For this one I was really focused more on atmosphere and overall vibe: Basically I wanted to convey anger, hate, and to create a bleak atmosphere. What are your thoughts on the execution? (Mixing, writing and arranging, samples, sound design etc.)

Ok, minor notes:
The intro flows too well, actually - for creating tension it helps to break things up, make it more jarring or unexpected. Just put some more negative spaces in there in such a way that itās not just quantized or symmetrical. In fact, itās probably safe to say you could work subtractively at this point - start removing elements until the point that it almost just stops working and then finalize it.
LOVE that animal growl sample and think it could be used more - but subtly, subtly - like a layer on the bass or something, or some timestretch business.
Overall the tune is dark but maybe not quite as aggro as your description or the name might implyā¦ and thatās totally ok because it works at the level itās at now but maybe think about toning down the packaging as it were.
More variety in variations/parts/sections would make me happy but thatās just me.
Damn, the atmosphere of this is sick. I think it definitely communicates ādarkā very effectively. The anger and hate part of it may not be quite as prominent though. But other than that I really like the atmospheric sound design of this a lot. A lot of interesting reverberations and soundscapes.
Drums really add motion for sure but i think in some places the synths sound a little out of time and hard to listen to 
Mixdown sounds decent to my ears but thats definately a personal thing, i would possibly sidechain the kick to bass if u havent already and make the kick punch more 
Honestly mate this sounds sick. The intro is great and I love the interplay between the drums and the bass. Aside from the fact that itās a great tune Iād say the whole thing conveys the emotions youāre trying to present pretty well. Nice one man, donāt suppose youāve got a DL link for this anywhere?
really like your reese bassā¦could have eqed it a bit differently imoā¦nonetheless great track
Really nice, I would suggest that if this was my tune I would probably try to make more prominent transitions/pauses by emphasising them with additional swooshes or something.
