Description
Genre: Dance and EDM, Techno, Rock

Correlation to theme: I was thinking of the premise of the movie 'Snowpiercer', specifically about the rich being in the first few cabins of the train, and the poor striving to go there. So my imagination of the game would be the same but Cyberpunk. Since it's on a train, I made it fast tempo to simulate the fast paced combat the game would have had.

Message from the artist:
My first time trying to make something Cyberpunk-like!

How does it fit the theme?

This slaps hard, love the drop at the beginning and this crunchy/muffled bass.

Love the use of all these risers and FX elements to accentuate the transitions between different sections, and the integration of the actual train SFX was really well done! Great work.

Fuck yeah. Few seconds in and I already know I'm in for a ride. Excellent bassline when it first opens. It reminds me a bit of bladerunner's ending credits theme. Not sure if intentional, but this sounds great. I like the weapon foley. Neat riser in the middle, before the train ambiences.

I quite like the storytelling you did here with the tune. It has a very cinematic quality to it.

Great work!

Trains! I like trains! And cybertrains with heavy bassline are cool! ^_^

This is extremely cyberpunk! Great crunchy synths and sfx use, that riser at 1:10 was so cool. Great work!

That bass is shaking my soul. Can't help but head bang to this!

First of all, I won't bat an eye if someone send this to me and tell me that it's from an AAA game. Really really solid track! I really like how you incorporated sound effects to give that extra flavor to capture the cyberpunk feel! Great job XD

This sounds great! Awesome track, love the atmosphere and the intensity that it builds up together with the story being told

Submitted(+1)

Cool build up! Really atmospheric! This would work in all kinds of genres, especially during fights in a shooter, especially in a train mission, great work! I’d make the drums a bit more “in your face”, but that’s rather personal preference! :D

If by "in your face" you mean strong, loud and powerful, I agree with you, if I make this genre again I would want to. Thanks for listening!

Submitted(+1)

Yeah, that’s what I meant. Sorry, didn’t know how else to express it :)

This is some great stuff, I love the build at the beginning leading up to the deep bass sound. Also, I love the train sounds in the piece and I really love the cover for this, super cool!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much! if you also mean the cover art, thanks too! Funny thing about the build up is that since I used a premade loop on apple garageband, I got copyright claimed on youtube for it as another song used it and they were monetized, but it doesn't do anything to my channel anyway so that's good.

The intense, driving bass and drums are great, and I like the use of train sound effects!

Submitted(+1)

Intro cinematic vibes. Really has that futuristic feeling, with great production and groove as well. Good Stuff!

I like the EDM feel. Also excellent use of sound effects. The whole track tells a clear story that is easy to follow even without visuals or other help. Nicely done!
