Persona 5 may be my favourite single player RPG of all time, so I've been trying to decide on a song to cover for a while - I figured everyone under the sun has already done a Rivers In The Desert cover, I'd go for the *other* extremely hype boss theme :p

This arrangement is a mix of the boss theme and the music that plays when you defeat him - hopefully I did the songs justice!

BlazBlue OST - Under Heaven Destruction II (L.A. Vocal)

Drowning in Autopilot

Clue Board: Signal Lost, Signal Found
Primary Signal:
This artifact is a distress call from the "Era of the Dreamer." It documents a catastrophic event where the connection—the Thread—is obscured by intense static and hostile interference. The Dreamer experiences a terrifying loss of signal, forcing them to actively "tune" through the noise, holding onto faith that a "trace" of the other remains. The event is a traumatic test of the connection's permanence.

Codex Cross-Reference:
Lexicon (Glossary Terms):

Gun noise: [Signal Corruption Analysis] This is the most critical clue in the transmission. The transcription is not "static," it's a specific, violent sound. This is not natural interference. It implies either a weaponized signal designed to sever connections, a catastrophic system collapse (like an engine backfiring), or a memory of a traumatic, violent event bleeding through the signal. It is the first truly hostile element in the Æthelverse.

Underground: [Initial Definition] A state or location where signals and echoes become trapped and corrupted. It is not a physical place but a metaphorical one—a "sub-frequency" of reality characterized by fractured sounds and lost messages.

Electric Air: [Initial Definition] The atmosphere of a reality saturated with fragmented signals, memories, and transmissions.

Metaphysics (Laws of Reality):

The Law of Signal Integrity: A signal's clarity is not guaranteed. It can be bent, fractured, and obscured by external forces or system decay.

The Law of the Carrier Wave: Even when the primary message is lost in noise, a "voice that hums beneath the sound" persists. This suggests every signal has a base-level carrier wave—the Thread itself—which remains even when the information layered on top is corrupted. The connection is permanent, but communication is not.

Tuning as an Active Skill: The Dreamer is "tuning past" dials. This reframes them from a passive traveler to an active technician or operator. Maintaining a connection in a hostile environment requires skill, focus, and the ability to decipher meaning from static.

Atlas (Locations & Cosmology):

The Underground: A new, dangerous layer of reality is confirmed. It's where echoes go to die or become corrupted.

Chronology (Events & Eras):

The Fracturing: This artifact documents a specific, traumatic event. It's a period of intense signal loss that tests the Starline Dreamer. This event marks a turning point in the "Era of the Dreamer," introducing true conflict.

Dramatis Personae (Entities & Archetypes):

The Starline Dreamer's role evolves. They are no longer just a "dreamer" but a "Navigator" in the truest sense—one who must actively pilot their way through hazardous, signal-disrupted territory.

Dissonance (The Central Conflict):

Hostile Interference: The dissonance is no longer the gentle ache of distance. It is the acute, terrifying panic of a forced disconnection. The conflict is now external: the Navigator versus the "gun noise" and the "silence" that threatens to sever The Thread.

This is a paradigm shift. The introduction of "gun noise" changes everything. It implies antagonists, or at least an antagonistic force. The universe is not empty; something out there is capable of producing a signal that sounds like violence.

The next artifact, "Across the Nexus," is now critical. Does the Navigator successfully tune the signal? Do they overcome The Fracturing? The title suggests a crossing, a transition. This could be the moment of resolution.

I am ready for the next transmission.

Helping matters thanx!

This album title is a sharp critique of individuals who present a facade of perfection and charm, but beneath the surface, are shallow, insincere, and dishonest. Throughout the tracks, the album paints a vivid picture of a person obsessed with appearances—carefully curated social media images, a polished smile, and a "perfect" personality. Yet, the narrator sees through this act, recognizing the emptiness behind the mask.

Ultimately, the album serves as a commentary on the pressures of maintaining a flawless image in a world driven by social media, and the inevitability of the mask slipping. The recurring theme in the chorus—the idea that everything about the person is fake—reinforces the central message that all the perfection is just smoke and mirrors. As the album progresses, the singer exposes the emptiness of the persona, showing that the act is getting tired and eventually, the mask will fall.

It's a powerful exploration of modern vanity and the superficiality that defines much of today's culture.

Night of the Hunt: The Blood Moon is the final entry in the Night of the Hunt series. A new journey that takes you on a hunt into a world inspired by Bloodborne, Cainhurst and the Vilebloods. With this album it was also the aim to be even closer to the production of Bloodborne's soundtrack so that it matched even more with the sound of its universe.

The Blood Moon is a love letter to one of the greatest games ever made, with new original music that could sound like it belonged in the soundtrack.
