[B]It took me over a year, but I finally got another one done!
Uploading to bandcamp is a pain in the ass, but I still did it.
I never got any big popularity for my stuff, but I'm glad that theres at least some people out there who enjoy it.
Just like always, the album is 100% free, but you can donate a bit if you want, it'd be appreciated!
I built the album so that it should have fairly fluid song changes.[/B]

Intro track for the album.
A piano song that uses melodies that are reprised later.

[B]#2 - The Wolf Brigade - 07:55[/B]

This track was originally supposed to be the intro track, but I felt that the reprisal song idea was better.
Starts out slow and takes a while to build up, but then goes more metal.
Still one of the softer tracks on the album though, when compared to ex. Riding The Carousel of Chaos.
I'm really satisfied with how the ending came out.

Pretty basic metal with some ~super-avant-garde-prog~ shite that I decided to do for the shits of it.
Title is in Finnish because why not.

[B]#4 - The Last Moments - 07:44[/B]

Kind of like The Wolf Brigade. Starts soft, goes metal.

[B]#5 - London In Flames - 07:23[/B]

A less rocky/metaly song.
Went mostly for a more dramatic feel, not sure if I succeeded, but atleast I like what it sounds like!

[B]#6 - The Soaring Eagle - 04:22[/B]
[quote]
Originally a GP6 track, but I thought that it sounded good in MIDI too.
Pretty energetic and has a constant momentum going on.
Also has a small interlude afterwards.

[B]#7 - Riding The Carousel of Chaos - 06:22[/B]
[quote]
One of the faster, heavier, more frantic songs of the album.
Loads of wankery here.

[B]#8 - In Arms Reach - 05:43[/B]
[quote]
Bet you can't guess what song inspired this one.
Anyways, I'm particulary satisfied with the trumpet section.

[B]#9 - The Winter - 03:37[/B]
[quote]
Starts pretty upbeat, then suddenly goes into a sadder tone.
I'm really glad with how this one turned out.

[B]#10 - Ashes - 06:35[/B]
[quote]
Starts and ends with acoustic guitars and a nice soothing solo.
[/quote]
[B]#11 - The Human Extermination Program - 06:57[/B]
[quote]
This one's really fast.
Tried going for a more epic feeling.

[B]#12 - Re-Resistance - 15:57[/B]

Original name was 'Fullmetal Redemption'.
My magnun opus, in my honest opinion.

Good day and enjoy.
This was actually pretty good. A few of the songs felt samey, but overall I enjoyed it. 1 hour 21 may be a little long, but I didn't get bored at any point

Thanks for listening!
Yeah, I agree that 1 hour and 21 mins is a bit lengthy, since I didn't really think about the length before the whole thing was done.
Just in case anyone cares, here are all the original album cover designs:

This is actually pretty cool, reminds me of some DOOM music.
Kick ass

Thanks. Doom's music has always been really awesome (even though very rip-off-y) in my opinion.

Doom was released in 1993.
