Sub Zero Project - Path Of The Warrior (Defqon.1 2023 Anthem) [Q-dance Records]

[ThePrincipal]

pretty plain and bland. possibly a good thing that the anthem is that way though. I do wonder if SZP still like making hardstyle given their last years of output......

Nothing good, nothing bad.
If u change the random second kick (yea it really feels like a AI said "put this kick in, it works for the most)
it would be a solid track for me.
Melody will catch me after some listens, Im sure.
I would have prefered a real hardcore end instead of just speedin up this climax "a bit", but yea, its not SZP style and we had much worse.

++ First kick

I think all has been said before me, nice first kick and first climax part but way too overcompressed second mid-intro kick and a seemingly unnecessary sped up part at the end - that's because they would like to take note there's also hardcore at Defqon right? I think what would've worked out is to have a separate hardcore remix like idk Playah's remix of Unite

what surprised me tho is how catchy the melody is! I've listened this track like 4-5 times it was released and I neglected it after but coming back to this made me remember the notes almost perfectly. it's not the most complicated melody tho but well done still

Melody equals summer equals Defqon. I'm sure this will hammer in June.

But, it's yet another Sub Zero Project with superheavy mid-intro kicks along with the same synth + kick combination in the climax. No one will ever remember this as an epic Defqon tune in a few years.
