Track 06 / 08 - Amidst Blood Lies a Jungle Utopia
World of Warcraft area referenced: Netherstorm
Traversing the Dark Portal, through arid badlands, lush environments and magical energies, this album is a love letter to the time spent during the Outland portion of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade.
The hustle and bustle of the servers during the release day and later on, the time spent with other guild mates and on Teamspeak servers was a truly magical time for anyone growing up with this game.
While it may not be the same today, it still deserves a fitting send-off before moving onto the next chapter of this journey. Join me as I go back through all of these memories through eight electronic tracks.

There is just something about the stock sounds in LMMS, mainly the instruments created with ZynAddSubFX, that is so incredibly satisfying when it comes to attempting to match that from the Nintendo Gamecube era. Maybe the developers are just secret fans of the console. When it comes to translating the strings and choir sections, I did surprisingly well when attempting to balance and mix what I had to offer.
It was much of the same as when I initially covered the Hyrule Temple track from Super Smash Bros. Melee previously. Those piano synths alongside the choir and strings section breakdown were particularly pleasing on the ear.
Fighting in Onett was always fun and a good memory of mine. Playing as Kirby, the cars were always a bit of a pain but getting to use that down-B a lot more than made up for it. I think the only other characters that really suited my playstyle were Captain Falcon and Ganondorf in the end. It was handy that Kirby was my main as my friends both preferred playing Link and Samus respectively anyway so there were never any mirror matches!
Hope you enjoy this one. Some of the piano chords were tough but I think that I ended up putting my own little spin on things where I could. Let me know what you think in the comments below as always!
All the best.

![Akumajou Densetsu [Castlevania III, JP] - Beginning (FamiTracker FDS)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pIjf7II8mKE/mqdefault.jpg "Akumajou Densetsu [Castlevania III, JP] - Beginning (FamiTracker FDS)
Ive finally had the chance to work on something from the Akumajou Densetsu series, also known as Castlevania III outside of Japan and immediately made a beeline for the headline track in the entire OST, that fittingly being Beginning.
In the same way that Simons Theme is a cornerstone of another game in the series, I feel that this encapsulates the feelings that I get when watching gameplay videos from the game. Theres something about the first track from 2D platformers that just seems to hit different, the other one springing to mind being Strike the Earth from Shovel Knight.
Getting back to this, I wanted to use a different expansion chip as an exercise to see whether I could integrate the sounds from the other NES versions to replicate something similar with the FDS expansion, ultimately attempting to get something more akin to what you would find on the GameBoy. I went with some square bass so I could utilise a modified sine wave as the main portion of the lead sections.
Im glad that this one turned out how it did and tried to maximise each channel where I could. I tend to stray away from using the DPCM channel for samples these days as they tend to skew the output for me quite a lot and dull the other sections so its fun trying to get around that limitation.
Hope you enjoy this one. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
All the best.
