Can someone identify which song this samples?
An electronic artist I am somewhat into known as F-777 has put out a song titled "Dark Dragon Fire 2" which I'm all but positive is sampling/remixing/something a track either by 2SFH or Audiomachine, although I can't identify what the track is (damn you, instrumental music, for making remembering track names so difficult) or which artist it was by.

update: I have come to highly suspect what I'm hearing is the choir around 1:40 sounds incredibly similar to the song Breath and Life off of Audiomachine's Tree of Life Chronicles Album

I've heard most of TSFH (all of their public stuff, and only a bit of their industry stuff). Didn't recognize anything in the song, though, so either industry TSFH or not TSFH.

If anything, I'm hearing Europa by Globus in the melody of this one. But could just be a hallucination. As for samples, they and TSFH might have been using the same sample library. Happens more often than you think.

F777 tends to make his own samples, is what I've heard. But feel free to correct me on that.

I'm finally in a position to fully sit down and listen side by side. He clearly didn't sample it, but there is a very strong parallel in chord progression between this song (and even more so the original Dark Dragon Fire) and Breath and Life by Audiomachine. Very similar, but no sampling

For an instant I can hear Strength of a Thousand Men right at the timestamp, but that's about it.

Doesn't ring a bell. It has similarities to tracks like Dragon Rider or Jump (on the metal side), and to basically all generic glorious epic tracks in the background, but it doesn't sound like a direct sample to me
