Hard to call it definitively without hearing the exact two sections back to back, but the drop in Proxima at the 1-minute mark probably hits harder if you mean pure immediate impact. The Genesis moment at 4 minutes may feel bigger in build-up and payoff, though.

Why Proxima might win

  • Faster payoff.
  • Usually a drop feels harder when it arrives earlier and more suddenly.
  • If it has a cleaner sub hit or sharper drum switch, that can make it land more aggressively.

Why Genesis might win

  • Longer tension build can make the release feel more dramatic.
  • A 4-minute mark drop often feels “earned,” which can make it more satisfying.
  • If the arrangement strips back right before the drop, that contrast can be huge.

My read

If you’re judging by raw punch , I’d lean Proxima. If you’re judging by cinematic payoff , Genesis could take it.

Proxima = more instant.
Genesis = more dramatic.

TL;DR: Proxima at 1 minute for harder hit, Genesis at 4 minutes for bigger payoff.
