This was a masterpiece of visualising dude :) I swear you just have been getting better and better. Must have taken ages to do this one though! As a motion graphics designer I know how frustrating and long it can take ;w;
Got the information for the visuals and everything about a week ago but only got started about four days ago. Was quite the trip though since I have a lot on my plate so every piece of extra spare time I had this week went into this so far. Would have changed a ton and made it even better if I had more time but for what it's worth it turned out quite good I think!
I tend and prefer to work with programs other than After Effects on larger scale projects. Applications such as Blender, Cinema4D and Nuke get the job done but After Effects is still my go to when it comes to quick last second work like this! Also, send me a link to that Osu beatmap. I want to pass it ;)
Holy crud, you're on Monstercat? I've been listening to Monstercat for ages now, and you're one of my favourite off label producers. This is a dream come true!
This came out so well! Congratulations to you for finally making it into Monstercat; I'm glad you're getting the success you have always deserved :D The visuals on this are stunning as well; I wish the Monstercat video itself would've included them. The amazing artwork and visual effects are only appropriate for an equally spellbinding song. Great work to the both of you! Also, as a side note, I find it oddly adorable that Ephixa's rifle is as big as he is. :p
Perfect mix between both your styles! lol, that penguin and you xD *"Just chilling in space with my friend penguin, Ephixia"* While an entire planet is getting fought by a spaceship xD
I have no words... this is one of the few songs whose visuals tell a story too, using the music as companion. You're huge, bossfight and ephixa :D P.D.: Your first step at Monstercat is epic, welcome :D
"Bossfight and Ephixa are chilling around while shit goes down. Bossfight continues drinking his milkshake. The end." Yes. These are official design notes I made. You got it spot on!
Congratulations on getting into Monstercat dude! Since ''Elevatia'' I was waiting for the moment you sign on a label but duuuuude, on my favourite label really? I'm more than happy right now =) Btw I'm going for that million views on Monstercat you know
*intense fighting and cool stuff happening in space* is how you describe a typical day of a space penguin with an AK47 and a guy wearing a mask that looks like a gecko
Bossfight literally used to be a small chiptune artist on newgrounds, now he's collaborating with the likes of Ephixa. It feels good to know someone before they became popular.
Huh... Well I guess other people like it, so it's not a problem, but I'm surprised you'd make this the one to go to Monstercat with. I found most of it good of course, but after the Heks EP and Sonder, to me it seems meh by your standards. Like, again if it was anyone else I'd be impressed, but for me you set yourself a very high standard with those. Maybe it's just my taste, but to me this seems shockingly generic dubstep for you, which after your more recent music was the last thing I was expecting. It just feels like your style is gone in this one, and I really liked your experimental and unique style. When I hear Sonder or the Delete remix or anything from the Heks EP, I can tell it's your music. Here, if I didn't know I would not have guessed this was you... The only part I really liked that seemed your style was the bridge after the first drop. The rest of it was "good" but not interesting or new or exciting to me. Maybe that's just 'cause it's a collab, maybe it's just I don't like Ephixa's style, but I can't ignore it. I really don't want this to seem too critical, because this is still high quality, which shows you haven't lost any skill or anything. You are still amazing, but to me, this sounds like it isn't showing your creativity. It's kind of hard to describe all of what's wrong, but I think one of the factors is the lack of detail. The Heks EP and Sonder were especially good at this, there were lots of small parts that came together to form a very immersive atmosphere, which made the music all the more enjoyable. Here it seems to me like the sounds just don't have the nuances some of your other pieces do, it's all very plain to me. Just Synth, random vocal sounds, bass, drums, there. None of the sound effects or extra details some of your other pieces have, besides the little laser sounds, but those aren't atmospheric like the other ones, they're very basic in comparison. I feel like it doesn't cover as many genres as usual too, going back to Mescalink as an example: first 8 bars combines dubstep with classical horror-style Harpsichord, then into soft piano chords, into EDM- style big saw chords into a dubstep/drumstep drop, but with unique and innovative sounds that I can only guess were done with Unison Phase Retriggering, into a future bass bridge; There is so much variety, and I think that's what makes it (drawn with Sonder) my favourite out of all your music. This one just feels: EDM beginning, generic Dusbtep drop, more unique bridge, but then into another generic dubstep drop. I'm sorry if it comes across that I hate this song, because I don't. I'm making a lot of complaints but this why it's so hard to describe what's "wrong" with this song, its mistakes (or at least, what I view as a mistake) at very small and very subtle, but there are a lot of them; and that's what ruins this one for me. Good enough to give a listen, but personally I don't see myself coming back to this one.
Really liked this reply, it's what I'm thinking too. Heks EP was straight fire as well as Sonder, the Delete remix, and Elevatia. I feel like Monstercat has something to do with this and because of the fact that they're a very popular label - right up there with Armada, Owlsa, Ultra, etc. Because of this, I think that artists are less inclined to do "experimental" and odd styles that people really like. This song is great and I really like it, but it's nothing special. Knock 'Em was super weird and I've only listened to it like 4 times but I still at least remember it. It had a vibrant and in-your-face theme that made it memorable. Once again, this is far from bad, and it's actually pretty good as far as first appearances on Monstercat go since most are unimpressive. I did hear a lot of Bossfight in here though and I think it went together fine with Ephixa's style. If Bossfight does plan on doing more Monstercat stuff in the future, then I hope he lets more of his unique style shine through because Monstercat has been in a bit of a dull spot after the Rocket League phase died out. The style is just so different I think it would inspire other creators to experiment a little more 😛
Juhani Urtti Well, I'm 15, so I don't have a job to take me away from my precious internet (although I do have mocks >=(); and I make music too, and I feel like there's a lack of good critique of music on the internet, so I felt I'd be the guy to try and give it... I'm starting to think I'm more known for my reviews than my music... I probably am...
Xperiority _ Well he inspired me, I mean I was already making music and knew I wanted to be unique, but I started really getting into Bossfiht towards the end of a patch where I considered quiting. That was the end of that patch because of the ideas Bossfight's songs filled my head with. I ended up making stuff that starts out like another version of a Bossfiht song, but then I just let whatever happens in terms of creativity happen, giving it its own identity. One of my best pieces, "Totems" was originally like a rip off of the music on the Heks EP, but then started really becoming its own thing
I like how u came up with a space battle and blackhole in space... Matches the song perfectly. ill listen this every time im doing art or playing a game... Thanks for makeing this awsome song ;) i really enjoy it
Long time Bossfight fan here. Gotta say I really miss the old days, Caps on Hats off days. Never knew why you switched to this new worse style, it makes me sad.
Papa Johns Official I understand. Yeah people change... I like all the bossfight music but this is not the same for everyone. But in any case you can't say it's like made in five minute, still a great work.
Papa Johns Official On top of people changing, those bitbop days were when Bossfight was a band. The band broke up. Bossfight is just one man now and has been for awhile. But you're entitled to your own opinion.

Best Electro track of the year for me! Was a pleasure working on this banger with you as always!
You too were fantastic as always too and I can't agree more with what what you said! Keep it up Catlinman and Bossfight!
I 💖 it!

Catlinman definitely the best music bossfight ever made!!!
The song is amazing but can we not take a moment and admire the fucking amazing visualizer that goes with it
Hehe thanks. Had a lot of fun on this one. I think you can tell! :)
Etzer
Ikr, visuals are the best
Amazing ikr!

Etzer YES. GD PLAYERS ARE INTO IT.
Those visuals made the song even better 😍
The Last drop was just PERFECT

Hiiiiiiii SirHadoken
Just amazing!
I found you SirHadoken
Fancy seeing you here, SirHadoken
*Oh my god, the song and the background are amazing! You really put effort into this. Congratulations on MonsterCat

Its perfect until you realize the people next to them get fuckin snapped out of existence

DJ Radiocutter ephixia?
yeah, the penguin :3
Not to mention a freaking black hole...

I thought it was Ephixia at first too, then I realized it was Ephixa.
That penguin:
What the hell are french fries?
Oh yeah,penguin who hasn't heard of french fries is Ephixa
Bossfight : it’s somethin you eat kid
Me: He Can’t Be Called A Kid Because He Has An AK-47
I have no words... this is one of the few songs whose visuals tell a story too, using the music as companion. You're huge, bossfight and ephixa :D
P.D.: Your first step at Monstercat is epic, welcome :D
it's a coincidence that this was released on the day the 8th Star Wars movie started screenings in most countries.
SylphyNetworks
Lmao
or is it...?
Congratz on getting onto monstercat boi!
Also Track of the year for me.
who ever made that visualiser plz teach me ur skills
Hotshot raptor Catlinman made them 😍
shes a god
Just press a lot of buttons. At some point you'll end up with something like this. Pretty good.
*Entire universe is destroyed*
*Don't give a single shit, continue to eat fries and drinking milkshake*
"Bossfight and Ephixa are chilling around while shit goes down. Bossfight continues drinking his milkshake. The end."
Yes. These are official design notes I made. You got it spot on!
Please let this be on Newgrounds 😍
Marwec107 sadly i think it won't due to monstercat licensing
ItsViee that’s breaking my heart
ItsViee thats sad oh man
Are you kidding me? I put so much effort into a layout with this song... ;-;
lol marc ofc it wouldnt be, I dont think his future songs will be there either
1:25 (epic space battle in the background)
Bossfight: Yeah this happens. Hey Ephixa will you finish your fries?
NercurE lol
2 amazing artists+amazing song+amazing visuals=freaking ear and eyegasm
This and "Nock Em" are two of my favourite tracks for 2017.
Also, congrats on making it on Monstercat, Bossfight!
This brings me back nostalgia. But after 6 years it still bangs hard
Same
Congratulations on getting into Monstercat dude! Since ''Elevatia'' I was waiting for the moment you sign on a label but duuuuude, on my favourite label really? I'm more than happy right now =)
Btw I'm going for that million views on Monstercat you know
Erm4ck what does btw mean?
by the way
Gianni Busciglio oh thanks
Ephixa: Future House + Bossfight: Electro & Bass House = TOTAL PERFECTION!!!!!!
I'm a simple man. I see new Bossfight upload, I click.
*intense fighting and cool stuff happening in space* is how you describe a typical day of a space penguin with an AK47 and a guy wearing a mask that looks like a gecko
Amazing my mans! Glad your dreams are coming true!
Bossfight literally used to be a small chiptune artist on newgrounds, now he's collaborating with the likes of Ephixa. It feels good to know someone before they became popular.
Монолит XD
Very cool collaboration, Bossfight)
Кто интересно делал этот арт, и о чем он думал когда выставлял туда монолит?
Who's vibing to this music 2022? I am for sure! This is so epic and the visuals make it even more awesome!
listening to bossfight since 4 years now he got me into edm and i know his songs more than 4 years because of gd love his music
This is amazing! Congratulations on the well deserved monstercat release!
haoN Hey Noah!
Allolla
Bossfight is one of the best examples of quality over quantity on TH-cam
No wait, best examples of quality over quantity on the entire internet
Holy shit, this-t-this isn't legit, way too good, the art is amazing and the music itself *orgasm*
This is awesome, you and Ephixa worked perfectly together to give us the banger we all needed!
Fucking lit
Ok, this is actually good music, it was totally worth the four months wait to hear this
Welcome to the monstercat family
Very much quality good visuals. Conglats on monstercat.
Bossfight I am so happy for you making it onto monstercat
Congratulations on monster cat! Listening to you for about a year? Yes, year.
Funny how ironic the title is. It means "to become less intense, violent or severe" lol
Hands down, my favourite bossfight song and art.
So amazing!! 😍
And the background is lit! i really like how it changes as the music goes! Great work both of you. much love ❤❤❤
Amazing visualizer, Amazing Song
This is such a good song. The visualizer is BEAST. Dude, glad you're getting the recognition you deserve
It's been like...four years, five years? Not sure. Still listening, still loving.

Holy shit, that moment when the video Bossfight uploaded was better than Monstercat's official one.
The drop is on point as always!!!

Last song of this year¿?
Yes xD xD
God damn. Perhaps the best i've listened in months.
Long time Bossfight fan here. Gotta say I really miss the old days, Caps on Hats off days. Never knew why you switched to this new worse style, it makes me sad.
Papa Johns Official People change, there’s nothing you can do about it

I understand. Yeah people change... I like all the bossfight music but this is not the same for everyone.
But in any case you can't say it's like made in five minute, still a great work.

I have mixed feelings about that. me feel sorry for his band though
Papa Johns Official are you stupid this is so much better plus he has a song that has been putted in subzero
Prestige Clips is the 🐐🐐🐐
oh my god dude congrats
ive been listening to your music for years now and im happy
LET'S GO. Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!
This is the best goddamn visualizer I have ever seen!
Whoever created this piece of art... Should get a medal.
Thanks for the kind words man! Really appreciate it! :)
I cant stop myself dancing good job both of you
I have been a fan sense Milky Way. I stayed up so late waiting for this!!!!!!
This is so fresh, awesome visuals aswell! Amazing work as usual!
Edit: 2:42 is quite a nice touch
Honestly, this ain't really my favourite sort of song, but the art in the background was amazing stuff, I'd watch it again just for that.
I like how Ephixa and Bossfight don’t even care what’s happening in the background
