Imagine making a track this good

"WAIT SO I GET THIS TREAT EVERY SINGLE TIME I

[SideOfFries]

I need a Cassette Beasts 2 as soon as humanly possible.

[AloisAgos]

The perfect theme for facing down your polygonal sleep paralysis demons.

A lot of people are suggesting the song is from the perspective of the Archangels, which is a good interpretation that I agree with, but I'd like to suggest another: by the end of the game most players will have tangled with a lot of archangels and come out on top. That doesn't stop each new Archangel from trying to spook you with some silly shenanigans and a big speech about how they're too powerful for you, but after a while you've heard it all before. Sooner or later, this stops being their theme and becomes yours - for all their pomp and bluster, in the end it's the same old story for you.

[TUGTacSpatula]

Was looking through gamepass and heard this song in its trailer and downloading the game purely because of this song.

[zhoxnq]

the lyrics here for myself

Oh no, you won't dare stop and stare again
Your fingers and toes have turned ice cold
Oh no, there's nothing up your sleeve this time
With all of my might, I'll shut your eyes

You can't climb these stairs, they're far too steep for you
Pack your bags and say goodnight

Headstrong
Coming back at you twice as greater than you had thought
And I know the feeling
That you get when you're never not quite alone
And I told you
To take no further steps than you have towards me
You'll see
It's the same old story

Oh no, you don't deserve my pain again
A crossing of blows, it's so unknown
Oh no, there's nothing left to say this time
Well, haven't you heard your empty words

You can't brave this sea, it's far too deep for you
Don't say it will be alright

Headstrong
Coming back at you twice as greater than you had thought
And I know the feeling
That you get when you're never not quite alone
And I told you
To take no further steps than you have towards me
You'll see
It's the same old story

Heads or tails
Kneel before me
Rain or hail
I'll be set free
The finest stage to be winning on
We'll see
It's the same old story

OH NEAT, A BIG SKELETON GUY. EVERY TEAM NEEDS ONE OF THOSE

[fullfire]

Had the pleasure of meeting the creators of Cassette Beasts at a charity do once. They were surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.

[RegalRoyalWasTaken]

I love how this song seems to be sung from the perspective of the Archangel, but because the lyrics only kick in when you fuse, it makes it seem like the Archangel is *panicking* at the very real possibility it'll finally meet its match here, and is desperately trying to crush your morale before you crush *it.*

Still very early into the game but man, this game rules so far.

[calbum]

i love how different parts of this song's lyrics feel totally different in the context of different Archangel fights

[meeb_consumer]

The reason the archangel fights are so touching (along with this absolute masterpiece of a song ofc) is that they’re the culmination of the game’s themes of sticking to eachother in the face of our incomprehensible reality

[OrangeyChocolate]

I love it when a game has an evolving soundtrack and it adds lyrics at crucial moments. First time I fused and the vocals of this started, I got chills. I still do, every time.

[indumatipngtuber]

I, too, love fighting Cosmic Horrors from Cthulhu's Backyard with my 1980's Pokemon Technology and Bisexual Besties.

[prometheus-ii]

I like the theory that the first part is from the Archangel, the second from you/your partner, and the final chorus is both you and the Archangel together singing the same threats at each other.

[bagelgamin]

I keep forgetting how niche this game actually is. It's just so good! The ost slaps, the gameplay is interesting, characters are incredibly charming. Just a perfect game all around.

[TheMirrorDragon]

when this track started playing in the game, I knew I was in for a treat.

having this happen with your first fuse...yeah, I felt that old anime hype coming up and it was glorious. still is. I am going to 100% this game for sure.

[TWCE_SHY]

I love nowhere monarch’s design it looks like something from that beetles and the yellow submarine music video and how it also looks extremely bouncy in its idle
its just perfect

[smacky]

This game has one of the most amazing soundtracks I've ever seen. Huge kudos to the people who put it together!

[nikolasbarracca]

This gives me kinda like The world ends with you music vibes! I love it!

[super_dude]

Nothing hits harder than fusing and hearing the lyrics kick in as the entire tide of the fight shifts in your favor
