Free music, yay! *-*
I would like to make a request for a battle BGM!
Use of music: Boss Battle
Mood: Action, with some sad emotions...
Theme: I am not sure what should I write here, but I will try to explain what happens in this boss battle... The main hero is forced to fight with someone who is very close to him... High tension, high emotions.
Speed: Starting slowly and get's faster after some time. Than after the fast part gets to the fastest part, I would like a sudden slowing point, almost like a full-stop/complete breakdown of the music. After the breakdown, a 1-2 seconds silence, some slow parts and it repeats from the start here.
Genre: Melodic metal/metal-core, highly guitar focused. If you need some exact examples for identifying the genre, I would suggest Five Finger Death Punch, their slower songs, mixed with some of their quicker guitar solos. I don't want any vocals, obviously.
Specific instruments: Aside from the guitar and drum, I don't have any specific instruments in mind. I will leave it to you to decide what else fits into the theme.
Some examples from other games (soundtracks):
The Last Remnant: Gates of Hell
Star Ocean 3 - Till the End of Time: The Divine Spirit of Language
Tales of the Abyss: Meaning of Birth, Finish the Promise and the opening theme.
The BGM I aim for is something between the Meaning of Birth and the opening theme (the US version, not the one with the high pitched japanish/korean voice over!) from Tales of the Abyss. The Meaning of Birth is a song based on the opening theme but it has much more emotions in it and is slower.
Another example would be to use something like the Meaning of Birth for the slow parts and something like the Divine Spirit of Language for the fast parts.
I hope I explained what I want clearly enough. The examples are meant to be guidelines only, not a strict thing to follow. If you manage to make me something similar, I would be very grateful! *-*
