A little lower in pitch, a little more minor key action, some spooky organ and growly, death-metal vocals… yeah, this is the villain’s strife track. Probably one who happens to like knives, and their edges especially.
Make a Wish (by Joren “Tensei” de Bruin) is the sole bonus track on the album. You can almost picture Tensei’s thought process during Strife’s conception. “Alright, your face has been melted sufficiently. Here. Try this on for size.” Not only is it a great cool-down, but it’s a really simple, relaxing acoustic guitar composition in its own right. It’s the ‘after-strife’ mint to top it all off.
