*****************
Hello everyone! New original song!
This is the first one that I share since I did my original album Crystal Moon back in October. It took me a bit of time to get back into the groove of things after that one I think.
So what exactly is this song and why did I do it?
First of all, I think this is more of an intense battle cutscene theme than an actual boss battle theme. The way I saw the scene in my head while composing was... The song starts with and hopeful melody (which will come back at the end) where the commandant/squad leader finishes to give his troops the motivational speech telling them they'll reclaim the capital they lost to the enemy etc. Then, the big metal music starts as they rush down the hill on their horses, charging at the enemy. That goes on for a bit but then the mood suddenly change when they realize that it won't be a piece of cake as anticipated and many of their friends die right away. From there I just kept the intense battle feel going until finally you hear "hope" again through the melodic end sequence I wrote with strings leading the piece.
I hope you enjoy whatever this is!
See you next time!

DEFINITELY cutscene feelings, I imagine this is how you picture a big final moment in a JRPG or anime film!

[@gabocarina96]

I'm really glad to hear, Ro!! :'D

[@Dinnick3rd]

I can listen to this thinking that is an actual RPG boss battle! Nice song Gab!

[@gabocarina96]

Thanks a lot Dinnick! :D

[@gbzld]

This song would fit nicely in that final climb through Prison Island in Xenoblade 1 when you go through the gates and get ready for the end of the game.

[@Sanjesh_P]

Great stuff man! I think you really nailed that feeling of “the calm before the storm feel” before the final battle, definitely hype!

[@gabocarina96]

Thank you Sanj! :D

[@h33th3r]

YES. So much yes. Yes yes yes. Keep the originals coming. DO NOT EVER STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING; YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT FIELD.

[@gabocarina96]

Thanks so much Heather! :D

[@JAD_7777]

This reminds me of the torna battle theme. A mix of subtle and epic. Fantastic.

[@lakhiledlamini808]

This is what you call cutscene BGM! Keep up!!!

[@WillowEpp]

Oh, the Shady Chancellor threw off his cloak and bulked out! Shock! He was actually one of the Evil Lord's Four Devil Generals! *music starts*

[@MG_SW]

You know I should listen to more of your original music. I listen to your rareware/Nintendo covers all the time at work but this is good too

[@danteseleniumcaelo5287]

I don't know why, but the part that stats at 0:32 feels to me like it's from Transformers Prime. Amazing work!

[@TheShunbanEmpire]

This Feels Like it could be used for the final area in the just announced xenoblade chronicles 3! it has that epic of a vibe! amazing work as always Gabocarina96!

[@TheItalianoAssassino]

This sounds Fire Emblem af Very nice

[@FinalPhoenix151]

Dude needs to make his own RPG. Soooo good

[@gabocarina96]

Thank you! 😌 I'd definitely love to get the opportunity to compose for a RPG someday!

[@TheNerdtendo]

I hear some Pokémon Black & White credits in there. Nice! :3

[@gabocarina96]

I think someone else mentioned that! Yet I don’t even know that song! 😅

[@BlueKnight85]

This would fit super well into something like Twilight Princess if it were in a more "war" type setting. My favorite of your originals so far!

[@KadeKalka]

This is sick, wonderful job!

[@gabocarina96]

Thanks Kade! :D

[@Satural_Nelection]

Great work! Looking forward to hear even more of your original compositions.

[@gabocarina96]

It means a lot!

[@rplourde23]

Good job... As always! Keep the originals coming :D

[@justinjyeung]

I could see this as some epic Warriors music :o

[@ZSymphonia]

Love the JRPG vibes!

[@gabocarina96]

I'm all about JRPG vibes! :'D

[@JJJSmit9026]

this is amazing, is the start meant to be a motif with a part of Cold Mourning Heart

[@percussiveseer415]

If I ever have revenge impulses I'll put this on for sure! Very cool!

[@BlueTarouX]

Oh damn Gab! I love how climatic this sounds :o this could work in so many different ways, like a cutscene before a big fight (like the thing you wrote in the description), or a Situation where the jrpg protagonist needs to get fast from A to B and it plays on the field and during the battles, also it would work well in some cases for a standalone fight theme, but I think you are right, its more like the action music before the battle c: so or so - this is truly a masterpiece! I love how you worked with the panels and master effects to give a bid stereo expierence, the instruments have a good harmony together and the melody is kicking some monsters

[@gabocarina96]

Thanks so much Tommy! :D

[@archivedandgone]

Nice job man! Sounds epic

[@gabocarina96]

Thanks!!

[@RyudoGoo]

It's very good, it reminds me of another song but I can't find which one, I played "Crystal Moon" to a Castlevania fan who said it was really good =)

[@gabocarina96]

This means a lot!! I'm glad they liked it too! :D

[@paubenitoherrera9636]

I love it!

[@Vikingja]

Damn, this was a banger!

[@gabocarina96]

Thanks!!

[@PaulFarrerMusic]

This is awesome dude! Would sit easily in a Dynasty Warriors game!

[@gabocarina96]

Thanks Paul! :D

[@raiden_1668]

Uffff muy epica, ojalá la pudiera usar para vídeos de KZbin.

[@Frilleon]

I feel like this would be more likely clicked if your title was something like "I made a battle song" then put the title and info in the description. i almost glossed over this. remember in the subbox the whole name doesn't show so i didn't even see (Original Battle Music). i only ended up clicking cause i saw your name luckily and i love your videos so much (especially your banjo & kazooie songs)

[@Frilleon]

my point is it's all about clickbait/titles that work :)

[@nickwilliams4693]

Incredible gab.

[@gabocarina96]

Thanks!! :D

[@dragonmaster1500]

Man, this is a great track, well done. I feel like there are a ton of different games that this one would fit with. Interestingly, this section at 1:58 to 2:20 really reminds me of the Pokémon Black and White credits music, for some reason, and that last section at 2:48 really sounds Xenoblade Chronicles X. And those opening riffs, they really give me Trails/Ys, vibes. Sorry if I was misinterpreting what you were going for, I can't not hear similarities to video game music, even the title (For those who fell before us), sounds kinda like a XC unique monster theme name. In the end though, this was an amazing original composition and it can definitely stand on its own.

[@dargons5145]

hey, you stole my gimmick!

[@gabocarina96]

I'm not familiar with the Black/White credits theme but I do take a lot of my inspiration from the Xenoblade series! I love Ys btw! :D

[@DegobaSystem-ox1ig]

pretty cool dude! =)

[@kpmusic8533]

Awesome enjoyed it

[@gabocarina96]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@kpmusic8533]

@@gabocarina96 you're welcome

[@Void_Out]

👌🗿

[@reloadpsi]

As much as it means the time that would've been spent producing the video gets to be spent improving the song, I do miss the performance on these originals.
