Good to see this one finally posted. I've been following this one for quite a long time, and it's awesome. That guitar solo is one of the best I've heard from the remixing community, so much character in it. And that says a lot considering how many great guitarists there are.

10/10. Ok i was going to give this a 9 until i heard the drum solo and what came after. man this kicks ass.
Is not that i'm very into classic-metal but this is HOT stuff. You're possibly the greatest guitarist in overclocked. Keep composing like this!

Very very very sexy. Something about the twin lead going right through that just positively smokes. I generally take the metal mixes posted here with a grain of salt since it rarely keeps my interest, but something about the arrangement on this one is really good. It will be getting frequent relistens.

To be honest, I liked your old version of this (the one with a synth lead) better -- I thought the soundscape felt much richer.

HOWEVER, the drum solo and the slower section are very nice additions, and this is overall one rockin' arrangement.

I prefer this version. I find there are very few metal songs which can seamlessly blend the electric guitar with synths, and the old version just didn't hit the right balance IMO. Call me old fashioned and narrow minded, but I like the classic rock flavor of this new version more. I especially appreciated the revamped solos. The one that starts at 2:12 and has a smidge of spanish fly -- awesome stuff.

Not that the old version's solos weren't up to snuff. On the contrary, it's got some wicked stuff in there. I'm keeping both. Btw, for those of you that don't know, you can download the old version off Sixto's website.

Let's see here. I get home from class, I come back to my computer and see a Double Dragon 2 "remix." I think to myself "Oh yeah. It's about time."

I downloaded this thing, and it rocked my face off. The original theme itself is beautiful and melodic, and it rocks like hell.

Well, whoever "Sixto Sounds" may be, he/she/them has done a damn good job at remaking the original song into everything it should be.

The guitar work and guitar tone are awesome. The production is great. The flow of the song is great too, because it never gives you time to grow tired, because you're off to the next part before a certain riff gets annoying.

The breakdown is much needed, and then comes a ripping solo, then it breaks back into the melodic badass chorus just like it should.

I can't say anything bad about this mix, because it's perfect. If you disagree, you're just wrong.

I am Sixto fan.
Things have not changed since the awesome Castlevania track I downloaded. This piece has plenty of sweet gee-tar work and enough rocking to make every Grandma in the world fly out of their chairs.
Highly recommended.
