The Starbreeze vault strikes again! This time, we're going all the way back to 2003 when we were crunching our way through the final six months of Knights of the Temple -- Infernal Crusade. A lot can be said about its development, tribulations and mad dash to the finish, but we'll save that for the biopic.

As was soon to be an established tradition, I took Gustaf's main theme and ran it through the ADHD blender and out came this monstrosity. All the orchestral parts are Gustaf's brilliant work. 

With the original project long gone, this is a complete remake. Orchestral bits are all from the in-game soundtrack, drums and synthy bits are all new, but the real star of the show is the industrial grade guitars supplied by The Esteemed Mop. Do crank the volume as loud as your local city council has deemed legal.

Original Title: (My First Bish' [BishBattle - "Future Tone Dubstep"] (7 19 23)

Each participant was given a few sounds from a sample pack and 2 hours to complete a 45 second track.

I wound up extending it and including it on my STORAGE SPACE 'B-SIDES' EP.

Future Tone

I've been teaching myself how to play guitar and bass for a good long while now, and the songs I practice, I learn by ear. Still having a lot of trouble with consistency, timing and accuracy on the frets, but it's going a lot better than before. It's a slow process, but it's satisfying and fun.

The mixing is another story, so just ignore that for now lmfao

I've been working on this record for the better part of 3+ years. Much of the over-all concept was born out of a response to things related to the COVID-19 pandemic, either with themes of 'Escapism' and 'Isolation' (and the comfort that can come with it at times), or wanting to mentally remove myself to a safe space away from reality, as well as binge-watching trash TV with my partner, like 'Love Island', which definitely inspired the album cover and some of the track titles (such as 'Villa Dreamin'). Aesthetically there's also some loose nods to the liminal spaces present in "Hyperbolic Time Chamber" vibes from 'DBZ', the digital world as depicted in the 'Digimon' movie from the 90's, and my love for Pokemon (with 'Rare Candy'). I hope you enjoy this journey from start to finish!
