This track was custom written for a buddy's upcoming flash game "Super Nuke Bros. Melee" which will be on NG soon. Spent a lot of hectic time getting down all the notes and getting them played right! I hope you all enjoy my first *REAL* upload! I know it isn't really "general rock" but there really is no "power metal" genre, so don't blam it because it's not entirely "general rock".

I would really appreciate any feedback :)

I like this. It's fast, feels strong, nice thick and full.

Keep up your good work!

Fuck yeah!

This has a great power metal feel to it. Plus the synth guitars don't sound half bad, especially during the leads. The rhythm guitars could use a bit more chunk to them though. The kicks are a little low in the mix for my taste, but I could still make them out. Same with the snare. Overall though, this is a really well written tune and I'll be looking forward to the next one.

Awesome.

Luckily for most, audio can't really be blammed. This is an insanely well written song, especially as it could apply to a video game. I agree a bit with schleif on th the "heavyness" but, other than that, this was awesome.
I remember listening to this earlier and liking it. I wasn't logged so didn't leave a reivew.
Anyway, I like what I hear, for sure. \m/

Thanks for the review! It means a lot coming from BMI! Most of my upcoming songs will hopefully have large and similar scores to this one :)

[title]

not bad at all. has a stable power metal feel, which i suppose you aimed for. i would probably have worked a bit on the tone, but that's basically just since i prefer it a bit heavier personally. the mixing could be improved a bit as well, but what the hell - great work! hope to hear more in the future. keep rocking \m/

AndMyRuneaxe responds:

All the guitars are synthesized on Reason 4, so I suppose that could be the tone issue, I'll make sure to fix it up on my next song! And yeah, I guess my mixing was biased a little to trying to make the bass sounds shine out :/

AndMyRuneaxe responds:

Thanks! I sure hope you do put this and the other tracks to good use for sure! :)
