Made a new track! Still lacking vocals but I'm satisfied for now.

Posting the blurb here...~~~
===
Surrounded by stars, the beauty of Earth is striking. Contrasted with the bitter taste of rage, you take it all in for but a moment before the battle commences.
A battle for life and death, man and endless machine, Mars and Earth. Grab every chance you can and become legend!
===
When I visualise this song in my head, I see it as the final epic battle between the hero and the impossible odds they face up against an immortal army. The whole battle takes place during re-entry to Earth, finally taking the fight back to the machines that overran Earth in the past, forcing what was left of humanity to live a perilous life on Mars for a century.
I've been watching a lot of sci-fi anime again, listening to lots of Scandroid and keeping tabs on Space-X's progress towards establishing human colonies on Mars so I'm quite far down the rabbit hole, I guess.
This is my first real attempt at blending hard rock/metal and synthwave elements together in which the synth elements are not completely taken over by the guitar elements (like in previous songs).
I feel I could still take this a couple of steps further but I'm satisfied for now. I do want to add vocals one day but that's not possible at the moment as I don't have a mic on me.
On the production side, I'm attempting to keep dynamics more and more in my songs. This one is set at -14LUFS so it corresponds with current publication specifications for online retailers. Not that I'm going to sell it... Just good practice.
I hope you enjoy it!
