Saxon. They are legends, and somehow manage to keep cranking out new jams.

Mmm. Feels like rusty meat, as all good death metal should.

Synth keys drenching my Melodeath? Yes please

If I had a top ten albums of all time list, this one would definitely be on it.

Great lyrical rhyming here:
Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do if the pay rate's right

I'm just not really interested in checking it out, I've never even played the games.

Ah, okay then. Thanks for letting me know about that. Just thought it'd be something you'd be interesting in checking out if only because the music and general "Anything goes" style of art direction and design reminds me a lot of your stuff if that makes sense.

It's nothing personal or anything. I'm just cautious with game soundtracks and even anime openings.
Because I'm very susceptible to liking something so much it goes into an 'official' playlist for my comic, and if it already belongs to an established (copyrighted) series, I feel a little off connecting them.
Some songs lend themselves to my characters so well, I have to be cautious.

That and ... I'm one of those people who have to have played the game in order to enjoy the soundtrack. They belong together.

Yeah, I get that and those explanations make a lot of sense.

And also I agree about that the gameplay and music going together. arguably one of the reasons why Guilty Gear's music works so well is because it is explicitly tied to the individual characters in portraying their arcs, personalities, motivations, backstories, etc. So I totally get that as well.
