Wow, fuck. This is a file I've had for awhile. I have plans to go back and edit this because this is far from a final mix. It's a very nice take at a neo-classical metal song, however I can't seem to get my hand on the mixing. Dammit! :P I really enjoy the composition on this piece mainly because of the different changes within it and the drums, I got to work a lot with those fills. Anyway, enjoy! :)

"Very good"

I have to agree with Coop regarding the sound of the bass. The drums are too quiet, which is really a shame for this otherwise great song.

I like how you change over from this classical tune in the beginning to a kick ass metal song, you've done a good job here.

Thanks man. Like I said though, I'm planning to go back and remix this whole piece whenever I get the chance, so hopefully everything will sound much better.

I'm glad I was able to achieve the transition of classical to metal. :)

Thanks for the review Haggard. :)

"Good song, but..."

by: Coop83

I think the main issue with this is that the Bass seems to be slightly messed up - it's not loud enough for what you tend to expect of Metal drumming, giving the sound and impression that the drummer is located in a cave, rather than on the riser behind the rest of the band.

Good use of the strings and one hellishly good tempo cannot be ignored and so we are left with a good sounding piece still. The piano cuts through the introduction nicely and it sounds pseudo classical, before the drums and the real metal kicks in.

I can certainly see this being used in various games that have a medieval quality to them, as they certainly could use something foreboding like this for a boss fight, for example. Perhaps it could be looped for that purpose, thus giving gamers and programmers something to work with there.

I'm planning, probably not anytime in the near future, to go back and remaster this piece. Every time I've tried before my computer slows down and I can't work on the piece, so right now I don't have the patience to make this "the best that I can."

I never actually thought of this being used in a game, but I suppose it could be with its theme.

Thanks for the review Coop83! :)

"Rabid changes"

by: SCTE3
date: June 18, 2009

The beat 45 seconds in seemed to change a bit and it didn't feel very much like Heavy metal during most of the intro because I only heard a metal drum beat and then it started to sound like a deeply evil middle age beat and it sounded very wicked overall.

Sounds liek something I would use in a game with a middle age era theme to for a boss that likes to warp around a lot and try act like a god in the game. Sounds very sweet and evil.

Author's Response:

Yeah haha. I was going for a neo-classical metal sound so there's a lot of fusion between elements of metal and classical. The scale is also set in a harmonic minor which creates that darker tone. Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Yeah, the intro was just a build up, allowing me to layer ideas and get down to business with the sound of the song. Thanks for your review and the 5! :)
