Left a comment on the video. Love it! A fresher man-o-war feel with some Iron Maiden interlude spice Makes me want to grab a cold beer and broadsword.
Thanks so much!! Ya, we're really trying to do something more original and it's really fun! I finally got the second song mixed and we're planning the next two! I posted it in another thread.
It's kind of man-o-war / iron maiden but there are some very 'classical' structures and features too: Notably, a fugal exposition at the beginning as well as countrapuntal vocal / lead guitar parts.
