I came into the Half-Life fandom pretty late in '2014' but I've been hooked ever since. The world, environment and characters that these games create is so interesting and so addicting it's honestly shocking that I have played anything different since Half-Life. Something I've always in enjoyed watching are Half-Life Speedruns, the speed and movement that can be obtained in these games is unbelievable and honestly something to behold.
One of first one I ever saw was 'Half-Life in 20:41'; at the time I had just made it up to 'Lamda Core' in game after a few days effort, so seeing this run was INSANE! Even over 6 years later it's still impressive to watch.

My addiction to Half-Life reached it peak in early 2016 and at the time I had plans to make a Medley for Half-Life, but I always had trouble arranging the music in a way that was both unique and entertaining. But recently I had an idea to make this arrangement interesting, and it's something that musician have been using to make novel musical ideas into great ideas - Speed. After that little epiphany, all the ideas started flowing, now we weren't just doing a Metal cover we were doing a Thrash Metal cover. And now after 4 years in development, I have made a Half-Life Metal Cover; Hopefully it was worth the wait.

So just for the record I don't consider this a medley, honestly I don't know what to consider it. So how about we just go with "A piece of music takes inspiration and references from the original HL1 soundtrack...mostly 'Nuclear Mission Jam'. So yeah that's why the title is so different from my regular format. Regardless of that hope you enjoyed this, and remember finishing Half-Life is just the beginning!
