War of the Monochrome is a song i made for Check X Mate, an upcoming chess puzzle game with visual novel elements by Sliced Kiwi Studios!
The beta will be released this month!

About the song:
I was asked to make a memorable battle theme for the chess puzzle sections of the game, so i wanted to do my best to make the song feel like it could fit a wide variety of situations and game difficulties, gradually building up from a relatively more bombastic intro to more melodical sections, but with plenty of intermissions inbetween, in my opinion, this would fit the more difficult chezz puzzles in the gameplay because you'd be listening to the song for longer if you are struggling
I went for some progressive time signature choices, and also went with some more key changes than usual because i felt like it could help with giving the song more of an unique identity
In terms of inspirations, i would say that Rei Kondoh's works were in my head a lot when i was in the planning phases of this song

Please note that this song is composed by me and belongs to Sliced Kiwi Studios, you are not allowed to use it in other places without the permission of Sliced Kiwi Studios

Ah, the final 'level' of ECO: Season 1. Only a few minor things left to do before the album is ready to go. This song is actually a remix of https://soundcloud.com/leila-wilson-woofle/ruse_full and https://soundcloud.com/leila-wilson-woofle/scarlet-snow-coagulation ! Here, just north of Ruse, the characters split up, and ascend Mt. Rukruos, where the Dascillian military has dug in. Spoiler: Everything blows up.  ~ "Plan F," said the colonel, "kill f***ing everything."
