The announcement of the new movie really inspired me to compose a piece in the production style of early 2000s action-thriller movies like National Treasure and Tomb Raider.

Let me know what you guys think!

It sounds like an intense piece of a soundtrack. How long did it take you to create?

I think it has more of a James Bond vibe if you take out the vocal chorus. It is great! 

Bring your bass guitar out more!  AWESOME piece of music

Really cool. Sort of James Bond meets Front 242. But you've got to have a solid bottom going through the whole thing. The drums are kind of naked.

I love the dissonance in the choir - conjures up some RPG music vibes for me.  The rest of it sounds kind of overly electrified to me.  I guess I'm more of an orchestral purist but you're using lots of film music effects that an orchestra can't naturally produce.  I am not sure how genre-appropriate the glitchy sound effects are to your goal.  To me just having a drum kit would have been enough.  Overall it's quite an enjoyable listen!

Hey man, thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean by film music effects, though. All the orchestra parts is just the standard playing articulation of those instruments aside from a woodwind flutter/trill and a horn rip toward the end.

I mean how the beat itself is electronic and run through various filters and effects and such - to me that makes it sound overly futuristic.

Wow Im definitely seeing nick cage running around in my head. Nice!!

lol. What did you use for the synth parts? sounds like you've got some pretty cool sound libraries too.

The bass is a mix of sawtooth and sinewave and the intro part is an arpeggiated "pluck" sound run through a flanger; using the Sylenth synth.

The filtered part around 50 seconds was a chunk of an analogue synth loop in Aeon Rhythmic that I chopped up and pitch shifted to make it play what I wanted.

I have updated the OP with a remixed version of the track. Now with more bass like people wanted.
