You'll be getting the pieces for Usual Tastes and Smokey Flavors today, because I forgot to upload the former when I completed it. Regardless, we're really getting to the point now where the Core Realm is getting sparse on new songs, since it's been explored quite heavily. Reduxtion cannot come soon enough, when I get to start adjusting old themes with more instruments. The damaged Overchurch song here was fun; I do like my industrial music, so finding a way to implement that style into a Fantasy setting is fun.
