Four minute instrumental song for a soundtrack.

I have written a song. I need the writing turned into a recording. The song is for a video that is a classic superhero fight, the climactic battle that builds to victory and simultaneous defeat.

Three main characters in the song have their own tune: Guitar riff in 5/4 time (Steg's Theme, the hero), a power chord progression (Nole's March, the villain), and a strong but beautiful chord progression optimal for a 12 string acoustic guitar (love interest, Ref' ... s Motif).

Feel of song: Blend of Tool's Sober and Seven Nation Army with interludes that are intense but less dark (Ref's Motif)
Structure: Like Axel F (yeah, Beverly Hills Cop)
Dynamics: Starts basic and builds. Simple chords/drums/bass to start then complexify the material. Then add keys and ambient.
Vocals: None
Instrumentation: drums, guitar, bass, then keys, maybe brass as the song builds (Holst Mars).

Note: I wrote this song on guitar, but I can't play it well enough to record it. (carpal tunnel injuries) I will provide a complete rough guitar recording (try not to laugh - it won't be good lol).

Music: I have main themes written in tablature and a cheat sheet for progressions

I listened to Axel F and Seven Nation Army to think how to structure a song to avoid too much repetition, and I think what I have will work with proper instrumentation. But I'm open to feedback.

The story can handle complexity. If you mess with the music and think, "Man, I could craft an amazing Bach metal fugue on bass here", let me know.
