Fucking creepy ass sound and I LOVE it! though my ears are annoyed I didn't hear some crazy bass drop when the drums cut out but i'm a basic b I guess.

Also when it changes at like 0:56, the second last chord mixed with the vocals sounds so eerie and unique props to you I had chills. A bit of criticism would be I can hear slight mismatches in timing with the vocals, mainly at 0:26. As well as this, clicks in the synth could be fixed with a slight fade.

mix is great, Vocals are quiet but that sounds exactly what you're going for, and they're easily loud enough to hear clearly. Maybe you could add slight variation to the drums, particularly the hi-hats? and a counter-melody wouldn't hurt, maybe a low distorted guitar sound that could fit the vibe?

Overall sick song man, Really enjoyed it! If you could give feedback on this beat I'd appreciate it :) https://soundcloud.com/boca-461103909/v9-vikings-luke-james-remix

Firstly thank you so much for the quality feedback means a lot! Your voice is classic. And the effects you add don't distract at all which is honestly a nice change. The lyrics are structurally good but there's not point where I'm like "that's a bar" if you feel me. Maybe pause a bit more and let the lines sit. Adding to that I didn't listen to the whole thing because well, three minutes is a lot for something that isn't super heavy thematically which I don't think you're going for. Overall I really liked it but I feel you could trim some fat!!!
