My submission for the NGUAC 2024 Knockout Round.


Just a few hours before the deadline, I finally found the time to knock this out completely. This is honestly one of the best pieces I've ever made, and it is based on Terraria. Except not really, since "Zenith" in this case represents the peak of success; the pinnacle of power. It also just so happens to be one of my favorite Terraria weapons.


I'm super happy with how this turned out. The entire piece is in 7/4 with one exception in the middle, which for some reason really reminds me of a walk through the forest. And when else are you happiest than when taking a walk through nature?


Honestly there isn't too much to say here other than that. Enjoy, this was 2 weeks coming.


Edit: thanks so much for frontpage! Honestly super thrilled this gets to see the light of day.

Sorry, I took so long to leave a comment. You already know why xd.

This track is incredible. I think I may have listened to it around as much as Warbird. I just love how much variation you have. You run the perfect balance between switching it up enough to where it doesn't get boring, but also not switching it up too frequently and running the risk of the viewer getting lost.

Moments like 02:28 really display how amazing you are at what you do. Like, holy shit that ending is phenomenal. Whenever you release something new like this, it always reminds me how much there is left for me to learn, and it's really inspiring.

I have a few nitpicks like the transition between 2:12 and 2:18. Perhaps a giant build up to a bar of dramatic silence would have had a neat effect. or maybe sending the snare drums off in a unique way rather than suddenly taking the percussionist out back and shooting him like you did.

Again, I'm sorry for being two months late on this. My brain has been mush for quite a while

Thanks for reviewing as always! I still can’t believe I basically made this in like 3-4 days. Honestly my main issue with his is the transition into the second chorus out of the 6/4 part, I feel like it’s a little sudden. Also the percussionist also dies at 1:03 lol. At this point I’m basically operating on 1-2 frontpages a year, and though this didn’t quite make it past this round, I’m glad it was this one to get it anyways.

For some reason the start of the song remind me the libertadores intro , very nice!

50Steaks responds:

Just found a team in that called Coco-colo. I literally don’t have a choice but to root for them

The composition here is just goddamn awesome. The playful movements between chords give the piece an overall "dreamy" feeling. Almost reminded me of the soundtracks of Pixar movies like Inside Out or Soul (the "Great Beyond" parts at least). Beautiful piece of work

50Steaks responds:

I was going more for video game soundtrack, almost like the overworld theme for the cancelled terraria sequel Otherworld. But that works too I guess. Thanks for listening!

good ;)

50Steaks responds:

A more ironic review would’ve been “peak ;)”

Regardless, thanks!
