Track 5: Toppling Titans (Boss Battle) [From “Misfit Manor”]
Original Artist: Gonkaka
Remix Artist: Gonkaka
Original Track: 103records.bandcamp.com/track/terror-on-saint-scratchs-eve-attract-mode-from-misfit-manor

So, some of you may remember Terror On St. Scratch's Even from the 2013 Christmas album; I'm not ashamed to admit that one was thrown together fairly quickly, partially due to time constraints and partially out of need to have something for the day. Part of why I started doing stuff in advance last year on is to avoid this very situation.

Dio, however, really grew fond of the song- which makes sense, as it was based on ideas from her Misfit Demons series- and when I asked her if there was any specific material she wanted me to remix for this year, she specifically requested that one, redone as a "boss" type track. So I went and gone and done and did it.

The biggest challenge was mostly thinking of ways to expand the song from what little material was there to begin with; I axed the long slow intro, leaving only about 50 seconds of stuff from the original track. However, I was lucky in that I had a vague idea of where I wanted the song to go in the very early stages, and ideas on what to do with each section started coming in once I'd run with it. I'm phenomenally happy with the result, really; some of the notes in the melody recreation (which had to be done from scratch) are a little off, but they're mostly accurate, the cheesy-but-charming synth rock vibe I was going for works like a charm, and I'm specifically really happy with how the two different breakdown sections came out. It's still likely to be the shortest of the songs on the album, but it's got much more substance to it then the original (and it obviously SOUNDS like I put more effort into it, which is largely what I was worried about).
