Update Jan 2020: Cut away 1 chorus/verse repetition since I decided to forgo vocals on this track, it ended being repetitive.

Added a little break.

Surrounded by stars, the beauty of Earth is striking. Contrasted with the bitter taste of rage, you take it all in for but a moment before the battle commences.

A battle for life and death, man and endless machine, Mars and Earth. Grab every chance you can and become legend!

When I visualise this song in my head, I see it as the final epic battle between the hero and the impossible odds they face up against an immortal army. The whole battle takes place during re-entry to Earth, finally taking the fight back to the machines that overran Earth in the past, forcing what was left of humanity to live a perilous life on Mars for a century.

I've been watching a lot of sci-fi anime again, listening to lots of Scandroid and keeping tabs on Space-X's progress towards establishing human colonies on Mars so I'm quite far down the rabbit hole, I guess.

This is my first real attempt at blending hard rock/metal and synthwave elements together in which the synth elements are not completely taken over by the guitar elements (like in previous songs).

I feel I could still take this a couple of steps further but I'm satisfied for now. I do want to add vocals one day but that's not possible at the moment as I don't have a mic on me.

I hope you enjoy it!
