Epic Boss Music Theme: Pnévmata Tou Skótous (Spirits of Darkness Battle)

made this epic boss battle theme. Enjoy. Would love any feedback.

Sounding good. Though I do wish it had more melody

I made a v2 with the following differences:

String library has been changed

The piano has been changed to a softer tone and reverb was added to fit the overall hall effect.

The Horn section was increased in volume in the third section of the piece.

I'm not sure but the mix just still feels messy and not well done. Any tips on how to mix the piano brass strings and percussion to all have a decent volume to where none of the sections are drowning out others?

I agree with @AngelCityOutlaw that the melody could be brought out more.  Especially when only the piano is on the melody it could be brought into higher relief by increasing the velocity of the top notes.  I imagine it would have much more of a shimmer and sparkle with that kind of emphasis.  I like how you start the melody in the mid range of the piano, then go up an octave and then go up another octave before returning to the original tessitura with more intense orchestration.  Especially when the piano is in its highest range bringing out the melody will be most effective.  I like the denoument at the end that ends the piece on a more serene note.  Thanks for sharing!
