When looking for another module I found this one and decided to download it since it had such a good rating.
It is definetely worth it!
I am not a raock / heavy metal fan but I do enjoy this style of music on modules. I know how hard it is to compose a hard rock / heavy metal module that sounds "right".
The drum, bass and guitar samples on this module are all very good. I especially like the guitar because it has a phaser effect that smoothes the overdrive distortion to give a very, very pleasant sound.
For me the only flaw of this module is that it is a bit short. A guitar solo could have been added to really make it jaw dropping.
A really like the way it finishes into a very good quality prolongued guitar note.

This song has a very catchy bassline combined with a good electric quitar in the begining. It catches the attention imidiatly. The drum brakes it shows us is also good, not terrific but good towards great. We can hear a short drum solo realised perfectly, followed by that bassline again. On the whole it is a great rock song to hear. I am not a rock fan, I must confes that, but this one really caught my attention and I must say I really like this song and I recomend it to be downloaded 90%. The samples are 8 bits and 1 is 16 bits and they sound good. The instruments are modificated by volume envelope and paning envelope. The volume envelope is simple except a couple which are more complex and we could say that the paning envelopes are simplier designed. In the patterns there are mostly three effects, panning, volume set up and arpeggio.
