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!»
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».

And for this, the exceptional graphic designer Rolls3D has crafted a stunning piece of artwork, meticulously detailed filled with symbolism and references to the video game, you may have already glimpsed some of it in the teaser we presented just a few days ago, an impressive kind of “bestiarium” that expands the game’s imagery and adds greater depth to the fantastic lore created by guys at Frechou Games and HON Team.

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.
Just released a brand new video on YouTube for the track ‘Forbidden Fumes,’ featuring stunning AI-generated animation. Dive into the mesmerizing visuals and immerse yourself in the world of Deemtee. Watch now and let the journey begin
