Phew, I've finished it, finally X[]... OK, let me start from the beginning...
After recently getting the East/West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra VST (Silver Edition), I instantly was left amazed by all of the excellent sounds and instrumentes that East/West had to offer, so of course, I made a song. In other words, this song is the first ever song I made with East/West. It's definitely the most complicated too: it's practically impossible to hear this song in FL Studio without your CPU level reaching 100% usage, and I'm not exaggerating when I'm saying that I hear more laggs and crackles than the actual song when hearing this on FL Studio: even in the more simple parts. Yes, in other words, to hear the song, I had to export it every time, and when remembering how complicated this is, exporting took ages, so it was very awkward to make this song. Still, I enjoyed every second of it!
I personally think this song really matches with the name. The strings playing trills and the low brass hits give the song a dangerous feel, hence the name Cobra. This originally started as a song I was doing for a collab series with Darklight17, which is why the first part sounds more orchestral and doesn't fit exactly with the whole theme of the song, but as I added the strings playing trills and the ridiculous amounts of brass, Darklight heard it and said although it's a good song, it doesn't fit with the series since it's too modern. So he helped me think of a name, and we came up with 'Cobra' This led me to adding cobra sound effects, and making the song fit with the name as much as possible, and here's the result. This also has one of the best endings I ever wrote.
Anyway, every sound in here is from East/West, except the non-orchestral drums (I used a few timpanis, bass drums and orchestral cymbals from East/West) which were downloaded drum samples and except the pizzicatos which are heard most at the beginning which were those free 'Monster Staccatos'. It's weird, but this song is a mixture of majestic, boss-theme-like, and dangerous, so it fits for people who think of the cobra as majestic, who think of the cobra as dangerous, and who think of the cobra as some powerful enemy they have to defeat ;).
Thanks to Blackhole12, borntodj167, Phenomic and some of my other RL friends for hearing the song, Darklight17 for giving his contructive criticism for the song and you for randomly clicking on this song. It took me ages, so I'd really appreciate some feedback - I respond to all reviews, and if it's helpful I'll usually review back with a really really really big review ;).
Enjoy the song, thanks for listening, thanks for reading, and don't forget to vote and comment xD.

EDIT: This song was WAY too loud... turned it down a bit.
EDIT #2: Turned the song up a little, varied one of the melodies (still not enough variety in the song, but enough for now) and made the volume of the crash cymbals a little lower. Should sound slightly better... Man this is getting 0-bombed :(.
