My goal was to make a blistering synth-rock epic worthy of summoning a god. What do ya'll think?

If you're going for epic, I might add more changeups.
The slowdown and then speed backup up towards the end were my favorite parts. Outside of that, it's a lot of cycling between the same two chords at the same general volume. The key with a good epic is dynamics; it needs to take you on a journey!
Sounds good! I like the stuff going on in the verse between the guit? and synth and the smooth melody. Synth sounded a little high endy on my monitor. Vocals sound nice, when you go to the higher range the volume jumps a good bit.
I was thinking the same thing about dynamics...this hits hard right from the start and barely lets up, it seems at odds with the smooth melody to my ears. Talking heads did repetetive droning stuff yes, but the parts were spare and left space between, this is full on full volume non stop playing. Also seemed to lack in the bass and sub-kind of mid high hyped sound.
But the real reason i listened is because i'm a big fan of "Dune" and has anyone pointed out that you've mispelled your reference? The spice is called "MELANGE" The spice extends life, the spice expands consciousness, the spice is vital for space travel!
Very good job , I really liked the contrast between the high energy backing and the "very nicely done" laid back vocals. Enjoyed it . mark
