Track

Darkness of the Unknown

Project Destati

7 minutes • March 28, 2018

"Darkness of the Unknown", a track we always considered to be the final culmination of all the fights against Organization XIII, is presented in DARKNESS as an anthology of Organization themes: "The 13th Struggle", "The 13th Dilemma", and "The 13th Reflection" all make a brief appearance, as well as a few familiar characters connected to Xemnas. A new brass melody, introduced early in the track, serves as a recurring motif throughout that ties all the pieces of this arrangement together. Along with all the fun character references, we also shifted some of the instrumentation around to better deliver the power we felt this track deserved.
