I have found the Emerald Sword

I've posted this song before on this blog, it's probably my favorite one out off all my music.  It's been incredible how much help it's been, and how it's almost been prophetic in my life right now.  I post this in the hope that maybe one of you reading this might also be helped by it.

Metal Man: Stage Select

For a change, today I can't think of anything in particular that inspired this song.




This is an interesting song.  I had thought while writing it that it would be Fire Hawk's theme, but when it ended up around 10 seconds long, I decided to use it for something else.

Metal Man: Tempest Triceratops

The level music for Tempest Triceratops, as inspired by Megaman X's stage clear.

Metal Man: Title Screen

The title screen music for Metal Man: Rock & Roll as inspired by Spark Mandrill

Aether Falcon

I've mentioned in a previous post Metal Man: Rock and Roll, and have just now figured out how to post music to my blog!  I apologize for the extreme delay, but I now present to you the first of my songs: Aether Falcon, as inspired by Megaman X's Storm Eagle.



(concept art will be up shortly)

I see...

They call it "Power Metal."




Blind guardian takes its lyrics from fantasy books like The Wheel of Time, The Lord of the Rings, The Song of Fire and Ice, and Dragonlance.

Wait...

You're telling me there's an entire genre of this stuff?

Rhapsody of Fire- Emerald Sword


Dark Moor- Maid of Orleans


Kamelot- Forever
(Video is just black, it's not your computer)

I have found music!

Okay, so maybe this isn't the most recent development, but I haven't thought to post it here until now.

For most of my life I've just sort of shrugged when someone asked me what kind of music I like.  I'd also probably suggest a song or two, or maybe just say "rock" or "video game music" or some such. 

Naturally, video games and Rock and Roll led me to Guitar Hero 3, and with it, I discovered Dragonforce.


Above: Awesome

Dungeons and Dragons/fantasy inspired lyrics, video game inspired music, even their name just says "this band is awesome".  So naturally, I wanted to find more of this awesomeness, and I made a channel on Pandora radio and found many more bands that I now like.  These include the likes of Kamelot, Epica, Dark Moor, and others.

So now, when someone asks me the kind of music I like, I can proudly say, "Metal".
