Title: Strength and Honor
Artists: Travis Johnson
Album: Grand Adventures
All original, composed with synth and beatbox. I also added sound effects, and the audio clips are all from the movie "Gladiator" (my favorite movie). The use of audio clips might remind you of the ingenious work of Guitorb.

Anyway, I got the idea for the music about 3 or 4 years ago, finally composed it with MMM15, and then decided to add the audio when everything else was finished. It sounds kind of experimental compared to most of my music. 

The picture is from google (from the movie Gladiator).

Thanks for listening!

Das ist mir ehrlich gesagt etwas zu eintönig gemacht und unter Metal auch nicht Rock hätte da sicher gereicht, ist so schon gut gemacht aber man kann daraus mehr machen das ist mal meine Meinung als nicht Profi.

Die Musik finde ich Klasse! Leider ist es wieder die Stimme viel zu weit entfernt von deine Klasse Musik!
Herzlichen Gruß dein Musikfreund Joachim!

Mein Künstler name ist Spartano 301, meine Freunde nennen mich Joachim, meine Jahrelange Erfahrung in der Musik ist das abmischen ( Mastern ) der Musik.

Mein Musikstill ist sehr breit gefächert, Trance, Dance, Pop, und Rock.

Musik ist für mich ein wichtige Teil meines Lebens, und es macht Spaß immer neue Musiker kennen zu lernen,

lg, von Joachim.

Nope, this is not for me. I'm urgently missing a heavy guitar tone, what is needed if you declare this as a metal song.
The keyboards are making it to soft for me and it takes to much time 'til it's getting into a rock song. The change from soft to hard at 2:27 is good. I like that theme and the power is becoming. I really like the part between 2:27 and 3:19.
Additionally there could be more power in the mix. Work on the sound!

Cheers,
Tom

Well, here we have again the phenomenon of the personal taste! Taking into account the genre some criticism are maybe entitled, but the opening in connection with the dialogs of the film, very suits for me. And noted besides, I like the melody very well. Because I value, nevertheless, the whole as a soundtrack, I have to complain of nothing. A successful increase of the economically used instrumentation (what is meant not negatively) which ends in an emotional finale! Well done! 
The film ran, by the way, a few days ago in the TV, it's a bit strange to hear the original voice from Russel. The battle at the beginning, was one of the most impressive ones I up to now has seen !

 My favorite part of the movie is the begining where Maximus is reviewing the troops and he says,"they're hungry"...that was a good movie. And this is a good song.
 Thanks for the shout!
