ReMix:Command & Conquer: Red Alert "Hell March to the Apocalypse" 5:38

WOW! So many memories with come flooding back hearing this. The year that Red Alert came out was one Christmas that could not have arrived any slower for me. At the time there was a trailer for the game and Hell March was the music that accompanied it. I remember it giving me goosebumps then but yes. So good. Such a fantastic update to a fantastic source-tune. The mix of orchestral and metal here is just delicious. While the arrangement here is what conveys a lot of the power and grandioisity, the production minutely misses the opportunity to emphasize this.

I'm not familiar with the source but this ReMix is awesome! Great job!

wow, here's a pack of nostalgia thrown on my face, followed by attack dogs. awesome remix

Wow. This is amazingly great! I love the bass line, I love the orchestra and the guitars, I pretty much love everything. Keep up the great work!

I've been listening to this one since DoD days, but for some reason it doesn't feel quite as epic or intense as I remember it (I don't have the DoD version anymore, so maybe this is a cut-down version from that ) There's a lot of neat ideas here and they're executed well, though, and it's a great expansion on the original (which I just checked out a couple of days ago because of this song.) Not one of PoD's most amazing mixes but I definitely like the mood the song was created in, and some of the guitar riffs in particular are quite good in this context.

It's refreshing to see such a talented artist branching out and doing all sorts of styles like this, from blues to jazz to metal... Keep it up PoD

This arrangement reminded me of the music from Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, which is a very good thing.

If anyone's interested, I made a video of myself playing a 2-guitar arrangement on this song:

I decided I needed a better way to push the song than having an mp3 to a synchronized MAMplayer visual.

Hey PoD,

Sent you a PM if you didn't see it. Essentially said "yes plz will do."

I guess, save for this comment: "Awful. The orchestra did not fit the main melody really well, and generally sounded like a cheap knock-off cover (Which it was). Reminds me of SnM by Metallica, except that SnM worked, but this did not at all"

(which, by the way, is a very, very funny comment)

Haha, I used to think SM was pretty good until I heard the orchestral rock fusions from this community and how much more cohesively they could work together (especially goat's stuff), so I don't really believe that guy has any idea what he's talking about. I'd just ignore him.

Gario: Keep up with Dwelling of Duels for more PoD.

I lol'd at that comment (mainly because he called SnM a success, but also because of how wildly wrong he was about the track). Most of the audience there basically don't like orchestra (who doesn't like orchestra in music?! ) Ah well, you can't please everyone. Your song was great, no doubt about it - now make another .

hey dude, those responses are far from wildly negative.

kickass track still/

The comments I guess are mostly split 50/50 between "Hey, cool!" and "Ho-hum"/"This sucks"

I'm tempted to register and ask them to elaborate on their opinions but I figure that there's probably no use in arguing with fanboys.

Just checked out this page. The response is wildly negative. No one seems to like it there. But that's ok, at least actual musicians seem to like it

And at least Frank, the original composer, liked it.

Good sir, I have transformed your incredible track into something that even someone as musically retarded as I can perform:

Luckily, I am not plastic-ally retarded as well. 3 Hell March.

Christ man. I love you. Can you read tabs? I can send you tabs of the parts for you to make the song more accurate. I would send you separated tracks but my laptop is out of commission right now.

EDIT: Turns out I already have separated tracks on an external Hard Drive.

Yeah I noticed the negative comments but the positive ones were great too Considering some people were saying it was better than the original, and that it should be patched into the actual game, I would be pretty flattered!

Anyway my opinion on it is still the same *thumbs up*
