Hi guys, here is another original composition of mine. I started writing this tune back in late September and finished writing it in November. When writing this song I pictured in my mind this song being played during a difficult & deadly racing stage in a video game where everything is at stake and your life is on the line, hence the title of the song.

Although I have labelled this composition "Thrash Metal" I was hesitent on which subgenre of metal to label this song as. This song isn't as conventional as your bog standard thrash metal song (Slightly slower tempo, snare is never on the offbeat, the use of a synthesizer in the song), but in my mind it is still more aggressive and faster than a traditional metal song.

I hope you enjoy this video and stay tuned for more VGM covers AND more original material.
