Music Monday #2

Welcome back, one and all, to the day you probably forgot about (I almost did too, but don't tell anyone that)! And in case you really don't remember and didn't read the post title, today is . . .


Yep, it's that time again, folks! I've got some great music coming your way. Can I get drumroll, please?

*crickets chirping*

No? Too much to ask?

*more crickets*

Good help is hard to find these days. Anyhow, today's song is . . .

"Ice of Phoenix" from the Audiomachine album Phenomena
Composed by Paul Dinletir

Now, if you don't know who Audiomachine is, allow me to explain. It's a group of composers who make music for movie trailers. Companies can buy the tracks off of them to use in their trailers. While most of their albums are industrial albums, some of them are public releases, so that everyone can buy and enjoy their music.

I was recommended their music a couple of years back, and I haven't stopped listening to them since. While my favorite album of theirs is Magnus, Phenomena is what got me hooked on them, and I just had to share one of their songs with you guys.

The track for today happens to be one of my favorites by Audiomachine. It was used for one of the Dragon Age: Inquisition trailers, and it has a very heroic tone to it. I love everything from the constant strings to the heavenly choir to the well-placed drumbeats. To me, it invokes the image of a hero rising from the dust to take on his final challenge . . . which is actually what I'm using it for in my playlist for The Tournament of Convicts. But don't just take my word for it; give it a listen yourself.


Have you heard of Audiomachine before today? If you have, which album of theirs is your favorite? Could you even list one of your favorite songs that they've done? And if you have any music recommendations, don't hesitate to tell me them!

  1. That's awesome. I really like that sort of music- haven't heard of these folks but I will definitely check them out! Do you like Two Steps from Hell? I know Tracey does :)

    1. Yeah, it totally is! You should; I recommend them very highly. I own three of their albums, and I love them all. Oh yes, you better believe it! I only heard about TSFH after Audiomachine, but I love their music just as much. :D

  2. Very epic indeed! I didn't really recognize it until the brass kicked in. XD I can definitely picture the whole hero-rising-from-the-dust image!

    @Faith: I'd tell you whether he likes TSFH or not, but he already complains that I answer questions for him too much in real life (which is true)... So I'm trying to break the habit. XD

    1. I can see why. XD Yeah, the music fits it perfectly. ^_^

      Well, it is true. So I'm glad you didn't answer for me this time around. XD

  3. This has nothing to do with the post, sorry, but I tagged you a little while back for the Sunshine Blogger tag, if you want to take a look at it! http://thisinkwell.blogspot.ca/2017/07/early-writings-tag-this-should-be-very.html Sorry it took a while for me to inform you :P

    (No I have never heard of this music but I will check it, or them, out!)

    1. Agreed; does it make you want to go out and do something heroic? XD

  6. Audiomachine is the bessssst! But I think you already knew my feelings on them. I'm pretty sure we've talked about them and TSFH quite a bit. XD But come on, they're EPIC.

    It's been a while since I've listened to Audiomachine though, so this was great! I've missed their music!

    1. Indeed they are! Yeah, we probably have, since I included some of their songs on the Burning Thorns playlist--which I really need to continue, by the way!

      They've got a lot of great stuff. If you haven't listened to their Magnus album, do so! :D
