Host Pathogen Interface is exactly what my brain sounds like when I’m panicking

Hindbrain Self-I can’t even listen to half the time cause of how tragic and hopeless it is

So Much For The Tolerant Left?? Disturbing, droning, I don’t think I’ve ever described an audio as “hulking” before, but here we are. Given what it was used for, just listening to the audio alone can be nauseating

And then there’s Empty Love. It portrays warmth and hope for new beginnings, but behind the facade it’s perfectly cold and hollow. The only way one would be tricked into believing the lighter notes were something positive would be through losing all trust in anything the outside world has to offer. It greatly portrays the MC’s loss of sanity and hope for any other life outside of Fox. Reminds me of the “City Lights” audio for Celia.

1. 02: SO MUCH FOR THE TOLERANT LEFT

I love fast pace energetic songs so this one’s a top one for me.

2. 03: Adaptive Behaviors (I’ve Been Good Sir)

Very trippy sounding and wins the noise one in this album. (Also is a reprise or redux of Adaptive Behaviors)

3. Empty Love

Sounds very aquatic to me but still very cool because it reminds me of the Photo gallery slideshow I used to see on the Nintendo DS at my old family house, very nostalgic.

4. Archaeopteris

Wins the ambient spot in this album sounds empty at first but gradually gets more intense also good for sleeping

5. 01: Host Pathogen Interface

Very horror scifi like to me would like to put this one higher but the others before deserve to be on top in my personal opinion

6. :)

Wins a a somewhat high spot because it’s a little smiley face and sounds very cool, wish it was longer though

7. Teumessian

This one is clever because in the game this soundtrack is in the fox character (trying the best not to spoil anything) has never been caught just like a Teumessian Fox never being caught by Laelaps the dog supposed to catch any thing it pursues

8. Achtung (Perpetual)

Really good for sleep although a bit quiet I still love it, it also is a kinda redux or reprise of BARBATUS’s other song named Achtung. meaning in german “Attention”

9. 02. Autolytic Cell Destruction

A really really cool song I wish I could’ve put higher but the songs before it are really amazing and so is this one

10. Hindbrain Self

This one feels very empty it’s good, just not my favorite, also good for sleeping.

11. Eunuch Phenomenon

Really cool name but short, and empty as the last one but good for sleeping as the one before.

✨Barbatus✨

He is, to put it lightly, a menace.

One of my players is a HUGE bird nerd, and let me tell you, he wasted no time picking the goofiest, creepiest avian he could find.

From Wikipedia:

‘The bearded vulture is the only known vertebrate whose diet consists of 70–90% bone.’

Two snippets from "ATTACK DOG" that are probably going to live rent-free in my head for a while. I did not expect this to hit so hard. The art and sentiment in this comic is so possessive and feral. Make it mutual switch energy and it's a dream come true. Art -> @barbatusart
