Greetings comrade! It's time to dive into one of the greatest game series of all time, Command and Conquer by the legendary Westwood Studios!
I've been a huge fan of these games since they came out, I remember when Ra2 came out and I got my hands on it. I was blown away instantly and of course, this being the level 1 theme, I was rocking the heck out right off the bat to this game.
These themes are really interesting to cover because there's not a whole lot of shredding lead guitars but instead there's a lot of amazing electronic elements and textures. This made the arranging process totally unique to me and gave me the challenge to be true to this theme (not shred all the time) but still make it a true ToxicxEternity cover!
This challenge ended up being so fun as I got to whip out a ton of effects on my guitars that I never get to use. Stuff like phasers, flangers, lo-fi filters, delays, panning, etc etc. My audio session for this was lagging insanely by the end of this project haha. That's how you know it's good!
I was so inspired to do this theme now as opposed to any other time after seeing the man himself Frank Klepacki perform at MAGFest just a month ago. I was like "ok it's time to shred a Red Alert song" haha.
Overall I had such a blast putting this together and I hope you all enjoy it for mother Russia!
(also yes Hell March is coming soon!)
