Holger Strunk- Stranger Spike (track review)

This is an instrumental Melodic Metal track that begins with a “Rush” guitar-driven riff and continues with some basic synth pads in the background to accompany the guitar sound. At 1:45, the basic pads become meaningful and important parts of the orchestration as the “RetroWave” influence becomes the foreground of the track. The track continues with no surprises (from the mood’s perspective) since the melodic guitar lines motivate you to smile and relax as you listen to the attractive flow of the music. A music supervisor would choose this track for a cinematic scene of a driver in Los Angeles exploring the streets, immersed in the neon lights of the night.
