We've Got Hostiles - Black Mesa Metal Remix (feat. Manuel Hirner)
Metal remix of the track "We've Got Hostiles" from the original 2012 Black Mesa soundtrack by Joel Nielsen, featuring a guest solo by Manuel Hirner of @rememberyourscars. Stream on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/6BUQEs6CYimG5ti1kn2Ote When the Black Mesa dev team recently announced that the Xen chapter would go open beta soon, I - as a huge Half-Life nerd - was of course super excited and decided to commemorate this event with a metal remix. Both the new soundtrack and the Xen beta are available now at the time of this release but when I was planning this remix, I unfortunately did not yet have access to the new Xen soundtrack. So, for this one, I went with "We've Got Hostiles" from Joel Nielsen's original Black Mesa soundtrack released back in 2012. Huge thanks to Manuel Hirner, my bandmate from Remember Your Scars, for supplying the amazing guitar solo you hear during the outro chorus! Check out his music projects and books via the link below. Shoutouts also to another bandmate, EdiEmptYness, whose solo from one of Remember Your Scars' work-in-progress songs inspired the chorus melody in this remix. Also, I wanted to do a bit more on the visual side for this remix. Upping my production game, so to speak. Therefore, I got another buddy, Tobias Hartmann (link below), on board to capture some ingame footage and edit it. He has managed to pull off somewhat of an emerging storyline with this one and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Unfortunately, the Source Engine gave us quite some trouble during video capturing, so please excuse the occasional framedrop. This was also a learning experience for us, and learn we did indeed. I can probably already spoil that there's gonna be a follow-up project in this style, and the next one's certainly gonna go more "smoothly". If you like what I'm doing and want to support me, consider buying my instrumental metal album "ORACLE" on Bandcamp, iTunes, or wherever you feel comfortable. If you enjoy my style on this remix, chances are you will also enjoy my original music! Have a good one, y'alls :) BKM is endorsed by PYRAMID STRINGS.
