Hello everyone! Any Sea of Stars fans in the crowd?

I've been wanting to cover this one ever since I played the demo a couple of months ago, but I was too busy finishing the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 album. With that now released, I thought it would finally be time I'd tackle some Sea of Stars!

Even though this is a cover, I felt suddenly inspired by many things that I've been listening to recently! I've been absolutely obsessed with the soundtrack version of Moebius Battle from Xenoblade 3 so I attempted to borrow a bit of that energy, drum sound, and synth risers as the main influence for this new cover. Metallica "chuga-chuga" rhythm guitar sections can also be heard, Xenoblade 2 unique monster dissonant lead-up, FF7 Airbuster choir bits, and more. Ys VIII was also the inspiration for those 80s style chimes in the background in some sections, and you can also hear Chrono Trigger's Boss Theme referenced at the start of my solo as well as Magus' Theme playing in the background just after. I wonder if anybody will spot that...

See you next time!
