Music for our film opening

A website called Incompetech has thousands of royalty free songs that could be used for our film openings. As we need a royalty free song and this website has so many it is most likely one of these songs will be used for our opening.

After looking at the royalty website Incompetech it quickly came apparent that this site has great range of music but not for our chosen genre. Luckily for us we know several bands who will create music for our film. As long as they get mentioned in the credits they agreed to create a song for our film, as it will not just benefit our film but their publicity.

One band we took interest in and whom took interest in us was 'EPIVERSE'. The three member band (with many other guests) makes comical videos about their band practices called 'Random Jams'. However, they don't create their own songs but instead re-create already existing ones such as 'Starwars' with a rocky feel. The fact we need a royalty free song ruled these guys out.

The band set the task of creating our rocky cool song is called 'Forgetten the Fallen'. I won’t embed one of their videos as their songs are heavy metal and will serve no purpose to our film. Their talent however will. We have asked them to try a new genre of music and for one song alone, they abandoned their heavy metal and try to create a light rocky comical tune. They have great respect locally and have gigs with up to 600 people.
