Excellent melody and the energy is really THERE!
I'm really liking this. It has tons of energy, but that's not all it has to offer. The melodies and each synth line is well formed. Has a touch more of an orchestral feel than I'd like a few places toward the end. The ending was pretty forced, but whatchagonnado with NG's time restraints? If it were longer, there would be more time for builds. I'd say make the longer one if you haven't already and take some time to build up those riffs and drive'em home. There were a few times where the build started but didn't quite hammer it home...such as where the ethnic stuff came in. That might have been a better place to get in another louder refrain. But altogether...very cool.
