Tensei releases original album/EP

[Tensei]

Currently topping the bandcamp charts.

Strife! is a short album/EP of original songs I made for the webcomic Homestuck, containing a bunch of songs done in a style that pays homage to various videogame/RPG battle soundtracks. It's worth checking out even if you don't read the comic, and is more or less reminiscent of my ocremixes, if a bit more polished than those.

Enjoy!

Edit: Oh, and it has melody guitar-soloing on track 5.

[JH Sounds]

Cool stuff, man.

[Bleck]

I checked Homestuck and thought oh hey, a new album.

...by Tensei?! :0

[Dhsu]

How many friggin' Homestuck albums are there. Friggin' nerds.

[Chickenwarlord]

As an avid follower of Homestuck, I found myself pleasantly surprised that I now knew about 2 of the musicians featured in the albums before they released them.

That said, Dance of Thorns and Heir Conditioning are amazing.

And was that a 'Castle over the Moon' Reference in Dance of Thorns? The Castlevania influence is more obvious, but I'm curious.

Some Embodiment of Scarlet Devil in Heir Conditioner, eh?

Some Embodiment of Scarlet Devil in Heir Conditioner, eh?

With knowing punnage to boot.

Also hearing some Decisive Battle in Atomic Bonsai.

Don't you hate it when all you get are comparisons? Because this is alright.

[Tensei]

's all intentional. Gotta pay homage to my VGM roots after all.

[KyleJCrb]

Damn, this rocks. Too bad I've gotta wait until the end of March before I can pick it up.

Also, Moon Over the Castle FTW.

Well I guess if you're this good a musician you have a bit of a right to be cocky as all hell (Referring to the music composition whatsit board).

Noice.
