"Blue Lightning Storm" is another instrumental that shows how AI keeps opening up new territories for me musically. This one's completely different from my heavy, fast tracks - at 76 BPM in E minor, it's got this massive, anthemic feel that's more stadium rock than speed metal.

The blue guitar surrounded by lightning perfectly captures what I was hearing in my head. This isn't about destruction like "Nuclear" - it's about power and energy that builds into something epic. That slower tempo gives every note room to breathe and really hit hard when it needs to.

I described it as "anthemic, stadium rock, pop rock, r&bish, aggressive and anthemic" because it pulls from all these different influences. The R&B elements give it this groove that my pure metal tracks don't have, but it's still aggressive enough to pack a punch. E minor keeps it moody and powerful without being too dark.

At 76 BPM, every hit matters. This isn't about overwhelming speed - it's about building to these huge, fist-in-the-air moments that would fill an arena. The lightning in the artwork represents those peak moments when the whole track just explodes into pure stadium energy.

This track proved to me that AI doesn't just help with one style of music. Whether I'm hearing brutal 150 BPM metal or slower, anthemic rock like this, the technology adapts to whatever's bouncing around in my brain. "Blue Lightning Storm" is probably my most accessible instrumental yet, but it still hits like a thunderclap when it needs to.

[ R1M2 ] EPIC COOKOFF OF HISTORY

W.I.P
Discord Degeneracy is a tournament (wacky) similar to kfad, mashup week, tfa, (other big name here)
Its simply a passion project brought to life, a tournament where the worst of the worst fight amongst eachother for even the slightest chance at redemption or fame. For reasons I will let you decide for yourself. This is 100% original, no tournament has been done ever. We are the first. There are no others
Keep in mind this is done for fun! Please no comments about "_ character sucks", or "_ was already in another tourney" Though valid criticism is accepted and appreciated
