holy rock

this was supposed to have lyrics/vocals but I could never find the right words to go into it. I even tried adding a solo, but I couldn't find a good line either. ah well.

It follows a very rigid ABACAB structure because I was going for a "favorite song" with a good balance of novelty and predictability. something to crank up all the way and slo-motion headbang too.

Ooooo I love the heavy beat & the distant-sounding lead. The growly guitar part is a great transformation & turns it into something dangerous. Nice build up at 3:00 right before you bring it home!

Oh yeah, I can definitely seeing this having vocals and a solo. That synth riff is indeed strong!

If you choose a different license than "No Derivative Works" then maybe somebody will provide!

This feels like a boulder, I like the quiet bits, very pleasing
Perhaps what it needs is a combination of the two sounds

By boulder, you mean like a climbing puzzle? Fall off, relax for a second, get back up and SEND IT.

I would but those pesky AI thieves are everywhere trying to create shareholder value.

I'll happy grant or change a license on a case by case basis.

I still think the breakdown needs one little thing extra. Probably just some vocals.

Well it's not exactly rock as in the genre, so it feels like a boulder

As always the sound design here is on point.  The reverb on the snares, and toms works so well.  (〜^∇^ )〜
