«If you fall 100 times, then rise 101 times.» I heard that sentence many times but honestly I don't know who's the author, and a simple web search brings too many varied results with no clear conclusion. This is also that kind of project that starts as a really small, meaningless thing that somewhat grows deep on us. I just started it as an impulsive moment of inspiration for a simple and straight "Iron Maiden style doubled lead guitars" melody. It was not until more than half a year later that I tried extending these few measures of music into an attempt of a fully-structure song. I soon noticed that had a somewhat happy and energetic vibe and "what if we go down with the mood for a moment". That's where the idea for the "bardcore?" interlude came, to later gradually go back to power metal. I then felt like this song represents very well my feelings and mood of the moment. Just like life itself, this song has its moments of falling and then rising again at full strength.

A very low-tuned industrial, electronic synth metal piece. Inspired by the depths of the sea, so production and sound may be a bit weird. Full of crunchy, muffled riffs and electronic drums combined with slightly organic elements and ambiance sounds. Nothing too complex at all. The title is a joke with the famous Deep Purple hit "Smoke on the water" but shares absolutely no similarity with the mentioned track beyond that.

We continue our journey along with the black cat that somewhat happens to be there in our way. And also moving out oy my comfort zone, once again. Some people mentioned a "wild west" vibe, but the actual intention was more into other type of wild. More like wild forests. And black cats, yeah.

Did you ever get lost in totally unknown territory, far away from human civilization? I did a few times, and while the idea may sound stressful there's also some pleasure on just exploring new mysterious places. Accompanied by harp as main protagonist along with a bunch of guitars and simple drums, we are now visiting the Mysterious Lands.

Nature is a wonderful place to stay in. Unfortunately, some humans are despicable creatures doing nothing but harming everything around them, including the environment and the other animal kinds coexisting with us. If nature could talk, protest and fight back... This tune somewhat goes into that kind of vibes with a tribal feel and intense emotions. Including some catchy melodies along with the unusual rhythms.

Once again moving a bit out of my comfort zone, since it's a kind of metal I'm not used to. Basically it was intended to sound like something from some ancient civilization, like metal in the old Egypt times. Lots of crunchy riffs, ethnic instruments and some simple but catchy melodies as usual.

Technically unfinished but still showing the idea pretty clear. This was meant to sound like a generic 90s JRPG battle theme, which were mostly inspired by prog-rock back in the time. The title is based in Sakuraba's well known tune "Unfinished battle with god syndrome" and the fact that I had to make it in 1 hour for a weekly compo and... well, just did what I could.
