Davester2296 | DAR - End This Cycle @DAR-Davester2296 | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Encore! With this, the curtain finally closes and the NEW GENESIS album remake is finished!!
A bittersweet ending to the story of New Genesis, as human civilization continues its cycle of destruction and rebirth. Whether they "End This Cycle" and escape it or not is left ambiguous!
So, right away the new addition to this song is the extended intro. After the energy from Nations Collide, I really wanted to have a little more downtime and buildup here for this track. Also, I've always been very fond of the clean guitars during the intro. This is because this part was another one of my riffs that I would often play when warming up. I don't know how old the part is, but I'd almost bet that its as old as the "Sky" riff, or older!
I was very tempted to throw in the acoustic for this section, but I decided not to. Mainly because I really liked how mellow everything sounded. I also left out the "moving static" sound since I felt like it made things more dramatic when the drums start thumping away.
However, to spice things up a bit, I created a new piano part that accompanies the chorused guitar part. I really loved how both of these parts worked together, along with feeding into my spacey reverb/delay channel too!
Aside from this extended intro, the song remain structurally the same as its original counterpart. Once again I've kept the original lead melody over on the right, and the new harmonized leads on the left. The original lead melody is mostly the same, but I did change it a little in a few places just to keep things interesting.
Also, a bit of a funny story, but I can still remember when I was making the drum parts back in 2015. I had just finished making Nations Collide back then, and I had really liked the beat that I had going with the toms. So when it came to this song, I was like "Toms are fun, I want more of that!" and thus we wound up having the cool pounding beat that we have now!
Another little addition I made was adding some synth-strings to spice things up a little. I really feel like they add this kind of majestic quality to the track.
Something that I did keep from the original was the fade-out. While I have been usually making an effort not to rely on fade-outs, I think it works nicely here for this closing track.
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the song, as well as the rest of this album! ~DAR
