Description
I composed a dark wave style track. This song could be used as a dark motif for a villain or during intense moments of gameplay. I composed the track using samples and virtual instruments with lots of side-chaining and modulation in Reaper.

Message from the artist:
Feel free to use in other projects. CC 4.0. I had a lot of fun making this track and I hope you enjoy listening to it.

How does it fit the theme?
The idea was to make a theme for a character who is suffering from cyberpsychosis or a particularly menacing character like Adam Smasher. The track can also be used in a situation where a lot of combat is going on.

Niiice, this fits the theme really really well. I like the sounds you used and the overall style a lot, encountering an enemy with this music in a game would really scare me though xDD

Great Job!

This is usually what I think of when I think of cyberpunk; gritty, heavy, and super distorted with weird glitchy sounds. It works so well in this jam. Only issue I have is that it feels a bit repetitive after a while, I would add a few instruments or things to change it up a bit. That said, it sounds great!

This is a really tough, gritty take on cyberpunk. That second section is even more intense and really does have that villain feel. Great work!

I like the subtle introduction, then how it gets really psycho in the B part. Great contrast! Those synths and that mic crackling are really unsettling. Great ambience!

Wow! it sounds so aggresive and ominous, and truly "Cyberpunky", my only complaint is that it sounds kind of like it was recorded with a bad mic or something, I don't know if it's intentional or not but the song itself, with the glitches and FX, is stunning!

The bad mic was intentional. I was experimenting with some EQ effects in there to give a more lo-fi feeling.

Ah ok thanks for telling me!

Really creative and interesting sound design! I could totally see this as an introduction to a completely distorted and ominous villain as you mentioned. Great job!

Very unsettling sound, samples in the music will probably will interfere with SFX of the game... I can imagine how nervous should I be playing this ^_^

Really unique sound, definitely dark and and threatening! Pretty adventurous sound design, with the gated snare, noisy synths, and syncopated/dissonant parts, all with the spooky bass lurking in the background.

I think the difference in volume levels between the “primary” and “secondary” instruments was a little too intense, and I found the noisier parts somewhat overwhelming. A little bit of EQ to tame some of the harsh highs from multiple noise sources at once would help a lot!

Thank you! I definitely agree with your feedback. I was going to try and work on that more this morning but overslept! I was going for a bit overwhelming but I definitely could have dialed it back.

I'm scared to see the guy trying to kill me when this is playing. This is so aggressive and honestly terrifying. So I think you nailed it :)

It's dark and intense, so it definitely fits the theme!

Cool! Definitely nailed the cyberpsycho vibe.

I echo what the previous commenter said as well. Those gritty texture sounds with the incredibly lush and detailed top end remind me a lot of Amon Tobin as well. I can just imagine a super buff scary dude coming at you during this combat theme.

Great work!

This gave me Amon Tobin vibes, great work on the glitches! Also the walking-speed BPM really fits the title of the track! I’d gladly get in a boss fight with this playing in the background!
