Part 4: 10/10

But 1:16 is CHILL-inducing, the way the snippet from near the beginning gets cut in half (tempo-wise) to set up the second half of the track. And then the CHANTS I love so much join in the background (as well as more traditional choir samples but I dont care about them as much), and the strings are aiding the rhythm section with their punctuated patterns...and along with the electric rhythm section still going at it the overall sound cant POSSIBLY be more epic now OMGOMGOMG!!!! In fact, this section practically makes me cry, oh the FEELS!!! At 1:33 trumpet samples join in for the climax, and I just LOVE how the dominant at the end of the previous section doesn't resolve normally, but instead we move harmonies a 3rd away instead, and its POWERFUL!!! The rhythm section gets more rhythmic here to increase the intensity. Easily the highlight of this part, though is when the trumpet SOARS to the climax of the phrase (1:39-1:42), and I like how the music delays the tonic a while longer to really finish this thing off strong.

Part 5: 9/10

And then everything drops out save the violins (LOVE the ambience within the silence) to transition to the final tension/release...GREAT final tonic at 1:50, chimes play standard descent-from-climax which is a typical stepwise descent but it works GREAT here, and hey, my favorite chants are back to finish this off! Then it finishes the loop like the opening, but not quite as exciting, though still nice.

As a whole, this music pretty much blows me away with the intense/charming mixture of sounds, thick chords, chants, and dark epicness!
