I really have no idea if this claps my cheeks or merely flaps my sheets! XD I do know it clearly kills the beat and feels shrill yet leet, with a surprisingly synthy streak throughout the metal meat, with appreciative pauses and breaks to breath, before it once against kicks into a vicious streak of viscous heat!

Gets better and better too. Starts off a little plain - didn't hold amazing hopes for it - but ends up being a fascinatingly fresh take on metal overall. The structure could maybe be polished a little further, like for example the parts around 4:45 onward, and 5:15 onward are definitely a bit too repetitive IMO. There are a few parts like that, that just bombard you with the same thing over and over - sometimes with very limited tonality too, but then you get into the good bits and it's just all amazing again...

A little less grind sometimes and I think this'd be... seriously dope.

It still is. Awesome work here.

Gritty. :) Love the dirty bass in the background, and the almost violin-like synth that jumps and jolts you, it's a a catchy and surprisingly original tune considering the genre, takes me out of my expected House-based headspace hearing it. I appreciate the structure too. Though it's a steady beat it's not at all too repetitive

It is a little short though! But sounds great. Balanced mix too, albeit maybe a little low.

Nice work.

Lovely work. :)

It sounds good, it's smooth and warm and relaxing... though when it starts fading away around the 2:14 mark maybe there's a bit much dissonance or reverb, the sound feels a bit muddied there...

Overall lovely tune. If the title's in regard to NG too I love the sentiments. :P

Great work.

This was new! Crazy intricate vocal chops and a frantic beat right off the bat, that never stops, it builds and drops and then... you're locked in. No way out of it.

It is a little short but by the time it's over I feel like this is about as much energy as I can handle. XD The vocals get sparser with time though, seems like you might've run out of time towards the end; it was too much work to manage those all the way? Or maybe it's just an intentional shift; a calmer second half.

The production's great, not too loud, punchy and clear, everything's easy to pick up; well mixed. A little more structure might be nice though. Variation. It's a blast but: like one long punch, no feints or breaks; might be good to move things around a bit even in battle.

Now this sounds like the kind of music I first started listening to when I found NG back in the day this one. :) The classic chainsaw_09 or ParagonX9 style... with a bit of a medieval tone to it, or maybe that's the wrong word... techno with strings. More a mix of modern and classical, with a somewhat calmer tempo that seems to match the instruments, and percussion that's all the more pompous too... and breaks, the structure's a bit more complex with this one.

I love the end in particular; how you just go wild with the drums and have a solo with yourself. Feels like a band jamming out for real.

And it definitely sounds glorious! Wouldn't mind starting my days with this.

Though you do go FAST I'm glad you don't go as fast as some musicians seem to go these days! :D At least you can still hear the beat; can still feel it; can still bop your head without misaligning some spines or such, and the synth almost sounds like a panflute sometimes here too... that's new!

Production quality's great as always, the energy's always there and it just keeps going and growing all the way till the end... impressive how effortlessly you seem to manage that constant build.

It's wholesome. Great energy; great everything.

So calm. So subtle and soft and seemingly not that remarkable, but beautiful.

Can't help but wonder how this would sound with more than the one instrument though. With strings. With a quartet or entire orchestra joining in as it progresses; taking it to new heights entirely...

Though it doesn't need to be more than this either. The production quality's clean and the instrumentality masterful, no missteps, it's wholesome and heartfelt all the way... nicely played.

Ends a bit abruptly but sounds like it might be a perfect loop, an eternal round of relaxation if so...

-cd-

I wonder if Zos in anything like Cave Story hmm, it sounds similarly captivating...

Very atmospheric. Surprisingly atmospheric for a chiptune track really, it's like you reach beyond what the sound palette expectedly allows you to put out with this particular strain of creation...

The little reverberating bursts in the background seem to imply something intense is going on, and the main melody's both moving and brooding, and building... it grows constantly, and doesn't stay on the same notes so long it ever starts feeling repetitive. Those little bursts are always there but they don't feel distracting either even though seem to always have the same intervals...

Think I need to play this game. This was great. Doesn't sound that complex but it truly captures the feeling; the essence of necessity and alarm. The need to be vigilant and ready at all times...

Adventurous; a little melancholy maybe - something that could play as the world ends - when old things are dying and a new time is coming to be. Surprisingly wholesome and atmospheric. The different melodies all blend so well.

Very nice work.

Was not expecting that dubstep bit in the middle of this! :D

I love the icy tone it starts with, the rhythm and cool bass... not sure about the part that comes after, feels like my expectations on rhythmic calm and cool; crystalline energy someone turned into a burst of rage and roughness... but the sound design's great. Again feels a little short too...

I love the beginning. The intro's so polished; so smooth; so in tune with my mood I suppose. Would've loved to hear a longer track like that.

Keep up the dope work! Awesome energy in all of these always it seems; intricate structure.

Thanks, still hesitating whether or not I should send it to the Muse Dash music contest

I do hear the vocal chop. XD Vocals by... the aforementioned artist? Rocket Start? Yourself?

Soulful voice. Very smooth too, it blends in nicely with the mix...

It's a vibrant soundscape. Reverberates; pulsates and tingles. Builds. Gets your head bobbing. Chops it up and drops and goes in with a little VG-like fanfare (2:18). Really cool mesh of styles and atmosphere overall.

Production's crisp, it sounds good, it feels good... have no complaints, though despite regular length it feels a little short... good track.

Nope, I sliced a vocals from Oversampled's Future Bass sample pack :)
Likely my best song overall, I doubt I'll do anything this good ever again ngl, still sad that it wasn't frontpaged
