Funny, a few minutes before this was posted I was thinking when the next Miracle of Sound song would come out!
I really liked the song, the folk elements were awesome.
I'd love to hear more songs in this style.
Maybe you should start making folk metal. You're from Ireland, it's only appropriate!

Have to say Gav, you've really created something special here. I am so glad that of all the things you could make a song about this game, you made it about my favourite part: the relationship between Connor and Haytham. Not only that, but the song captured the feel of Connor's background perfectly, from the Indian chanting, the revolutionary war marching drums/ pipes, the British sailor feel with the rhythm and bagpipes, it all just melded together beautifully.
The reprisal of the Blood of the Creed section was great too, as it showed that, despite the conflict Connor feels earlier on in the song between his father's culture, his mother's culture, and the Revolutionary American Army, that his ultimate allegiances lie with the assassins, and that is what prevails at the end of the song.
Well done Gav, this was a hell of a great song.

I see what you did there at 2:19 :3
(that was also an awesome song)
Quite good; I've always felt that Gavin had trouble capturing the spirit of the Assassin Creed games, Shadows of The Moonlight was probably the one that felt most like it was part of the sound track, and in this(in that group of songs) is on the same level, if not better.
It was a bit strange how most of the video consisted of naval missions, but I guess that it was the most defining aspect of the game, nothing wrong with it, just a bit strange.

If only the game could have expressed these parts of its own story half as well as this song does...
I haven't played Ass Creed 3 because I became disillusioned by the franchise after Revelations... but hell if this beautiful song doesn't just make me want to play it! Fantastic as usual Gav, glad to see you're still on top form.
This one was already on Spotify like 3 weeks ago. Don't depend your $0.007 from me listening to it all in one place.
I really liked assassins creed 3 until it turned into "MERRICAH!!! **** YEAH!!!" the game
I'm sorry but i don't have allot of interest in a patriotic wank fest especially with all the rampant ahistoricism i.e. completely glossing over the atrocities the Native Americans suffered and how 25 % of the colonists were loyalists.
It may change later in the game but i just got sick of it.

I don't know why, but your Assassin's Creed songs never seem all that great to me. I should like them, since they mix different rhythms and elements, and that is something I enjoy in music. I also know it's not because I don't play the games, since you've done songs about other games I haven't played which I found amazing. Little Sister finally made me play Bioshock. Meh, it's a mystery. I see there are people who do enjoy them, so that's always good.
EDIT: Completely unrelated. I'm replaying Alice: Madness Returns in stereo 3d. It's awesome. I'd like to hear your take on weird,disturbing, but beautiful games like this one.

This song makes me so sad. I see the visuals and I hear the unique rhythm and I can't help but feel that this has to be an awesome game. Yet It is a complete piece of crap. I listen to your words about Connor's story and I can't help but to think it interesting and engaging, yet it was done so poorly that any level of engagement I had with the game vanished after the time you board the ship with Haytham (Which was the only part of the game I enjoyed). Great song, but it only makes it all the more painful that AC3 was such a chore to get through.
While I'm really torn about the game - it was, from a gameplay point of view, as much fun as any of them, but I didn't care for the setting or the protagonist at all - this is probably my favourite AssCreed song of them all. At least it's a tie between this and Shadows, with Shadows having an unfair advantage because it's about Ezio. As opposed to RatonhnhaBLEH:ton. Who, on the other hand, at least had a fun father.
Well, anyway. You continue to amaze, sir. I'll be over at bandcamp then, must have this.

Wow, this is some seriously impressive stuff. Loved the way you managed to seamlessly blend an almost sea shanty type feel to what I feel to be Native American folk, which is excellent. Very compelling. I feel like this might be the next "Breaking Down the Borders" for me, that I listen to twenty-six times over the next few days.
Phenomenal work as always, Gav!

How about a spoiler alert with that.Roelof Wesselius said:
Just kidding.
Seriously though, I only just started the game and I was hoping that at least some of it was going to be shining a light on the whole "slave owners who wanted to be free" hypocrisy and the genocide of the natives.

America: You give us a color, we'll wipe it out.
Opportunity missed I guess...I'll still finish it. Does it at least look like the sequel will be in the French Revolution?
And yes the song is very cool. Sounds like Irish music...hey, technically all of Miracle's songs ARE Irish music.
