00:00 Battle to the Death Part 1
02:28 Battle to the Death Part 2 (Guitar Solo Sudden Death)

Five years ago, we released a pack of charts for Clone Hero called the GaMetal Power Pack ( https://tinyurl.com/GaMetalPowerPack ). I've been getting emails and the occasional questioning comment over the years asking if we'd ever make a second one.

And last week we did just that! The new pack includes over 70 charts created by pro charter Miscellany, as well this special new track.

The concept to make a new "Boss Battle" track was the brainchild of Jason Paradise, who brought it up to me in a discussion we had several years ago, as early as the creation of the first pack back in 2019. I wasn't able to get around to it then, but figured I could throw something together if and when we got around to making another pack.

At first, I was going put together an arrangement with some of my more popular solos from older GaMetal songs, but what I ended up with sounded like a miniature version of the solo medley from the first pack, so I tossed that idea and decided to do something else: a bunch of soloing over one of my favorite game songs, Fierce Battle (which has now officially been renamed to "Battle to the Death" which I must admit is awesome) from Final Fantasy VI.

Originally this was only going to be the musical portion (the first 2:20), but this was taken a huge step further when the pack's charter, Miscellany, suggested I add a guitar-only "sudden death" section to go all the way with the GH3 Boss Battle influence.

Thus, "Battle to the Death" was born! I specifically wrote all of the guitar work in this song to be incredibly difficult for Guitar Hero-likes to challenge the craziest of 5 fret rhythm game players, so there's a whole lot of speed shred throughout this entire arrangement.

GaMetal Power Pack 2 is available to download (free of course) over at CustomSongsCentral, enjoy! https://customsongscentral.com/gameta...

Quick note: there are two different versions of the charts for this song, a "true boss battle" version (seen in this video), and a single-player version with both leads combined (the toughest version).
