"Beast" immediately throws you into a high-octane, industrial-tinged soundscape. The opening is a raw blast of distorted synths and a relentless, driving beat. There’s an undeniable energy here that’s infectious; you can practically feel the adrenaline pumping. The track has that kind of sound that works to picture really well.
Compositionally, the song relies heavily on its rhythmic intensity and sound design, for example, the heavy use of distortion and glitch effects. While the melodic elements are relatively simple, there's something to be said for the sheer impact. The structure is straightforward – a build-up, a drop, and variations on that theme – which is typical of this style, but at times it lacks a bit of dynamic interest.
The production quality is quite solid. It’s definitely loud and in-your-face, which suits the style, but I think there’s room for improvement in the mix. The low-end feels a bit overpowering at times, and some of the higher-frequency elements could use more clarity. Maybe some subtle EQ adjustments could help balance the overall frequency spectrum and give each element its own space.
Emotionally, "Beast" evokes a sense of urgency, intensity, and raw power. It’s the kind of track that would work brilliantly in an action sequence, a high-stakes video game scene, or maybe even a particularly aggressive advertisement. I can picture it accompanying a car chase, a futuristic battle, or anything that needs a boost of sonic adrenaline. But it has a narrow use in media projects, because of its relatively monotonous mood.
Compared to industry standards, "Beast" delivers on the energy front, but it could benefit from some refinement in the areas of dynamic range and sonic variety. It’s got the raw ingredients, but a bit more polish could elevate it to a truly professional level. It’s a good starting point, and with some tweaks, it could become a real weapon in a producer’s arsenal.
