from ARMORED CORE VI: FIRES OF RUBICON (2023)

I don't know how to describe it, but when the track listing was revealed, I somehow *knew* this track would be a vocal one. The whole staff as the chorus compounds the idea that not only something happened during production with the music, but everyone at From that worked on this game did so with all of their hearts and souls. Listen to that CHANT, man. Powerful stuff, my God.

And this wasn't even Kota. This is Shoi Miyazawa's song. Fuck me, I love Armored Core.

couldn't find my favorite track from the evergrace ost in the tag, so I'm uploading it

Kota Hoshino, Shoi Miyazawa & Takashi Onodera - Armored Core VI Fires Of Rubicon: The Original Soundtrack | Bandai Namco Entertainment | 2023 | Black

Kota Hoshino was held back.

Hopefully they let him go all-out in the next one.

ALLMIND : Commencing evaluation...

chat, I'm not ready for next week

I've never been so hyped for songs I can only have an idea about what they sound like before they come out. If this listing is anything to go by, we could surmise that last track is a vocal track. But more importantly...

FREQUENCY IS BACK

absolutely obsessed with these live concert recordings of frequency posted by a non-official source. thank you takashi white

adore how hard kota hoshino goes when he sings. there's the feeling of desperation to wring out every bit of singing energy he's got. he's basically screaming near the end. the unique intro. THE VOICE DISTORTION AT THE END. the slightly out of sync playing everyone has, giving it a kinda raw and unrefined feeling even though these are all professional composers at fromsoftware. raw. raw awesome. love it
