@@RetroCat969you gotta be trolling. About 3-4 years ago they disabled the dislike counter. so only the creator can see how many dislikes something has now. Before everyone could see if a video had 35k dislikes or something ridiculous.

Scooby-doo and the gang are trapped in a haunted house on south beach Florida. Rabid coke fiends lurk in every corner! Scantly clad new wavers threaten to overrun them with dark mind powers! Will the gang survive?! Can Scooby kick *his* coke addiction?! Tune in next time for the shocking revelation!
Same, I draw in photoshop almost exclusively to this kind of music. Unfortunately there isn't that many good albums of it. Lazerhawk is definitely the best
The whole album is still great, not tired of it at all. I listen to it once or twice a month. October is coming, I'm going to be listening to this near every day.
I honestly want to make an 80's action movie in the vain of John Carpenter, with Skull being voiced by Michael Biehn and Shark being half live action and CGI being voiced by Peter Weller. Using this Entire Album as the soundtrack.
Lazerhawk basically took every movie they loved from the 80's and made a track. Brilliant Stuff: Built to Kill - Terminator Chinatown - Bloodsport Mad Max 2 - King of the Streets Etc. The connections to all those movies are obvious and it makes the songs that much more interesting and well done.
Does anyone know if the guy that made this sampled blade runner because the first song has a repetitive sound in it that sounds like it. I watched blade runner just yesterday so yaaaaaa.
I also recommend Hotline Miami if you haven't tried it yet. The soundtrack is partly why the game is made to perfection. The sequel should be out really soon, too.
This is like death metal meets 80's electronic. Badass stuff right here. Time to put on my sunglasses and drive down the highway blasting this shit like a boss 8).
Sany Suny you should listen to the melodies in death metal instead of being ignorant and not understanding the similarities in melodic structures between the two genres and saying stupid things that make others disbelieve in any of your musical experience
Udens Zirnis Dude, I guess you took "heavy" metal for "death" metal. Listen to Cannibal Corpse. If it reminds you of LazerHawk, then I guess i'm wrong.
Ben Whelan If they ever make a new 2D Castlevania, looks to me like they have got themselves a new composer. Please make it just like Super Castlevania with beats like Children of the Night 52:43
Husband demanded I play this over the speakers while playing Hacknet; original music was too tame for him. Pretend-hacking experience drastically improved.
Built to Kill is itself a masterpiece. Find me another song that can keep the depth of its tone without falling on a crescendo. It landed like a bomb when it hit the strongest point but held the same melody all throughout. This particular track was masterfully done.
Nightmare Unfortunately, I doubt it will. I mean, it COULD... but I could see them not allowing it based on some copyright infringement crap. If they don't allow it, hopefully they had the foresight to license a lot of other music that you'll be able to select for your levels. I know there were a lot of songs on the Hotline Miami and HLM2 soundtracks that weren't actually present within the games.
Kevin Walter there are lots of games that let you import your own music. as long as you aren't distributing music you don't have the rights to i don't see why it would be a problem. depending on the framework for reporting copyright infringement (and there should be some way to do so) i think it would be a great addition. that said, any time you have user-made content you have to concern yourself with copyright infringement. really, anywhere you can import content you have to worry about it. you want to hear a story about copyright infringement that is absolutely ridiculous? yes you do. alright, so city of heroes was slammed with a copyright infringement suit thanks to their character editor. apparently you would be able to design characters similar to marvel designs. like, afaik you weren't even able to import stuff. just edit pre-existing costumes. that's how much you have to watch out for it sometimes. anyway, if you're in a band i can actually see it being a great way to get some free press. you make a hotline miami 2 level and include some of your songs. the music industry is pretty dog-eat-dog and you have to do whatever you can to catch peoples' attention now.
aaron marko Yeah. People get really weird with music sometimes. Like how Bethesda has an embargo on music from their past games. You're not allowed to distribute mods that include that music. You can use all of the visual aspects of those previous games you want... just don't you dare put that Morrowind music in Skyrim!
Kevin Walter for a lot of corporations especially, intellectual property law is akin to "use it or lose it". like, let's say they let ONE thing slip through. something really innocuous like using morrowind music in skyrim. it is literally nothing that is going to actually cost them money. but what it does is set a precedent that other people will probably be able to leverage in court against them. now, i'm not saying it definitely would be used against them, but in their defense it's better to err on the side of caution and protect what's theirs rather than risk that someone will use that precedent against them in court. when you're dealing with big franchises like the elder scrolls, the risk is even greater. because you have no idea what effect that precedent might have on your future legal cases. it might wind up costing you tens of millions of dollars or giving up an entire IP like the elder scrolls because you simply didn't defend your copyright to the full extent of the law.
Kevin Walter The music might be partially owned by the composers and they are protecting the rights of the contracted musicians. The 3D artists work for the company so they probably don't care as much if it gets used in mods, but its a different story when it comes to contracted work if they don't fully own the rights.
It's like the 1980's met the 1860's and had a butt baby called the 2010's who was sort of a hipster but had a good enough taste in music and really enjoyed the song "Monster Mash" while growing up to the tunes of Rob Zombie coupled with old Addams Family re-runs and two decades worth of synth-pop. This is the result. Bathe in the music. Bathe in it.
SlamifiedBuddafied More like he played super nintendo alot. Not a bad thing. Very Castlevania and Mega Man. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's what he was going for.
ComatoseFly The irony here is that I've never owned any Nintendo product (barring a GameBoy Color for Pokemon). I do find it amusing however that you've deducted gaming in particular. That being the case, I only have one thing to tell you and one of the most overused memes among a certain variety of people. There are twenty-seven words in your comment. 2 - 7 = -5 Half life 2: Episode 2 came out 5 years ago and 5 years is approximately 1800 days. 1 + 8 + 0 + 0 = 9 9 / 3 = 3 Half Life 3 confirmed.
SlamifiedBuddafied No irony at all. And I've deducted gaming because this synth and atmosphere driven music is very, very familiar. Even David Raposa (the graphic artist for whom this music was written) in his preview for Skull and Shark (the comic for which this album was written) starts it off with 'Dave Raposa' written in the same font as the old Sega logo. Simple arithmetic, 2 + 2 = 4. I don't get your arithmetic, but then again I've never played Half Life. P.S. No hostility intended.
ComatoseFly There is no point to the arithmetic, just simple stupidity in somewhat obscure gaming references. But yes, I imagine that synths would be attractive to any gamer's ear.
Funny me, I'm a metalhead to the heart. Usually I listen Death, Bathory, Azaghal, Sarcofago, Kreator, Windir, Behemoth etc but I'm fucking loving this synthwave shit!! I don't know how to say but much of these artists like Lazer Hawk, Mega Drive and Pertubator have an gritty and dark aura that atracts me.
'Twas once a dubstep fan once ( I fucking sounded like a skyrim npc) but then I found a game called hotline Miami the soundtrack was full of amazing synth artist and that's how I dropped skillex or how you spell it and others for magic sword perturbator magma lazerhawk GosT scattle carpenter brut el hurevo and others also since you're a metal head I highly suggest looking up synth metal you may find songs that might interest you
Completely in love with Lazerhawk's work - for me a genre definer. This album's just as good as all previous. Haven't stopped listening since I bought it the day it came out. I find this wholly spot on creativity for making music, that is way way beyond some simple 80's retro, completely inspiring: Lazerhawk - Skull and Shark
Another Cool NRW Music I bought on Google Play. I am very happy with LazerHawk music and all the New Retro Wave music is coming out. I recommend the public the music called "Electro Groove" by LazerHawk. Really amazing.
Lazerhawk needs to make more music (3 albums is not enough to feed my newly discovered synth habit). This album and Visitors are both freaking amazing!
How can it be possible I like EVERY SINGLE SONG of this album??? :-O Also it's the first time I listen tot his band, never heard of them before, but they surely kick arse :-D
For the longest time I only knew of music like this from old movies and videogames. I used to rewind movies (midnight express, blade runner ECT.) just to hear the spacey beats. Allot of my friends found it weird but now they love when I send them something from lazerhawk or lifelike. I would have to say "Hotline Miami" made me see the music as a genre that I could openly listen to and explore and since then I haven't stopped being amazed.
There's something about this album that every time I hear it just gets better and better. A true masterpiece. "These Streets" is just such an unbelievable piece of music. Try listening to it at .75 speed. It may not be for everyone, but it makes those guitar sounds just so eerie in a gorgeous way.
im not lying when i say this, i cried when i heard one of lazerhawk's songs being used in of space dandy's trailers. It was mind blowing that one of my favorite artist work was being used to promote such an amazing anime series.
All this merch, music, concept art, and trailer... yet no actual comic... what happend...!? YOU CAN'T JUST PRING A CONCEPT LIKE A SHARK MAN AND A SKELETON FIGHTING BIKERS/UNDEAD AND NOT EXPLAIN ANY STORY! HOW DID THIS TEAM COME TO BE?! HOW DID THEY GET LIKE THAT?! WHY ARE THEY FIGHTING?! someone at least give me the excuse as to why this never became a comic.
I feel like the answer is obvious. The skeleton began fighting the gang, because they kidnapped his little brother. To them he was to be a sacrifice, in order to regain their living bodies. Taking on a curse for the power to take over the city, they didn't realize it meant they could no longer enjoy the pleasures they'd once thrived on while living. No sex, no drugs, no taco bell... for them they'd do anything to change this. But when the leader and most powerful of the gang, found out it was his still living brother to be sacrificed, he turned on them and fought with all his might. But they were all undead and undying. So he was overpowered and locked away. Taking the brother of their former leader to sacrifice inside the ancient shark tank of destiny, they tossed him in screaming. But in that moment he realized his true power and path, becoming one with the sharks and obtaining all their knowledge, he burst free of his holding. Then running over his former captures to free his immured sibling. Smashing through the cage with his face, then giving the most epic highfive known throughout the galaxy, he unlocked his brothers hidden potential. Thus began the true story of Shark man and Skeleton.
"The Children of the Night"...what sweet music they make. The track was so good that I just had to quote Dracula (my apologies if it's already been done). The wailing and howls of the wolves was an especially eerie and beautiful touch. Also got me feeling the 'Vania vibes. Might have to bust out the trusty chain whip for this one next time.
YES, very cool album from Lazer Hawk! It is very interesting trend, that pure 100% HEAVY METAL musicians and producers are now-a-days activ with the real ELECTRONIC / SYNTH and even DANCE MUSIC! Nobody would believe it in 1988! Just listen for example to the german singer HARALD BOSH, his sound is even SYNTH POP / 80s / Dark Wave / Techno & Trance music made as well by HEAVY METAL musicians! I am amazed and speechless!
I love it I've been looking for music like this it's like walking to another dimension . .. badass . ..it's got balls like scarface . ...balls and my word.
