UNDERSWAP RETALIATION 003 - TURNING POINT (Papyrus Megalovania Replacement)

Hey everyone.

It's been a while, hasn't it? Remember when I said you shouldn't expect more Undertale content from me? Well, you may color yourself surprised. Don't expect more again, this is one thing that I decided to do half jokingly until I put my hands to work.

FLP, MP3 file and Google Doc with the criticism of the original track that I decided to leave out of the description:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nlk6USq8KX6wYjSB7VZd_gl5Q_ER6XBa?usp=sharing

Original track:
https://soundcloud.com/dr-samuel-hayden/misfortune

For some context, before I "left" the community, since around 2019 or 2020, I've been deeply enamored with Periphery. It has gotten to the point that I can probably tell you the name of any Periphery song you play in front of me without hints, and if I can't, I can assure you it is from the Icarus Lives EP (which I should actually more attentively listen to). Periphery V was the first album I was hyped up to listen to in my entire life, and when it dropped I listened to it so much that I got bored of it for a while.

Imagine my surprise when I found a Megalovania project based on the newest album of my all-time favorite band.

The first song I found from https://soundcloud.com/dr-samuel-hayden's project was the Misfortune cover. Initially I found it interesting, but the more I listened to it, the more it's flaws started to ooze out, as if it was overflowing with a sticky and slimy substance.

Reading the comments of that track, I found others agreed, however, were not healthy in how they expressed their dissatisfaction with it. I then decided to make this song as to show how I would do it instead, somewhat "fixing" the issues with the original song.

Something important too, is to point out the issues with the original, in a constructive way, as to help each other grow, and this is what I mainly am caring so much about this description for, making it look presentable and readable. I may no longer be around, but that does not mean I want others to fail. In the end, what unites us all is our passion for music, and it is far more healthy to continue to build each other up than to tear one another down.

I wrote it all here in the description of this track only to find out SoundCloud has a 4000 character limit, so i put my ramblings into a google doc besides the FLP and the MP3 file.

Thank you for listening, and for reading through this. This song is the culmination of a long time of my own betterment, trying to achieve new heights, not being limited to a song from a game nearing its 9th birthday in a couple of months. I owe to this community and to my friends the quality and improvement I see in my own projects, and without this silly little song from a 2015 game,  I do believe i would not have reached these heights. Thank you to everyone involved in my growth. As a person. As a musician. But most importantly, as an artist.

Until the next time I am active in this account - this is a goodbye. Thanks.

YEAH BABY MOLLUSCOPHOBIA AIN'T GOT NOTHIN ON ME

So as some of you may know, about 3 years ago Ssgt. Frost started but never finished a track for Fellswap Emerald inspired by Hypermaniac. Finishing it has been on my bucket list for a while, but at some point I just decided to bite the bullet and do it. The MIDI for the original has been gone for some time now, so I had to recreate the lead that Frost created from scratch, and I think I did pretty well. From there, the goal was to evoke Hypermaniac, but also make it both a bit unique and sufficiently Fellswap Emerald-y. I didn't quote Hypermaniac directly at any point but I did borrow heavily from its structure. I also threw in the occasional leitmotif from other Fellswap Emerald tracks (mostly Papyrus tracks but I did kinda use one Sans track) and kept up the existing instrumentation from the original lead. I also wanted to give it a "phase 2" feel because a) while Hypermaniac wasn't made to be a phase 2 theme that's the general view of it atp and b) this works better than Molluscophobia cus shit wasn't even made for Fellswap Emerald LMAOOOO-

Anyway I think that's all I really have to say on this. As I said, credits to Ssgt. Frost for creating the original lead, and yeah, ebhoy.

A Slaughter That Needs to End

Break up v4

Concept
The Quiet Hunger is the moment the Abyss stops observing… and starts awakening.
After confronting the emotional weight of Ghosts of My Stolen Dreams, the protagonist wanders into a realm where the silence is no longer empty. The air feels alive. The walls breathe. The shadows tremble in anticipation. Something ancient and unseen has begun to stir beneath the surface of the dream-world.
Not attacking.
Not speaking.
Just waiting.
Watching.
Hungering.
This instrumental captures the cold realization that he is no longer alone.
Visual Concept
The artwork depicts a lone figure standing beneath a narrow column of blue light, surrounded by twisting, shadowy tendrils emerging from the darkness.
They do not strike.
They simply reach…
as if tasting the air around him.
This is the Abyss revealing its appetite.
Place in the Album Narrative
The Quiet Hunger serves as the turning point between introspection and terror.
Up to this moment, the protagonist has encountered echoes and ghosts—remnants of himself.
But now, he enters the domain of the Abyss itself, where entities are not memories…
but predators.
It leads directly into the next track: Teeth in the Dark — where the hunger becomes a hunt.
For the Listener
Listen closely to the space between the sounds.
That is where the Abyss breathes.
That is where the hunger waits.
That is where the journey deepens.
Welcome deeper.
