Get Up, Get Out (The Antagonist's Ballad)

By MLDVR on November 11, 2012 9:23 am

CHIPTUNE. HARDCORE PUNK. VIDEO GAME NERDOM. STUPIDLY COPIOUS AMOUNT OF SURFY REVERB. WITH YOUR POWERS COMBINED I AM....SEAGULL CHAINSAW!

Finally, my singing voice is making a debut (here), and so far I've had good responses from it. As you will tell though its not really singing and more like punk shouting. Singing is not a strong point of mine but i think i can get by, and it suits this particular sort of music. So far its been compared to the likes of RIP Society bands, and thats a good thing. And for the first time, the mix has been a big challenge. This song will be re-recorded when i do the proper EP next year, but this is the first song.

The song is about video game antagonists, because what else can i sing about? Here are the lyrics, i'm sure most of you can figure out which bad guys i'm talking about. 1000 points for the first chump that gets em all. Theres only one game series that has been mentioned twice. Danke.

---------------------

The princess is in another castle
Dracula’s there its time to battle
Right down there where the Mother Brain resides

Its dangerous to go alone take this now
Each robot master I will take down
The egg mobile is running away again

Get Up Get Out
Get Up Get Out
Get Up Get Out
Its time to save the day

Team Rocket’s attacks are so feral
Reapers has put all life at peril
Would you kindly lower your weapon?

What a horrible night to have a curse
Creepers and endermen all disperse.
These ghosts won’t let you eat in peace.

Get Up Get Out
Get Up Get Out
Get Up Get Out
Its time to save the day

Who will save us
from the evil heartless?
who will save us
from the clouds of darkness?

who will save us
Cortex wants the world
who will save us
its already invaded by Hell.

Who will
Save us?

Black Mesa has been shot to hell
Aperture isn’t doing so well
The Alpha Sections were evil all along

General Morden’s making life tough
The Covenant is playing rough
The War against Giygas is now.

Get Up Get Out
Get Up Get Out
Get Up Get Out
Time to save the day

This is Epic... you have outdone yourself! This is like a Punk Chip Surf Opera!  Great sounds and love the thrashyness.  Vox are perfect!

thumbs up big_smile

fuck yeah man, that rules. chiptune meets punk meets surf

really awesome.. so quiet though.. did you even peak normalize?

I did, but i only have flat speakers to work with -__-

wait. what do you mean flat speakers? flat is good. do you mean blown speakers?

Mac speakers bromie, they are flat. Like tortilla wraps.

So in other words, speakers from the notebook.

On second listen though, i think i have uploaded the wrong mix.

Them confusing mixes.  Pretty epic sounds going on here.  Tight guitar for the most part - the chorus on the DMG works really well too

Nice one!
