HARDMAN & SNYDER - Never Ever Thought (This Could Happen)

Original composition…..Alejandro Gonzalez M.

Fuerte Y Dulce

"That's What Friends Are For" is a raw, stripped-down folk-punk anthem that captures the resilience, camaraderie, and bittersweet reflections of everyday life. Built around a driving, percussive acoustic guitar, the song thrives on its rhythmic urgency, with each strum acting as both a pulse and a protest. The lone vocal delivery is direct and heartfelt, carrying a mix of defiance and melancholy, reminiscent of classic Billy Bragg-style storytelling.

Lyrically, the song shifts between moments of nostalgia, frustration, and hope—painting vivid images of fleeting joys with old friends, quiet moments of introspection, and the unshakable feeling of being caught in a system that promises more than it delivers. The recurring chorus, delivered with an almost mantra-like intensity, reinforces the idea that friendship and solidarity are the true anchors in turbulent times.

With no excess instrumentation to hide behind, That's What Friends Are For embraces its simplicity, letting the raw emotion shine through. The stark contrast between the warmth of shared moments and the weight of personal struggle makes it an intimate yet anthemic piece—one that lingers long after the final chord fades.

That's What Friends Are For
You and I, a sunlit sky, and them
We close our eyes and sometimes we pretend

Walk on water, swim against the tide
Gazing at my shoes, I wonder why
But it doesn't stop you trying
And now the sparrows, they're all flying

(Chorus)
That's what friends are for
You know the score
That's what friends are for
That's what friends are for
You know the score

Shadows fall on leaves as they descend
Stand beneath the trees with my old friends
Laugh at jokes I've heard ten times before
It doesn't matter, that's what we're here for

I can't help feeling that they've trained us well
Promising us heaven
While we're living here in hell
How it works out well, it all depends
On you and I, a sunlit sky, and them

But it doesn't stop you crying
And now the sparrows, they're all flying

(Chorus)
That's what friends are for
You know the score
That's what friends are for
That's what friends are for
You know the score

This track is more than just music—it’s a journey through emotion, thought, and the deep connection between heart and mind. I made this long ago, pouring my soul into every note, every sound, every silence. It’s a reflection of passion and reason, of feelings that words can't express.

Let it take you somewhere beyond—where emotions meet logic, where melodies speak louder than thoughts.

Thank you for listening. 💙❤️

These Chains

"Blood and betrayal turned Rome from republic to empire." - National Geographic
"A cinematic metal epic about Power, Betrayal & Legacy - Caesar's Rome told as thunder, choir and truth" -  AxAxC

IMPERIVM: Blood of Rome is AxAxC’s cinematic war-saga: a 13-track ascent from Veni, Vidi, Vici to the Ides and beyond. Built like a documentary set to blades and choirs, this record fuses Christian Rock • Deathcore • Nu-Metal • Symphonic/Cinematic metal with trap-core pulses, Latin chants, and battlefield drums. It’s Caesar’s story told in real dates, real battles, real consequences — and the mirror it holds to our present.

Across Italy, Greece, Egypt, and Hispania, the album follows the rise, the civil war (49–45 BC), the dictatorship (46–44 BC), the Ides of March (44 BC), the vengeance at Philippi (42 BC), and the legacy that crowns Augustus. This is historical metal, just blood, law, and destiny.

Personal note from AxAxC: this project carries the nostalgia of a father’s films and the reality that ambition invites knives. IMPERIVM is for anyone who builds; who believes anyway.

- VENI. VIDI. VICI. — 47 BC; Zela (Pontus)
Caesar’s famed dispatch after defeating Pharnaces II (“I came, I saw, I conquered”). Opens the saga with the certainty that defines his rise.

- CAESAR’S THRONE (Remastered) — 59–50 BC; Rome & Gaul
From his consulship (59 BC) to the Gallic command (58–50 BC), triumphs, and the cult of persona that made him inevitable.

- The Die Is Cast (Alea Iacta Est) — Jan 49 BC; Rubicon, near Ariminum (Rimini)
Defies the Senate’s order; crosses with a legion and triggers civil war. No return.

- BLOOD OF ROME — 49–45 BC; Italy, Greece, Egypt, Africa, Hispania
Civil-war arc in hard dates: Dyrrhachium (48, Pompeian edge) → Pharsalus (48, Caesar wins) → Pompey assassinated in Egypt (48) → Thapsus (46) → Munda (45). Republic broken.

- JUDAS IN THE SENATE (Remastered) — 50–44 BC; Rome
Hostility in the Curia: indictments, intrigues, and the moral panic around “king” that seeds the conspiracy.

- FIFTEENTH OF MARCH (IDES) — 15 March 44 BC; Theatre of Pompey, Rome
Assassination: Brutus, Cassius, over twenty conspirators; 23 wounds; the act meant to “save” the Republic.

- SENATE OF SERPENTS — 46–44 BC; Rome (flashback dossier)
Dictatorship and reforms: Julian calendar, land/provincial reforms, public works (Temple of Venus Genetrix), then the move to dictator perpetuo (44 BC) that precipitates the knife.

- Idus Martiae! Caesar mortuus est! (feat. Pure Addiction) — Alt cut of 44 BC scene
Choral/trap dirge of the Ides—same day, different lens; grief, shock, and the crowd’s turning tide.

- I AM JULIUS (POST IDUS) — 44–42 BC; aftershock
The revenant speech: legacy claims (calendar, laws, roads), propaganda wars, and the truth that “they killed the man, not the movement.”

- MARCH OF THE LEGIONS — 44–42 BC; Macedon & Greece
Antony and Octavian avenge Caesar; the two Battles of Philippi (Oct 3 & 23, 42 BC); suicides of Cassius and Brutus. The conspirators’ end.

- LEGION (Remastered) — Timeless creed
Eagles, standards, formations; the soldier’s oath that outlives politics.

- THE FALL OF ROME — 44–27 BC → 27 BC
From chaos to order: Octavian consolidates, and in 27 BC becomes Augustus; the Republic’s ghost yields to the Empire.

- IMPERIVM — Epilogue/Credo
The price of will. Empires fall; purpose endures. Title motif that binds our personal thesis to Caesar’s arc.

Walking Onslaughts Tale: Forest Of Aura

Spawn was thinking to himself on how does he unlocks his aura powers as they make their final trip to finding the very last Pallet. "I don't get it, Onslaught got his which surprises me, Adollaspring got his with no problem, Hollow Offspring got his, and Offspring was the first one to get his when am I gonna unlock my power." Offspring "Guys stop, we're here, Descendant Hollows. This place is where all the evil auras manifest when people turn to their dark form, and me and Kantai should know about that cause she is the main reason why I'm able to control mine with ease. Be very careful, they'll say and do things to get on your bad side, and did I also mention it's a very powerful king who lives here who been planning on destroying this forest for centuries?" Spawn "But wait, wouldn't that mean he's responsible for this?" Offspring "Nope, because he's locked up in a cage which only the élite (which is me) can break free." Hollow Offspring "Like that cage over there?" Offspring turns around and see the cage has been broken. "Well ain't that bout a bitch, my god it took me weeks to get this bastard in this cage... I almost died knocking him unconscious!" Adollaspring "Ha, he can't be that tough." King Murkaloid cast a darkness spell that caused all of them to be separated from each other. One by one, all of them was being knocked unconscious from pitch black darkness. Spawn was the only one who can endure it. King Murkaloid chopped Spawn on the back of his head to knock him out, or so he think. Spawn used his Solar flare to flash him. Spawn "Buddy, you gonna have to try waaaaay better then that to put me down." Murk wasn't happy for being made a fool, he blast a tone of shadow balls at him and Spawn was able to dodge it like a NFL combine. It may look like Spawn had it under control, but little do he know, Murk was doing it on purpose to wear his light out. (Pause) Spawn was getting tired and knew he couldn't keep this up, him and Murk quickly threw hands at each other, but Murk was too much for spawn to handle. He was getting beaten pretty badly. He tried summoning his Majestic form, but the dark atmosphere was to thick for it to work. Murk finished off spawn with his ultimate killer move 'Combusted Vortex' to kill off Spawn's light. Murk picked up Spawn to control him as one of his own by injecting him with tons of dark energy. But luckily for Spawn, it unlocked his Aura power. Spawn's body was absorbing darkness around him with a ray of light shinning at his heart. Murk was trying to figure out what was causing this. Before he had a chance to think, Spawn punched a whole in his chest with a powerful blow. When spawn went to open his hand, he discovered a Pallet was in Murk the whole time. The pallet infused with Spawn's body to gift him a new form, Dawn. Spawn's body was mixed with light and darkness. His new form was so strong that he created his own son to light up the forest. King Murk wasn't having it, he tried to charge full speed at him to stop him, but Onslaught came out of nowhere and snatched his head clean off his shoulders. "Looks like I'll be adding that to my collection." Kantai "You have a head collection?" Offspring "Actually, it started off with me but that's another Tale." All of them was happy they was back together and collected all of the pallets to save the forest. Their final location was Pallets Of The Wisp, and with the forest gaining some of it's energy again, they was able to get their with no problem. But before their departure, Ori approach Spawn and said to him "There lies a new Dawn, it's one more thing that's missing to save the forest. In order to find it, you must embrace your inner Aura." Spawn was confused on what he meant with that statement. He didn't know what it mean, but something in his head is telling him the Pallets Of The Wisp isn't enough to save the forest."
