Witchfinder. This title draw my attention first... When listening at Your song I realized, that I felt into that great atmosphere You created with the massive deep bass and the other unusual effects. The dark middle-age horror story just appeared in my mind... So that's a strong side of Your tune. You could not accomplish this without those samples of course. They are very good, I hope original :) Seems that those men in the end of Your story catched the witch... there was something burning, ehmmm :) OK, I told about positives, now I mention some weaknesses. The whole song is kindda monotonous. This was an intention in this case I know... but whether You were anxious You could figure up how to make it more interesting, variable, and dramatic. There is the same part repeating over and You know, people with less patience will say that this is just a boring tune. The truth is that the musical content of Your song is very low, but You showed You can create a pretty good atmosphere.

What's this? Jungle Horrorcore? It's some scary weird stuff - I've never heard anything quite like this before! There's not really a melody to this tune, but the atmosphere is intense. It's hard to come up any changes to this tune. It's simply too special and unique :) I find it quite original and the form is also ok - except the end, which is somewhat misplaced(?). The samples are ok - the jungle-beat sample(s) could perhaps have been a bit more original. If there were a melody or some melodic changes in the tune, I would've been able to rate it higher.

Sorry, but I had to turn down the volume on this one, so as not to kill any elderlies with weak hearts around the neighborhood. How many hertz does that bass sample go down to? So, I guess the samples are good quality. The song has a pretty good structure, breaking up the repetitive parts. Still, it's a slight bit simplistic, but not bad.

This one sound great. Jungle drums. There's no lead melody. Just drums and mysterious bass and strings. Good samples. Original style.
