about

It's pretty hard to believe that I actually kept the same sounds and instruments across an entire album. It started off with experimenting in the area of "what if I made electronic speed metal using all virtual instruments" and then next you know, I've composed five songs. This project is certainly unique in its sound and stands out amongst my other releases.

The name of the album clearly describes the tone of the songs; each track is dedicated to a favorite Protagonist of mine whether it's in a video game or an anime:

Shana's Pursuit is dedicated to the lead of Shakugan no Shana, which in various tones describes her adventures and constant motion in the universe she plays in.

Vincent's Revenge is dedicated to Vincent Valentine from Final Fantasy: Dirge of Cerberus and captures his backstory in darker tones.

Kayle's Calamity is dedicated to Kayle from League of Legends and describes how her life took a turn for the worse.

Katarn's Voyage is dedicated to Kyle Katarn from Star Wars, my favorite character in the series. Kyle is a man shadowed by a life of uncertainties and greyness, travelling between the Light and Dark side of the Force on a journey like no other.

Geralt's March is dedicated to Geralt of Rivia from the Witcher stories. With an entertained fate to Ciri but also the land that he travels, he is always on the march towards an unknown.
