This is one of the two best .mods available (the other being Dr. Awesome's Twelfth Warrior.)

xtd is in my opinion one of the best Amiga musicians, composing a big number of various styles, everything from deathmetal to folk music. This particular tune would be more of the metal style he often tracks. As usual, xtd continues to impress with what he can put in to the four channels allowed by the protracker .mod format. In this tune you will find drums, electric guitars (lead and background) as well as bass, all at the same time. Describing it would be hard, since it's all mixed together, but I can tell you it sounds rather good. The tune only runs for 1:50, so it's rather short, which is a bit dissapointing, but he would have needed some serious variation if the tune was to be longer, Since I actually felt I've had enough after those 1:50. So in that way, I'm glad he didn't make it longer. On the other hand, because I feel "comfortable" only after 1:50, the tune won't really last that long, which draws down the result. The samples are good, as so often with xtd, and he uses them in an awesome way with only four channels. There has never been any doubt about xtd's skill when it comes to the technical side. But I still feel this song lacks many things, among them a better lead (better lead sample, and more lead samples), and perhaps some less noisy samples. It's actually a kind of standard xtd tune, good on the technical side, but I would say it lacks creativity. Considering it's only four channels, I would say it the tune is rather good. Unfortunately the ending is way too short. It just ends abruptly with a one pattern echo. Overall; a nice metal tune which works for a few listens. Nothing that will really catch your attention, but still a nice listen if you're in to this style.
