im not a big fan of video game cover songs, but this was awesome
i loved the sound of it, and everything was well mixed, although it seemed a little to centralised for a song of this type (more panning, little bits here and there) Drums are epic as always.
first have sounded really dope, what were you playing with, a slayer or something more electronical?, only flaw with the first half is it lacked a full beat to follow along with, just cool sounds to keep me going, then when it came in for the last half, didnt sound quite as gool, but went as a song, which is what more people would like more.
also, the epic hits you have every once in a while.. not just in this song, but other songs of yours as well, is it just a reverse snare sliding into a regular playing snare? they always make me so pumped, i really wanna know.

Wow, good review man!
Ok, the synth guitars are a layer of slayer guitars, bass with HEAVY distrortion and Sytrus Inferno guitar synth. I didn;t want to pan anything out in this because I do that a lot besides the drums are already well panned. The intro and synth drums I used Native Instruments Battery 3 which are just amazing. The lack of intro beat was just intentional i don;t know what to say. I think the hi-hat brings it into the tom roll just fine.
Oh the epic hit? Reverse synth snare playing into a full double snare hit in EZDrummer and layered with that is a reverse bass hit in C playing into a full bass hit in B (or A I forgot). They make me super pumped I can't get enough of them. Sometimes though I go overboard when I find a new cool sounding "move" and sometime over use it.
Thank you for your questions and comments! Come by any time and as always...
Rock on! \m/>_<\m/
