This is a bit of a follow-up to the idea from the third piece for 30s30d, “The Battle of Vyazma” … more focus on ostinati-like guitar riffs and athletic drumming.. I could potentially see this idea melding with the prior one or acting on its own as a followup/sister piece.
MP3: The Battle of Varna

I know I can’t be alone in saying how excited I’d be to hear a marriage between this and your earlier ‘Battle of Vyazma’ work; they both feature that adrenaline-pumping synthesis of jammy ostinati and beefy drum-work. The eerieness of the theme from ‘Vyazma’ could also pair really nicely alongside the thicker, harder-edged material of ‘Varna’. Though, on the whole I actually prefer ‘Vyazma’ if for no other reason than it has that early ’90s PC sound that just really flips all the right switches in my nostalgia-oriented musical mind. Still, ‘Varna’ is solid stuff.
I’m in complete agreement with Jockolantern. Both of the “Battle”-themed songs you’ve come up with so far have been really solid stuff. Pairing the theme from the former with the theme and hi-fi drums/guitars of the latter sounds like a match made in heaven.
