This style of music that I create, is heavily influenced by the retro-'90s feel of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I am very much trying to recapture the spirit and tone of the original SOTN soundtrack with these types of compositions. Thank you for listening.

More mid-to-late-'90s Castlevania vibe. SOTN soundtrack that might have been. Bonus Tracks perhaps?

Inspiration: More Symphony of the Night prog. rock stuff here. This one came out huge. Lots of fun, unexpected moments here—funk/rock breakdown, heavy gothic Castlevania vibes and a catchy, jamming main leitmotif.

I wanted to write something that could fit into an action/chase sequence with Dek in Predator Badlands—something epic, thematic, and high energy. Thanks for listening.

I always loved soundtrack albums that incorporated dialogue or samples from their respective movies. It felt like you were listening to the movie with your eyes closed, and seeing it in your mind. Stuff like Flash Gordon or Mortal Kombat (1995) that used those types of moments to create energy and hype you up.

That's what I was going for here.

Here lies the tale of the cursed Pirate crew, who sought to go "Beyond the Reef"; a pirates term for transcending the pains of this world, and wandering in paradise for all time. Rum ensues.

LYRICS:

(CREW SINGING)
Sharpen the sword
Fill the hold
Bury the loot
Join the fold
Adventure
Danger

Walk the plank
Empty the rum
Sound the beat of the pirate drum
Hold fast
Forever

Beyond the Reef
Beyond the Reef
Beyond the Reef we go!

We shall not stop
We shall hold fast
Until the end we row! 

The time has come
The powders lit
We brace for cannons flame

Until the last
We shall hold fast
In Davy Jones’s name!

Over the side
Fellow men!
Here is where we shall start again
The Island of Fortune

Beyond the Reef
It's here at last
Our fortunes here
Shall everlast-

We pass into legend!
To legend!

(Cinematics)

"Dead men tell no tales..."

"What lies Beyond the Reef ye ask?
Are ye hardy enough to fine out? Says I
When the sky burns red, and the powder runs dry-
Hold fast to ye course, and the spoils be yours, matey..."

"The lights gone Captain, where are we?"

"Somewhere dark and terrible...keep your wits..."

***

"The end of the world approaches men!
Do ye have the courage?
Hold to that flame inside
It makes ye strong!
For what lies on the Otherside?"

"By the seven seas!
We've done it men...
Beyond the Reef we are
A pirate's paradise indeed..."

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Beyond the Reef!
Beyond the Reef we go!
Beyond the Reef!
They will never know...

Beyond the Reef!
Beyond the Reef we fly!
Beneath the Cursed Sky!"

"It's beautiful...it's Beyond the Reef, indeed men
'Tis a pirate's paradise...aye
Aye Matey, pass the rum..."
