Wow, The first attempt of the Metalpede nest! You're spoiling us! :D But wow, the heavy drums are insane, everything about this just seems heavy! The guitar chugs remind me some old crash songs you did. I'm really digging this! It still has it's "Jak" feel even with changes!

Just read the description. It does have an Industrial vibe. It sounds different compared to the other Jak tunes but manages to keep the J&D vibe going strong! :)

These demos are fun to listen to. I guess you were experimenting early on to find a style of music appropriate for the game? Love those drums, very energetic and pounding. Do you have any news on the release of your CB and J&D music?

Dude... this music :)    So much more epic than I remember in the game.

This is a demo for the Jak3 metalpede nest… It was deemed too "industrial" by the powers that be. Fair enough...
