Story

This is the fourth track on the Cinematic64 album, released on December 4, 2019. To me, one of the better tracks on the album.

 

THE DARK DAYS (Aztec Challenge) - We see how The Arrivals have devastated everything. We organize. We find pockets of resistance. We will fight with everything we have. We find our strength in the dark recesses of our minds. We organize and attack everything we can, as long as it makes them pay for our losses. Sometimes chaotic, every so often organized and devastating.

Part of the 8-Bit Symphony, regenerated, and taken back in time.

Overall rating

The original SID of Aztec Challenge is pretty dark by itself - it's even darker here. Not pure evil dark, but the slowed down tempo and the raspy, shattering bass would definitely make me run away from this track in a dark alley. A woodwind-dominated break provides some reprieve before we are pulled back into Beelzebub's simmering lava for the conclusion of this track.
