This is battle music with a chiptune flavor. I used the magical 8-bit plugin for NES stlye sounds. It's got a hard driving bassline. It could be used in a final battle in a game, or a boss fight. It gets pretty intense, with some complex drum parts.  Contact me if you need an edit that loops.

This sounds amazing.  What was your inspiration for it? How long did it take you make?

I wanted to try making an older NES style boss battle music. I sort of emulated a guitar riff with NES sounds... but then fleshed it out with other parts and drums and whatnot and just took it from there. 

I think this took about 3 months of off and on work. Maybe 30 hours from start to finish... I don't really keep track when making music. 

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.

I really enjoy this song and would love to use it in my game for Android. I'll be sure to add attribution!
