"Action Boss" from Hammerfight on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (2009)
Composer: Kranx Productions, qMattp
Album: Hammerfight
Label: Humble Bundle
Publisher: Kranx Productions
Developer: Konstantin Koshutin
Now, I don't think I've actually heard this song in-game because I was unable to make it to the first boss at the end of Chapter I (see Friday's article for that explanation). I chose this particular piece because I love some good boss battle music, and "Action Boss" captures that feeling of going up against a foe more formidable than you've faced up to this point. The snare drums also add that militaristic feeling, while the long-winded horns in the bottom act like drones, creating a fuller sound all the while helping to build that ominous feeling throughout the song.
Unfortunately, I can't tell if the song stopping abruptly is just the composer's choice or if it's supposed to loop back to the beginning or repeat slightly later in the song. That's where the audio file stopped, so I kept it in rather than trying to figure out where it might repeat to.
