Clad in Shadow – Shadow Core

Are you ready for the fifth and final song of Clad in Shadow? Alright, then prepare thyself for Shadow Core!

In this project, tunes get a ‘Shadow‘ version by mixing them with a Persona Battle Theme. They will usually have a darker feeling to them as well. Exceptions prove the rule though.

The final song of the first batch of tunes features Last Boss from Cave Story, The Battle for Everyone’s Souls from Persona 3 and – what else could it be – the Battle Theme from Persona 2: Innocent Sin!

And here’s the video, I included the Joe logo with the moving bars so you have something to look at for now:

The album release is coming soon too, if nothing goes wrong it should be next Sunday. The album will be free for a while and also feature an instrumental version of Shadow Dong. With that said, I’ll see you next week!

Clad In Shadow – Shadow Dong

It’s finally time for the fourth song of Clad in Shadow! And what song it is!

In this project, tunes get a ‘Shadow‘ version by mixing them with a Persona Battle Theme. They will usually have a darker feeling to them as well. Exceptions prove the rule though.

He has no style, he has no face…prepare yourself for Shadow Dong, featuring the infamous DK Rap from Donkey Kong 64, the Bad Boss Boogie from Donkey Kong Country, the Boss Theme from Persona 2: Eternal Punishment and – last, but not least – the Battle Theme from Persona 2: Innocent Sin! Are you ready to expand to the maximum??

As for the video, I’m trying to think of something else for the Clad in Shadow vids (in terms of moving bars and stuff), until then you’ll just get to stare deep into these ominous red eyes:

 

Well that was necessary. I wonder what’s next?

Best of 2016

Once again the year is ending, so it’s the right time to look back. We usually do this with a Best of album.

It features most songs of 2016 which aren’t already on another album (like the Arch Rival songs). Monster King had to be left out because the project file got kinda screwed up, so sorry about that. All other songs have been re-rendered for maximum quality and are available on bandcamp in different formats.

Some songs have been slightly altered for the album version, let me quickly list them here:

  • Frozen Warrior: Sylux part replaced by Noxus theme. Now the mix only features the ice-related hunters.
  • Eggcellent: All but one voice-effect (‘Time for a change of pace!’, because it really fits) removed, added some hits to the Sonic 3 Boss part to make up for that.
  • Kremling Boss: Added more power to the second transition to Gangplank Galleon to make it sound as powerful as the first.
  • Time to Battle: Added some oomph to You Will Know Our Names at the end by adding backing strings.
  • Eltale Battle: Significantly reduced ear rape and unnecessary hits to make the song more enjoyable.
  • Cave of Raves: Changed lead sounds for the Yoshi’s Island Cave parts so it would mix a little bit better.
  • Night of the Skeleton: Added an extra Grunty laugh, extended the ending with an extra powerful, pitch-upped repeat of Spooky Scary Skeletons. Added some 8-bit drums during build-up organ parts for Spooky Scary Skeletons. Added more intensity to the Betus Blues part.

Now enough chitchat, here’s where you can get the album, it will be available for free for a limited amount of time (just type 0,00 when asked for the price):

And of course, here’s the video:

And that concludes 2016 for me. I wish you all a Happy New Year and I’ll see you again in 2 weeks!
