By Joren “Tensei” de Bruin

A brand new official release from Tensei (though it’s been lurking on YouTube for a bit). A mix of thrashing heavy metal guitar and cinematic orchestral accompaniment.

Tensei’s album Songs Unsung is available for purchase on Bandcamp.

The original cut of this song belongs in a 1930’s horror matinee, complete with chain-smoking organ player behind the stage (appropriate for fighting dead grandfathers).

This remix is a little less dated. The choice of instrumentation’s more varied, and the higher synth counter-melodies brighten the whole song up a bit. It’s more energetic than ominous.

By Malcolm Brown. Original “Harlequin” by Mark Hadley.

Ah, the very first boss fight track (excluding the kids’ scuffles with their respective legal guardians and/or omnipotent devilbeast pets). I like the combination of slow, spooky ‘green slime ghost’ main melody and fast synth counter-beat. The squiggly, racing bit in the middle is a little off-putting, but it’s an otherwise fun mix.

Kind of funky, all groovy. The intro track to Comfortable Bugs is undeniably catchy.

Bowman’s album Comfortable Bugs is available for purchase at Bandcamp.

By David “Dirtiest” Dycus

A neo-gothic combination of growly, fuzzy electric guitar and arpeggio chiptune. The middle section’s a little tame, but I like the intro especially.

Action chiptune. Terezi sets ‘em up with the harpsichord intro, while Vriska knocks ‘em down with that faux-metal synth riff in the first half.
