Olympia Great riffs and melodies, it feels like video game music and it's so much fun to listen to.

I love the tone of the guitar, btw. Favorite track: Absolute Rapid Oxidation.

tl;dr: Loops, both short and long, attempt to score imaginary battles in the spirit of old school Japanese RPGs. Cheese and all.

This is the first in a series of releases meant to help me explore my range in writing by sticking to a specific concept and to some extent, instrumentation. In this case, battle music for role playing games.

Inspired by the likes of Nobuo Uematsu and Yasunori Nishiki, as well as the Falcom Sound Team; this is a very self-aware release that the 13-year old me would've been absolutely ecstatic about making: extremely melodic, high energy hard rock bordering on power metal with some prog influences here and there. Perfect for turn-based RPG combat!

And yes, it is *extra* cheesy.
