Rules of nature would be really good

[@Sirenensang]

Sasha's voice is really great for this, wish it would come through a bit louder in the mix. Excellent stuff, though!

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

Interestingly enough that was also my main complaint about the original version, it felt too busy overall and the lyrics too unclear. The main features that made me prefer most of the other boss themes to this one. Personally I think they improved on it significantly in this mix.

This song has been my entire existence throughout all of 2022 so far. I can't stop listening to it and whenever I'm about to covers/remixes like this drag me back in.

[@TheInfiniteNine]

If they ever make a sequel to this game, the soundtrack MUST be in this style!!!

If I had any music editing talent I'd try and add the last little flourish of Japanese flutes to the end; maybe even in the places that they were through the whole song as I feel like they're an important part of its DNA

[@Bladehalf]

lyrics Memories broken The truth goes unspoken I've even forgotten my name I don't know the season Or What is the reason I'm standing here holding my blade A desolate place without any Trace It's only the core that i feel It's me that I spite As I stand up and fight The only thing I know for real There Will Be Blood Shed As the man in the mirror nodes his head The only one left Will ride upon the Dragon's Back Because the mountains don't give back what they take OH NO There Will Be Blood Shed It's the only thing I've ever known Edit: After the line "Without Any Trace" it's unclear what he says So after that line the next set of words I was just completely off what I heardthe most

[@danix7807]

Beautiful

[@TAMAMO-VIRUS]

I like that while this does have that very aggressive DOOM touch, it's still very much MGR in its feel. Other remixes you've done have felt like DOOM music with a bit of the original still in there. But this is the opposite. Would love to see more of this along with the other kind in the future.
