Here Come The Minutemen (Theme Song)

Here Come The Minutemen, sometimes abbreviated to HCTM, is the third iteration and current theme song of the Minutemen animated series, and the IP at large. It returns to a heavy electronic style, similar to the original Minutemen theme, and reflective of Nick's implementation of "confident design" into Minutemen going forward, meticulously refining the works to his own demands, ensuring a final product that reflects as much of his original vision as possible with the tools available to him.

As with all other media, the original files to HCTM have been lost. Nick intends to continue using this theme, but will have to re-make it from the ground up. Fortunately, as a last minute decisions, the original tracks have been uploaded here for your enjoyment. Future revisions of the theme will also follow this approach.

HCTM is the most radical shift in Minutemen music in the IP's history, running at a faster pace than Crisis Rising, which preceded it, but also drawing elements and inspiration from:


 * The original theme song, which is reused in HCTM.
 * Crisis Rising's opening structure, now faster, and at a different pitch.
 * SEGA Genesis compositions by both Jesper Kyd (notably 1993's Sub-Terrania), and Zsolt Dvornik (notably 1995's Exo-Squad).

HCTM is also notable for being slightly off-key, playing above 4 semitones by .6, making reproduction or remixing of the song somewhat difficult.

All available versions can be enjoyed below.

Initial Mix
The Initial Mix was publicly released on May 26th, 2021, and is the longest, loudest, and most complex track in Minutemen history, at a whopping three minutes in length, and reusing elements from all other Minutemen themes. It is quite loud, so listeners with headphones are advised to lower their volume, just to be safe.



Other versions are planned, and will be streamable here in time.
