish it. In conclusion, This song has a nice melody and all the samples fit very well together, but the main downside of this track is that it is very repeative, so the listenner will get bored towards the end that actually doesnt exist. Most of the smaples used in this song are 8 bit, however they sound quite ok, with no harsh endings or misharmonics. The artist didnt use any kind of effects, however, i dont considere it to be a major flaw, since all the samples blend very well together .
