This is the last of the songs I have to upload for the moment, the third boss theme. This is my other favourite in this batch, due to some straightforward riffs and a bit of stylistic experimentation. I think the chords and melodies really mix well in this one, especially the part just before the solo.

The only thing I can think of changing in this song is turning down the guitars a bit, since they're pretty obviously bleeding at some points, most evident during the solo. I also will probably write out the solo a bit more than I have, since really the only thing I wrote at first was the first measure of it.

Speaking of which, that particular part is a reference to Avenged Sevenfold's "And All Things Will End." The rhythm part underneath the solo also bears some resemblance to it, though I tried to avoid outright copying it. The intro is in reference to Sublime's "April 29, 1992 (Miami)," and the verses are an attempt to shake things up a bit by having some reggae influence as a result (although I clearly have no idea how to properly implement reggae). Yes, that does mean that I put Sublime and Avenged Sevenfold in the same context. Yes, that context is Touhou. Nothing is safe.
