Track

The Darkness of Eternity

Fredrik Häthén, JohnStacy & Sean Schafianski

4 minutes • July 30, 2019

A high intensity, symphonic metal version of "The Darkness of Eternity". We wanted to make something truly gargantuan and fitting for the final boss battle of the game. This piece was not only inspired by the music of Final Fantasy 9, but also FF7, Dream Theater and more. Everything came together beautifully and we hope everyone enjoys this track as much as we did putting it together!
