Hello LMW, 
I've been searching for a lost song from 2008 since I first heard it as a kid. Originally named "Overprime.mp2" in a Crysis Wars map on Crymod by user ---___db___---, it vanished when Crymod shut down in 2014.
The real name might be "Spur 3" by "Unbekannter Interpret." But I don't know. it's a rock song with electric guitar riffs, possibly made by a garage band because it doesn't show up when I try to look for it with song searching apps. I even went as far as uploading it onto Youtube, risking a copyright strike in the event that they can content ID it - and still nothing.
I have attached the original "Overprime.mp2" sample if anyone recognizes it, or can pull more metadata from it somehow.
(Files zipped to preserve data so it doesn't get wiped, archive split into 2 to adhere to the 3MB attachment size limit)

Additional details about this lost song:
- Filename: Overprime.mp2- Track Name: Spur 3 (translates to "Track 3" in German)
- Length: 4:54
- Artist: Unknown ("Unbekannter Interpret" in German metadata)
- Genre: Rock
- Tempo: Mid-tempo, hard rock
- Vocals: Male
- Lyrics (that I can decipher): "live and learn" "I won't break away this time" and "I won't scream, I won't fight, I won't search cause I can't find"
- Year: 2008 or earlier
Background Information:
- The song was discovered in a Crysis Wars map called "Yome," created in 2008 by the modder "---___db___---" from the now-defunct Crymod site.
- The map featured an internet cafe floating on a rocky island in space. I was able to find an archived copy of the song through CryServ.de - A community dedicated to preserving old Crysis content
- "---___db___---" the map creator disappeared around 2014, coinciding with the removal of the downloads section of Crymod, following Crymod vanishing entirely in 2014. I was able to find his moddb account, however it's been inactive since 2014. His name is listed as well as an email; I don't know if that's relevant and I don't want to get in trouble for doxxing public info.
- The map is currently archived and linked by the CryServ.de Crysis Wars modding community on Discord.
- Contributors to the map, "CryBusters" and "FantasyHaze," also seem to have disappeared without a trace.
