***** not really THAT mindblowing...Don't get me wrong (6 hours is pretty amazing), I am not at Varien's producer level at all but I produce music too and sometimes everything goes so well that you may have something down in less than 2 hours :D the thing is perfecting it tho... layering, eqing, mixing, mastering.
I think that's a koto, or a shamisen* (the asian string plucked instrument) I love the way it's implemented in the song! Varien always makes epic compositions!
Varien - Gunmetal Black 0:01-0:15 Peaceful asian forest scene. A samurai meditates high up on a mountain peak overlooking the forest. 0:15-0:23 A trail of smoke and debris winds through the forest tree line. The samurai notices a robot flying through the forest at high speeds leaving a cloud of dust in it's wake. 0:23-0:44 The samurai leaps down into the forest and begins his chase through the winding forest terrain, keeping up with the machine. Green moss covered tree trunks create an interesting swerling bridge for the samurai to use in his chase. 0:44-0:57 Suddenly the robot stops on a dime in the forest ahead of the samurai. The samurai slows down and creeps out from the bushes. Causiously he gets closer, examining the robot's black exo-skeleton and orange light shining out through the openings in it's armor. 0:57-1:11 A shockwave made by the robot knocks the samurai down. he looks up and gets to his feet... 1:11-1:39 Suddenly, the robot unleashes a barrage of attacks taking the samurai off guard. The samurai frantically tried to dodge and evade all attacks as missiles and lazors cut through the forest around him. The samurai doesnt know how long he can keep this up, but at a window of oppertunity he manages to take the upperhand. 1:39-2:07 The samurai gets his sword out and begins his counter attack. Cutting at the robot, sparks splash off it's black armor. The machine can't be offensive while taking all this damage. It is totally stunned. The samurai is winning, and the end is in sight! 2:07-2:20 Suddenly, the robot releases a big blast that kicks up all the dust in the area. the dust is cleared by a beautiful breeze and the samurai lays motionless on the floor in the distance. 2:20-2:34 The samurai's palm strikes the ground and he slowly lifts himself up, regaining his footing and looking up at the robot. He glares at the machine, with a look of frustration. 2:34-2:37 The robot pulls an orange glowing mechanical sword out of itself. The samurai knows this will be the final battle... 2:37-3:05 Both the robot and samurai lunge at each other, moving at a blurred speed right into an extremely fast pace flury of attacks. cuttin at each other's blade. giving and taking. Sparks from each sword create a rain of golden light as the two winde around each other slashing frantically to cut each other in half. 3:05-3:18 The area around them is being devistated by the force of the fight. Ruins crumble, tree's shake, and shockwaves rip through the long grass and flowers. 3:18-3:32 The samurai starts dashing from every direction cutting through the robot. The robot somehow deflecting critical hits as it continuing the fight. The machine kicks it into over drive and the samurai cant keep this up any longer. 3:32-3:38 the final blow is struck... and a head spins through the air, while everything goes black. who won? You decide.
Varien comes through once again with this awesome song. This song brings back the older nostalgic dubstep from monstercat incorporating lots of epic new sounds to complete this release. I love the progression of this song. The 018 album is definantly going to make a name for itself with these epic songs. WOOOOO MORE PEGBOARD NERDS!!! i knew this was coming but i wanna hear this so bad. Here it comes was phenomenal and i love to hear what else they can do. The pegboard nerds never disapoint us. 018 is just around the corner.
7 years later and I still fucking love this song, so unique! Blew my mind back then and still does now. So many layers to it, every time I listen I hear something different. Came back to this because the Genshin Impact 2.1 music reminded me of it.
I used to not like Varien that much, but with his last 2 releases, he's turning into one of my favorites. I want to see him try electro, or just something that's different. Pegboard Nerds are back, hopefully with something that isn't as disappointing as Bassline Kickin'.
***** I know he's one of the most unique and versatile, I meant explore a genre that he's never done. I wish that all artists would do that. Neilio never has and probably never will step out of hardstyle, which kind of annoys me.
I see it like this: an honorable, lone, masked figure searches for the answers to his past. But to get those answers, he has no other choice but to fight to get them.
This song is awesome. Real varien style, a metallica feel. Now, everybody was complaining about Stonebank "Spamming" his songs on 018. Well, now Varien and PBN have 2 songs on 018. Guess they are spamming too, huh? I hate people -.-
Oh Dear.... This song is so epic. I never really liked varien but this was amazing. it was so adventurous. It made me feel like I was watching a Japanese movie, but WOW....this was perfect. Much better than Scarlet Dawn. Nothing much to say. I wasn't really a big fan of electro rock. Pegboard Nerds, New Style? Pfft... I heard its gonna be big room. Hopefully, it won't be as bad as bassline kickin
***** I said I HEARD it was big room. I never actually listened to it yet. But I saw it on soundcloud this morning. I didn't listen to it when I had made this comment.
Im really digging this style of dubstep. Instead of blasting the WUBWUBWUBs in our faces, its more used as a subtle seasoning over this already good song.
why do i always get the feeling that varien songs would be perfect as soundtrack? this for example would be perfect in a japanese movie with samurai and stuff like that
Not to be rude about this song just in case you liked it , but with songs like these it's sure gonna take them a while to get there, didn't like this song imo
I know , and even though it's just above 40,000 more to get there , songs like these won't attract more people to subscribe Is what I meant cause this wasn't great imo..
I was doing some research for a story I'm working on, deciding on a color for a specific thing. I typed "gunmetal black" to see some color examples, and this was the first result. Pretty good find.
Actually it's electro house, the song's already out in Thissongissick.com It's cool, nothing special comparing to their previous work, but nonetheless... still cool =)
***** They classified it as Electro house, but it has alot of Trap elements as well as Hardstyle like you said and even bounce in my opinion (from what i listened to at least) ;D
***** and it is, bigroom imo is lazy electro house and even though it's highly "apreciated" by alot of people, It's kinda bringing the EDM industry to the ground. Everything is TOO generic and it honestly sounds the same =/ Me as a producer, am trying to stay away from Bigroom (my friend and i attempted bigroom making it non generic and it turned out electro house xD) and im drifting more towards DnB, since that's my fav genre and it has alot of variety ;D
I was very proud to have this beautiful peace of music as my "Birthday Release", you could say haha. 9/10 | Great song Varien, I love the vibes that come from that melody.
Fun fact: This track was made from start to finish in just 6 hours. Varien says he was really in the zone that day.
***** cool story bro
***** holy crap

omg sup bro
I don't know which one it is, but just wanted to let you know it's spelled Shamisen :)

I know it was pre-released already i just like to wait for the real monstercat release to give me something to look forward to
***** Monstercat is only online....
Correct me if i'm wrong, but i have never seen a Monstercat album in stores.
***** released means that it's put up on iTunes, Google Play, etc.
I don't know why, but this kinda reminds me of "Mars Attacks" at points in the song.

Pegboard Nerds are back, hopefully with something that isn't as disappointing as Bassline Kickin'.
"or just something that's different"
Varien is the most versatile out of all the artists on Monstercat. He did do Electro already anyways.
***** I know he's one of the most unique and versatile, I meant explore a genre that he's never done. I wish that all artists would do that. Neilio never has and probably never will step out of hardstyle, which kind of annoys me.
Im liking Varien more and more with each release.
The opposite with Pegboard Nerds. Just hope they don't dissappoint as much.
IMO
JDirazoqui Pegboard Nerds have been on a decline for me too. Here It Comes was awesome, so hopefully they climb back up for me.
I'd like to hear him do it again.
A ninja listened to this, he became a Sith Assassin.
rip swtor
Interztellar that was me
Was he force sensitive and what was his midiechlorien count lol jk
The18527 nope not in my book to me swtor is better than ever
Became Madara
I'd love to see a film based on what Varien was thinking of when he made this masterpiece.
I can see it being a silent and honorable fight between two samurai overlapped by this song.
Probably Jack I like to think it was made for Mortal Kombat X (yes, i know that's not technical a movie, but it still works...kinda)
I see it like this: an honorable, lone, masked figure searches for the answers to his past. But to get those answers, he has no other choice but to fight to get them.
Probably Jack 47 Ronin ?
Well it took him 6 hours, he was in the zone that day :D
This song is so good. Around 1:20 when the background fades in..chills every time.
Varien somehow reminds me of Celldweller. Just the mixing of genres with versatility and uniqueness of each song.
This song is awesome. Real varien style, a metallica feel.
Now, everybody was complaining about Stonebank "Spamming" his songs on 018.
Well, now Varien and PBN have 2 songs on 018.
Guess they are spamming too, huh?
I hate people -.-
Simply brilliant song.
Well done Varien ;)
thanks

Oh Dear....
This song is so epic. I never really liked varien but this was amazing. it was so adventurous. It made me feel like I was watching a Japanese movie, but WOW....this was perfect. Much better than Scarlet Dawn. Nothing much to say. I wasn't really a big fan of electro rock.
Pegboard Nerds, New Style? Pfft... I heard its gonna be big room. Hopefully, it won't be as bad as bassline kickin
Its way better than baseline kickin. Wub. I heard a wub somewhere in there.
Firstly: Big room is awesome. Period.
Secondly: bassline kicking was good, what do you want?
***** Bassline was OK at best.
***** I said I HEARD it was big room. I never actually listened to it yet. But I saw it on soundcloud this morning. I didn't listen to it when I had made this comment.
***** Generic Big Room is terrible. It's empty, there's no emotion, it's repetitive. When you add some style to it, it sounds great.
Love this song!!!!!! Great composition and pure genius!!!!!
***** Yes please!
Nice job Varien
Before anyone says first, this is the first comment.
Miniman_Eleven Can I say first now?
Rogueruler no.
Miniman_Eleven Ok.. then, first !
this is like my favorite monstercat release EVER
The beginning of the song matched the visualizer's intro perfect.
Good job Varien, the instrumental parts were a great influence!
u should add to ur channel [Dubstep] Darude - Sandstorm
Jiren: the warriors im needed for are already gone
Goku: *Masters ui*
Jiren: NANI
Varien the god of dubstep. This song sounds like it be in a movie with a lot of action.
dat wobbling bass... O-o
oddly enough that is my favorite part of the song
Im really digging this style of dubstep. Instead of blasting the WUBWUBWUBs in our faces, its more used as a subtle seasoning over this already good song.
varien... how on earth does he only have 60000 subs on youtubs?
Because no one wants to bruise their ears with this crap
+ThatBlondGuy101 lmao
Lewis Adelaide ever seen aero chords sub count?
Yeah any music can do that, you gotta use this revolutionary system known as volume control.
this sounds like Japanese rockdubstep
Metal* big difference bro
Little Fav i never listen to metal and rock so i trust you mate
a little bit lol xD
called metalstep btw
Zombisrac i thought it was drumstep? i could be wrong but "Valkyrie" is listed as drumstep i believe
Varien really does need to do a soundtrack for a fighting game or something. I find his style perfect for that sort of thing, especially this track.
Every single varien "technique" is in this and the result is amazing
why do i always get the feeling that varien songs would be perfect as soundtrack? this for example would be perfect in a japanese movie with samurai and stuff like that
yes exactly, or also the first battle of sucker punch, but the soundtrack made by korn and skrillex was also very good
yeah that would pretty amazing ahah, good ol' starwars never disappoints :D
Cyphosis same
I believe Varien did the soundtrack for 300 : Rise of an Empire
*****
Nnnnnaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh... That scene with Duel of Fates was the only good thing that came out of that movie.
The audio and video are a bit shifted... That's a silly mistake, especially for an extremely epic song like this. Nice job, Varien! Really good song!
Did he just mix metal, dubstep, and dojo shit
yes he did
yes he did
"Dojo"
It seems a bit more Indian (like the subcontinent or maybe its because I'm Indian myself) than dojo to me.
goa dubstep LOL
man, this is ONE GOOD example of what we can call art!

How did Monstercat slip their "Uncaged Tour" ad in literally EVERY video, or have i just never noticed?
Yeah it's some kind of feature they got on their youtube channel I guess. Before the PBN tour it was the "017 Ascension" ad on every video :p.
It's a new RUclips feature. It allows channels to have a custom introduction for 3 seconds that shows up on all of their videos.
