Ahh, yes! I remember this from its WIP form! He posted this up just before he left (boot camp, was it?), and it's remained one of my favorite renditions of this track. Rock-solid as always: the themes blend together well and the flow of the song is such that it never gets stale. Great to see it posted!

This makes me happy like nothing else. I remember I had it in its WIP days too, then somehow I lost the file and couldn't find it, and I was sad. I listened to this among other things while playing Borderlands, made everything intense and amazing. Anyway I'm happy to see it again, like reuniting with a lost love. Take me away nekofrog <3

It's a very different type of metal you usually hear in OCRemixes. It keeps to a very minimalistic production, with some great intro melodies. I think what the song could really have used is some variety in more of the power metal chord sections, where it can get a bit tedious. It's great for what it is, I just think it could use a bit more sonic diversity.

I think what's "wrong" is that people who aren't used to this particular style of metal think that guitars should be almost 100% high-end instead of the heaviness we know it should be via moderate mid-scooping, and kicks should be almost exclusively in the 250HZ range or something instead of that clickiness that's kind of important for the genre you're going for.

Good mix, btw. You really nailed it with this one.

Your cymbals are ducking harder than a carnival game, bro.

I never said anything was wrong with it, I just wasn't crazy about it the production. It's solid, for sure...some of the tones just aren't what I would have went with. Aside from the cymbals that have been pointed out, I just think the overall clarity is somewhat lacking IMO. But really, we all have different tastes in production in terms of what "sounds good". Hell, I know my stuff isn't perfect either.
Regardless, the track is killer.

Ah, good ol'metal. Great way to start the day. Very intense and flows really well over the course of the ReMix. Sweet cameo by Starla, too. The only thing that gets me is that the second guitar in the intro seems slightly-off, but that's just a minor nit-pick, cause everything else sounded great. Amazing ReMix here.
