OceansAndrew Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Super rocking powerhouse of a track. What is a powerhouse anyways? would that be a home with electricity? Or the condo owned by a superhero maybe? I don't know, but I do know this song kicks ass and OCR needs more POD. \m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 This was a pretty hard source to tackle for many people - we went through two people beforehand who had too much trouble with it before soliciting Tony's help, and he did a damn good job considering the source material. Gotta love headbanging to the track though, solid aggressive metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkBlade Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Lol Nice referrence to Lamb of God at 1:40-1:50 Clearly the "Laid to Rest" intro! =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master_Yoshi Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 This was a pretty hard source to tackle for many people - we went through two people beforehand who had too much trouble with it before soliciting Tony's help, and he did a damn good job considering the source material. Really? Two people tried and failed at this track? I'm surprised, it's a really cool track, and much more complex arrangements have been tackled in the past. Ah well, it's hard to go wrong with screaming electric guitars, and they are employed to great effect here. Well, not really screaming at all times, but this is still rocking, and good! It feels a bit formulatic, as in "Do a cover arrangement of the theme as your backbone, use the key melodic hooks, and then do most of your expansion via solo" but hey, the system works, right? Really, my only gripe is that - I don't get a feel that this is the work of... Yeah. Sorry dude, I totally forgot your name, because I didn't listen to this and think "Whoa, that was pretty damn cool! Good job [subject name here]!" So yeah, this is good but not earth shaking. Maybe that is the problem that Bahamut was referencing - it was hard to set the world ablaze when arranging this track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefeng Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 This mix screams Dream Theater, only I like the distortion on this mix's guitars a helluva lot better than the slightly muffled, crunchy sound that Dream Theater uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorax Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 AWESOME REMIX! I love how you kept so close to the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpable Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 This is one of those songs I keep coming back to on this album, and I like it even more than when I judged it. I love the Dream Theater-esque part where the rhythm emphasis gets weird, and how nearly every hook from the original is crammed into this. Such a great arrangement.

EmpyClaw Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 There is so much awesome in the mix, I don't know how it was all fit in. A great piece of metal. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crulex Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 You know, I have never heard of Dream Theater before I heard this ReMix. And now after hearing about the comparisons and checking it out, I love it. Proof that video game music can lead you to more music to enjoy in the wildest ways. I do hear the influence and this has quickly become one of my favorite ReMixes from the album. The sweet guitar rhythms and the driven, almost frantic pacing really reminds me of that level. And thumbs up for the creative name. Really, Prince of Darkness really delivered on this one, so thumbs up on a truly incredible mix.

DragonAvenger Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 This track is definitely a powerhouse: the guitars, bass, and drums really push the track in all directions, and overall it's pretty awesome to listen to. I agree that the synth is getting crowded out, and it would have been nice to hear that clearly, but aside from that, great mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Doom Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Oh, this is one of the cases when you know that right from the begining your face is gonna be melt, and, hell yes, I'll let my face melt here This track is so fucking awesome. Seriously, Tony's guitar skills are jaw-dropping here as always, and everything is clean and dynamic. Wish it was longer, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
