Revelation

I am the alpha and the omega
Who is who was and who is to come
The almighty
Do not be afraid
Amen

Revelation

After hearing about the release of Descent 3's source code -- and the fact that was nearly 25 years in the making -- I wanted to go back to some of my oldest riffs and reinterpret them into new songs more deserving of the name.

So... here's one of those new songs.  Sorry I haven't got anything more interesting to say :)

Fainter Soma in an Arena Of Mist

Avenging Entropy

One of my first-ever big music projects was to score a large mod for Descent 3, which only ever got partially released.  After hearing about the release of that game's source code a few weeks ago I wanted to go back to a few of the riffs and sorta rudimentary atmospheres I created back then and reinterpret them into new songs that would be... well, more deserving of being called "songs" :)  Like feeding on myself for inspiration, ouroboros style :D

This is one such new song.  Most of the bits and pieces I used as jumping-off points come from tracks that would have played in the final level of the mod if it had been finished, but, let's face it, a lot of the stuff I wrote back then ended up sounding the same anyway.  So, any folks who actually remember what was released of Army of Haloon will probably recognize at least some of these ideas :)

Crazy Ocelot Foxie's Awesome Album that isn't real :(

Razor Passage

For a long time I've wanted to write song set at sea.  Finally got to do it, it's a fun one, and I've been waiting for an excuse to put it out -- and would ya look at that it's World Otter Day!
Sounds like an excuse to me!

This song's got a completely different structure from anything I'd normally use, because, well... 
The Captain is Dead
And reality's gone strange
When you start seeing odd-er creatures
Ask if they were once your shipmates

Sea Unseen (The Captain is Dead)

So I saw the new trailer for Doom and it got the riffs flowing through my blood, got the lyrics running through my head, and this is what came out. :)

Sometimes I worry that I'll never have time to play these games because they make me wanna record so much -- best to get it out of my system when it is only a trailer :D
And I hope on the very slim chance someone from Bethesda finds this they don't mind me grabbing a still from the trailer to use as the track image.  I'll remove the picture if I'm asked to but for now I don't see anything wrong with providing my own little bit of extra hype :)
