Fading Tail

Instrumental video-game battle rock, fast driving punk-metal groove, a memorable angular minor-key lead motif on distorted electric guitar, tight punchy live drums with forceful kick and snare, gritty bass locked to the kick. Begin sparse and restrained with muted guitar and a measured pulse; build section by section into increasingly intense riffing, denser drum fills, and a hard-charging peak; then progressively strip away layers and energy, ending with a slowing-feeling, weakened final guitar phrase and a fading, unresolved tail. Crisp attack, raw energetic band mix, guitar and drums prominent.
