Episode 1's soundtrack is up on Steam, which is the final intended platform and I can now 100% focus on Episode 2's development.

I've also updated the itch.io soundtrack files, so there should be no more problems unzipping on Windows. OST patch notes (lol) here.

"Shorten it!" I hear you saying. "I already have. Multiple times. I can't shorten it anymore without anyone going 'okay what in fresh hell is happening here?', so it stays the way it is."

I've been wanting to come up with this kind of melody lately. Then suddenly last night, I had this tune come to my mind. Sorry about the poor quality! I had to quickly play and record this before I forgot it.

Veilburner - The Duality of Decapitation and Wisdom

Blackened Death Metal from Pennsylvania, U.S.

Veilburner is an experimental blackened death metal duo from Pennsylvania. Formed in 2013, the band has released six full-length albums to date, with the first three forming a trilogy themed around transhumanism. Their experiments with dissonant melodies, psychedelic and quasi-industrial overtones in a black/death metal context reflect their lyrical themes of esoteric storytelling and arcane subject matter. Seven albums, seven tracks, and each one seven minutes long. On “The Duality of Decapitation and Wisdom”, the two of them pick up where they left off (both musically and conceptually) with the 2022 VLBRNR of almost the same name.
