#18 - Chapter VII

This one straight up sounds like video game music. I had a great time recording it throughout the week.
I hope you guys enjoy the synth solos and different soundscapes I put together. Its not perfect but it was a lot of tedious effort.

I used my Ibanez Jake Bowen, Ibanez 4 string bass, Kemper, AxeFX & Serum for all the synth stuff.

Please let me know your thoughts, critique and suggestions for improvement.

Some of the fast crunchy parts reminded me of one of the Wolfenstein games, I think. Some of their boss battles had some pretty cool metal music to really set the mood. The Doom games (newer ones) do the same thing, but they are really crunchy.

Full disclosure, Ive been recently heavily inspired by Mick Gordon's efforts on Doom and Doom Eternal. Hence the inbound 8 string that arrives on Monday.

That's cool. I haven't played Eternal, but I did play the prior game, and that soundtrack was heavy AF. Definitely served its purpose to get your blood pumping, and keep it there, which tied into the near relentless action in the game.

Hands down one of the most fitting game soundtracks ever. I tried listening to it at the gym but didn't have the same vibe. It was very spaced out and ambient. You don't really realize how much looping goes on in the game until you listen to it track by track.

You had me at :08.

Listening...
- I thought the static was a glitch but then it started panning left and right in my headphones. Very cool.
- Guitar(s) are downright filthy at 2:16, 3:20...
- 3:53 (wha?...)
- 5:04 Monkeys are loose and throwing silverware!
- 6:33: song ends abruptly, I'm exhausted by the assault.

Nice job. What a project!
