Alright, so I did enter this month's Dwelling of Duels, but apparently Paragon (the organizer) didn't receive the email so the song didn't make it. I'm rather disappointed about that, but on the plus side, it means I can post it elsewhere before the voting period concludes.

So here it is... My rockin' cover of the Star Ocean battle theme, and one of my favorite titles of any battle song: "For Achieve!"

I'd just like to make it clear that most of the lead guitar is pieced together from smaller segments since A. I'm not that great of a guitarist, and B. there are some stupid stretches required to play some of that fluently. (I was told it was still a valid entry so long as the small segments were actually played) I'm sure there are easier ways, but eh. I wanted to get it done in one sitting, and I did. I'm really proud of the bass tone and overall sound of this one. I don't usually go for snappy drums, but this one's an exception. I might even go so far as to say it's punchy. (I've always wanted to use that word)

Man, you've come a long way from that beep/boopy shit you made 5 years ago. Looking forward to more.

Great song man :) From what I've heard of the other entries, you stood a chance of doing really well in this one.

Yeah, I'm really bummed that the email didn't go through. :( Oh well, I'll give it another shot next time.
