Music by SHINE!
The soon-to-be music phenomenon SHINE provides the music with the «Sounds From The Afterlife - Concept Album For Messorem». The norwegian 8-piece delivers an astounding 65+ minutes of live orchestrated music that paints the world of the game with a magical assortment of sounds, genre-variety and instrumentation.
SHINE brings the action and drama to new levels with the two vocal-tracks «The Final Hour» and «Shimmer». From blistering speed-metal to folky J-pop undertones, the band delivers audible spectacle like no first-time Indie game has ever seen (or in this case heard) before.
