Music to Level Up Your Day: Astral Chain

 

I don't know much about musical theory, nor am I a musically inclined person. However, I do love to listen to video game soundtracks. Who doesn't? They can be a powerful listening experience in their own right, or be as evocative as the scores composed for film. Each of these posts will feature music tracks from a single game title, or series/franchise in some rare cases.

Composer: Satoshi Igarashi

Singer: William Aoyama and Beverly Caimen

North American Release Date: August 2019

Set in the year 2078, humanity has been brought to the brink of extinction by inter-dimensional lifeforms called "Chimeras". Most humans left on the planet are protected by a mega-city called "The Ark" and its Neuron officers, who use "Legions" (tamed Chimeras) to fight the Chimeras.

Satoshi Igarashi wanted the background music to change genres depending on the mood of a scene: orchestral music for dramatic scenes, metal for tension, and electronic for calm scenes.
