[@originalSPECTER]

For those of you guys who don't know, this is a remix of one of the combat tracks from a PS1/Sega Saturn game called "Black Dawn". Tommy Tallarico did the music for that game and Sonic and the Black Knight. Blows my mind how music from a game about using an attack helicopter to blow up terrorists ended up in a medieval Sonic game, but I'll take it. This track f-ing rocks!

Just to inform everyone, Todd Dennis compose Black Dawn’s soundtrack. This is a remix of “Action Theme” from that game. Tommy just owned the company who Todd worked for.

We have Jun Senoue teaming with Tommy Tallarico, and even Marty Friedman of Megadeth fame on the final boss theme. For a soundtrack of a game starring a hedgehog with a talking sword. Even if the games are not as well remembered today, I'd love for SEGA to have this level of dedication and ambition, even if the game ends up "meh".

I honestly love this game. Great story, AMAZING music, multiple playable characters, huge amounts of fan service and some pretty good controls. I feel this game gets too much hate, once you get the hang of things its a great time start to finish.

[@Brian-rx9sp]

@@outtagoodnamesdangit I know Senoue didn't compose this track and it appeared in Black Dawn years prior, but Senoue was credited in the official soundtrack of Sonic and the Black Knight as the arranger of the track, as well as the one responsible for the electric guitars.
