Maestro: Builder of Worlds
Excellent work once again Maestro! You please me! Anyway here is the review.
The actual substance: FLAWLESSLY song by Lady Arsenic again. My regards to her. To you Maestro, wonderful building of the song. I really like those sticato strings, they are one of the most wonderful parts of the song to me, just a wonderful suspenseful touch. The organ work is also wonderful, it reminds me of some psychaotic count playing a castle. Also reminds me of the brilliant backround piano work near the end of "These games we play". Once again the vocals really do set the scenery for the song, giving you a nice suspensful feel, but then when the insturmentation kicks in it almost sounds evil..i dont know, hard to explain. As for the chime debate, I like them, gives a nice castle-medieval feel.
Story time:(After the Dead's Witness story, they are away from that place..Maybe we will get to how some day = P).As the story starts,our heros are in a mystical place, gazing upwards upon a giant cathedral. Within the middle tower, near the top is a tainted stain glassed window. As the door creaks shut behind them they notice an abnormal cold rush over them without a breeze, but just an essence. They look around the room, noticing it has a haunting red coloring to it, almost victorian in structure. Then they look around the main room, seeing three giant suits of armor, two in the back left and right corners, and one centered. They are now walking down the great hall, on either side of them is a row of columns, and in between each of these is a strange suit of armor...not your average suits, for skeletons still lie within the standing statues. They near a celler door now, and open it to find a heap of bones. Disgusted they close the door, and go up the main toweres stairs. They are now at the top and are looking strait into a grand door. They open it, and a blast of psychaotic organ playing hits them. They enter the room and notice a count madly playing on a grand organ. They countinue to walk towards him thinking they are unnoticed, but when they get close, he spins around and screams at them "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?" now are heros,startled, ask what on earth this mad man is talking about. He once again screams this but as he finishes his sentenced he grabs the belt of the main hero. "THE SWORD!" he says. And with this the hero takes out the sword of the three. Now, drawing backwards the count starts mumbling to himself "no...no....No...NO...NO!" louder each time. "THAT WAS RIDDED OF THIS LAND MANY YEARS AGO!" With the the count runs for the tainted stain glass window and leaps through it, shattering the glass. Our heros look out the window now and down at the crippled count, who already seemed to be turning into bone. The floor seems to rumble underneath them. Now, confused, our heros look at what remained of the stain glass window..a metal piece in the middle..and it read:
"The man, the beast, the evil.
They are one in the same.
Wisdom, power, Hatred.
Fear but one of them.
For if your fear each of them.
You shall not get far."
Now, our heros, see a middle piece in the metal, allowing someone to open it. They do so, and in it lies a black crytal ring,and like dropping blood a red stream ran through the middle. They pocket this ring, and feeling now stranger then ever, they descend back down the steps, to doubtfully see how the count was, and to see what the rumble was. As they get to the bottom they noticed the cellar that they closed, was now open, and all the suits of armors are now missing. They open the door to the main room, ready for battle, and see the shadows of hundreds of skeleton knights facing them. Over these nights is a greater shadow, one that even light won't penatrate, nor the swords of our heros...
(The monster from "The Metal Visage" has finally been once again found?)
Great work,( 5/5) I think this is your biggest leap in musical understanding since "The Metal Visage" (you've been constantly improving, but this is a jump).
