This track was inspired by producer group GOON-TEX's work on LUCKI's album "Flawless Like Me" in 2022.
This track was made on December 19th, 2022, and took about an hour and a half to make. However, I wasn't happy with the mixing and mastering, which is why this track didn't drop sooner.
Up until August 2024, I spent a total of 18 hours and 45 minutes testing new mixing and mastering techniques, trying to get this track to sound how I want. The final version of this beat was finished on August 24th, 2024.
If I didn't love this track so much, I wouldn't have spent so long trying to "fix" it, and it probably wouldn't have seen a release.

A simple minimalistic horror theme -- similar to early John Carpenter soundtrack themes.

This instrumental piece was submitted as an entry to UJAM's "Usynth STRANGER Synthwave Contest" announced in October 2025.  It consists of just four virtual instrument tracks (utilizing one instance of UJAM "USynth Stranger" and one instance of "UJAM Finisher Retro" on each) and two audio sound FX tracks (utilizing one instance of Finisher Retro on each).

ToneDeF is a software engineer by profession, part-time composer by inclination. He is influenced musically by what he listens to, which consists of hard rock, hair metal, synth-pop, progressive rock/metal, new age electronic, techno/trance, and classics from the Romantic and Baroque periods. It is not unusual to hear tiny shades of commercially successful works within his own humble little ones -- he considers it an homage to the truly talented.

One of ToneDeF's guilty pleasures is recreating the music of classic computer/video games utilizing modern synthesized and sampled sounds. His first submission to SoundCloud was a re-imagining of the main theme music from the classic LucasArts game, "Ballblazer".

Although he has chosen "ToneDeF" as his handle, rest assured that he is not actually "tone deaf".

Who exactly are "The ElectroMetal Minstrels"? They are the virtual musicians "performing" the virtual instruments on each track sequenced by ToneDeF.
