One of my favorite compositions ever. I had to upload this as soon as I was finished creating it, just because I'm that in love with this song. (I've been listening to it damn-near every chance I get. It never gets old for me hahaha)

This is a boss theme for a game I'm a part of. I can't give any details though, as it's important to the storyline. Basically, it's a dark boss though, so the theme of the song is pretty solid.

The inspirations for this song are as follows:

Michiru Yamane- "A Toccata of Blood-Soaked Darkness"
Yoko Shimomura- "A Battle to the Death"
Bill Brown- "Final Conflict"

If you've heard any of these songs, you'll hear their similarities with this song.

Why is it, that every one of your songs is awesome? You're not putting subliminal messages into your music are you? Haha. But seriously, great song.

Is it coincidence that I love your reviews as much as you like my music?

hahahaha but seriously, this is probably my best song aside from the one I'm literally about to upload in about 5 minutes (that one's a demo though, not a whole one).

In reference to what you said in your review, this song is different from many of my other songs because instead of building up, it immediately jumps into the melody, kinda like, well, A Battle to the Death, if you read my comments.

Glad you liked it, I enjoy seeing your reviews man!

The quality of your work has risen substantially!

Excellent.

For this song, it was actually because I used a different reverb method than I usually do. I might stick with this method, as it produces some amazing results.

Thanks for the good review!

"Completely epic."

If i ever made and actual video game or movie i would want this song to play for the final boss. This sounds like it could actually BE in a movie or game. The Organ in the background is just so shadowy and dark. The entire song just fits the name perfectly. I've already downloaded and favorited this. I totally love it. This site needs more songs like this.

Wow, I'm glad you love it man. About the organ, as I said in another response, the idea came from Yoko Shimomura and Michiru Yamane.

Honestly, this song was a miracle of a composition. It's so different in tonal quality and style from the rest of my songs, and yet sounds much better than my other ones. It's easily the best song I've ever made. I guess I'm trying to say that I love this song as much as you do hahaha

And if you're looking for more songs like this, just surf around the classical section. There's plenty of amazing artists here.

sweeping organ in the background...crazy awesome

i can not wait till this game comes out, are you the composer for all of the tunes in it?

this song does fit perfectly in with the theme of it

how do you make your tracks loops so damn well, your honestly the best person at looping ive ever heard, im not really sure if thats a great compliment, but its somthing xD

great job with this man, probably my favorite track of yours, its looped on my like 10 times, it just doesnt get old

oh by the way, which vst/soundfront is that, for the organ???

Author's Response:

About the organ, it's an obscure one I found on sf2midi.com called Cathedral. When i found it, I couldn't believe it myself, because it was relatively good quality and it was the exact type of organ I had been seeking for quite some time.

Normally what I do with loops is I take the end of the loop and force it to build up (or down) to something that blends with the beginning well. This is always kinda tricky, but I had a lot of practice. (the first 33 songs I've ever made are actually loops, believe it or not.) Additionally, because of the type of reverb I use, there's a ton of latency in the track, which causes the mp3 version of the track to actually start at the final seconds of the end of the loop rather than the actual beginning of the loop, aided further by the fact that I always have the loop settings on FL set to "wrap remainder".

I actually am the composer for all the tunes in it. By the time I'm finished, there should be around 15-20 individual songs specifically for this game.

Thanks for checking this out, this happens to be my favorite track of all time as of right now. Which probably makes me the most self-absorbed asshole in all of music hahaha

Still, thanks for taking the time to check this out and write a review!
