Review of HON2 soundtrack from Gamegrin by Alana Dunitz

Another great review of Hands of Necromancy 2 soundtrack from Gamegrin by Alana Dunitz:

«The soundtrack for Hands of Necromancy II is awesome. It’s moody and atmospheric, fitting this fantastical world full of dark creatures very well. I didn’t expect something so epic sounding out of a game that looks like it’s from the era of other classic FPS games!»

Review by ZlimBratSki

ZlimBratSki made a review in their channel yesterday and he had really nice words about Hands of Necromancy 2 soundtrack (7:50).
 
«The beauty of the dark fantasy setting keeps on delivering, it’s so beautiful toppled with I personally think is one of the top three if not the absolute best freaking soundtracks that I’ve ever heard in my life.
And the music you’ve just heard now it’s really just a little snippet of the insane, mighty, amazing music that this game has, and it mixes it up but always stays dramatic orchestral like and beautiful».
 
Remember that you can pre-order the album here:

No Clean Singing reviews new Deemtee videoclip

If you haven’t listened to Deemtee‘s December 2023 album Strange Aeons & Deliriums, you should. If you need more fulsome encouragement you could read my review which accompanied our full-album premiere here, or you could watch and listen to the new video for “Forbidden Fumes” from that album, even though it’s just one facet of an extremely multi-faceted record.

I’ll borrow from what I wrote before about the song: As “Forbidden Fumes” begins, a guitar dances like a lively sprite, the bass transmits a jazzy pulse with a fretless tones, and NHT continues to deploy his excellent singing voice, adding to the song’s engaging aura.

As that song proceeds, the music spins up into greater extravagance through a glorious guitar solo, and then NHT‘s soaring and somber singing begins to sound more demented, the music more jolting, the drumming more rambunctious, the surrounding music more… deliriously glittering. It becomes a fascinating dream, with a truly head-spinning crescendo.

The video is very cool too, as much of an extravaganza for the eyes as the song is for the ears.
