SoulsBorne Skull Helmet Design. 

This is a painting study for armor, and light source. Once again, I am trying to capture the same aesthetic as FromSoftware’s art. 

Helmet is of a friend’s character called Death Head

Enjoy!

Alright, just beat Blue Lions, off to the Edelgard route.

Like last time character and story musings below the cut, so SPOILERS.

Anybody that says World Apex is better than God-Shattering Star is a fool, that I will fight.

Which is kinda how I feel about the BL route in general. Like, yeah Dimitri’s fall from grace and redemption are some of the best character arcs FE has ever had, but everything else felt a bit lacking I’m afraid. You don’t even know where it is that Claude fucked off too either. I’m also not a big fan of every Lion having a connection to an important character/event in Fodlan, but that’s a tiny nitpick more than anything else.

Back to Dimitri, as a unit he’s an absolute monster, just make sure he doesn’t get hit by a spell and he’ll be fine. As a character, as previously mentioned he has one of the best FE has had. I still prefer Claude, but that’s mostly because he hits all of my biases just right. Paired him with Marianne, and it was pretty nifty.

Dedue is an armor knight with a weakness in riding. Which means you have to work your ass off to get him more than 5 movement, and after the timeskip his usefulness really falls off unfortunately. As a character, he’s best BL boi, 10/10 would die for his smile, and blushing portrait.

Ingrid: For most of the game she was terrible, and it wasn’t until she got Falcon Knight that she actually started being useful for me, which says more about FK then it does her. Character-wise, she’s pretty meh and depends heavily on the other character in her supports to be interesting or fun.

Felix: MVP of my run, so many clutch dodges, and after a quick dip into Hero he could actually survive things hitting him so that’s cool. Also his shield is busted. If it weren’t for him being a shit in most of his C-supports, I think he’d actually be my favorite character in the game; the idea of an “only sane man” character in a world of anime, and fantasy tropes is both hilarious and oddly emotional at times.

Sylvain: He really sucked early game, and didn’t really ever catch up, if it weren’t for my own personal limitations I probably would have replaced him for Lysithia. I didn’t get the hype for his character going in, and I still don’t after beating the game. I will say his supports with Mercedes and Felix are cute as fuck tho

Mercedes: My wife this run, she’s a healer. She’s a real good healer whose personal is kinda pointless, cause if she gets hit she’s probably gonna die anyways. Her scene with the Death Knight felt kinda tacked on, but her support with Dedue is actually fantastic.

Annette: It sucks to be a mage in a game where Lysithia exists :/. Like, rally-bot and bolt axe are cool and all, but damn compared to Lys, she’s just not that great. Mine also got speed screwed, which is horrible for a mage. She’s best girl tho, her supports are all adorable, and VA did a great job with her.

Ashe: It sucks to be an archer in a game where Claude exists :/. This goes for all three of the archers, but that strength growth is atrocious. It really doesn’t help that he never really doubled anything outside of heavybois. He crit alot, but triple damage doesn’t help when he only does 10 base damage. He’s very cute and everyone needs to see his and Dedues support.

Single Review: Seas Of Conflict - Prometheus + Eventide

It’d be hard to be involved in the New Zealand metal scene without having encountered Seas of Conflict, the four piece metalcore outfit serving up a one-two punch in the shape of two new tracks, Prometheus and Eventide. These two tracks are intended as two halves of the same endeavor, displaying contrasting sides of the skill set honed and crafted by the band over many dedicated years finding not only a definitive sound, but also learning how to explore and experiment in ways that cement Seas of Conflict as one of the best heavy acts in the country. Prometheus and Eventide are two different sides of a single coin, between a refinement of the familiar and an exploration new ground. Both sides of the coin are devised and executed to a polished standard, the versatility of which make it clear that Seas of Conflict have earned full NZ heavyweight status. 

The first side of the coin is Prometheus, a track familiar in approach to what Seas fans will gravitate to. The intro immediately stomps out of the gate with a riff that’s half chug and half dark and brooding, which instantly establishes the mood and tone of the song. This riff gives way into a lead that anyone who’s heard an album from Sumerian Records in the last decade will instantly vibe to, with the sudden punch of vocalist Kody Naidoo’s insane growls. 

Finally the song lifts its foot off your neck into a more spacey bridge, the vocals overtop more drowned out, frantic, urgent than previously. The track winds along this After the Burial-esque lead, but this almost acts as a lull to emphasise suddenly returning the proverbial foot to your neck, this time heavier. Driving double kick, riff like the shower scene in Psycho, plus some of the best lows I’ve heard Seas of Conflict ever put to record. This serves as a reminder that throughout, Prometheus intends to be an exceptionally heavy track in its essence, even though the aggression might ease off in parts. The surging blastbeat drops out into a perfectly executed bounce that any fans of Seas’ live performance will recognise. You know the ones where guitarist Declan Storrie does the foot-to-foot djent guitarist stomp. Love ‘em. 

This entire section acts to prepare listeners for one of the heaviest breakdowns that Seas have ever recorded, instrumentally very reminiscent of Singularity era Northlane, paired with Kody’s aforementioned savage lows. Genuinely, the vocal delivery on Prometheus in particular cements Kody as one of the country’s best metalcore vocalists. His gutturals sound like an earthquake causing an avalanche. Said earthquake subsides and mellows into a more echoed and tranquil, vocals again drowned out and urgent, before introducing the first clean vocals of the track, unexpected but seamlessly integrated. 

Prometheus closes with a crushing weight and slow, grinding pace. Spoiler alert, it’ll bust your teeth. This track represents a refinement of the sound Seas have been crafting since starting out, less an exploration of new territory, more a flawless execution over familiar ground. This side of the Prometheus/Eventide coin is exactly the type of song many of their fans will expect from them, but executed in a way intended to simultaneously smash those expectations.

Flipping over the coin reveals Eventide, much more of a departure from the familiar territory of Prometheus. This track immediately swells into a twostep riff which honestly reminds me of Horizons era Parkway Drive, the tail end of which is clipped with metalcore chugs to draw it back to a contemporary sound. The bounce that follows introduces Kody’s vocals, this time more evened out and mid-range, establishing this as the less aggressive and more emotional of the two tracks. Eventide explores a melodic and accessible side of their genre, which is perfectly encapsulated in the chorus. Clean choruses are not something I think of when imagining the Seas of Conflict repertoire, but Eventide demonstrates a melodic versatility, not just vocally but instrumentally as well. This is a genuine banger of a metalcore chorus and one that will absolutely pay off in a live setting.

Eventide relies much more heavily on clean vocals than Prometheus, again demonstrating that this band have the ability to explore a new direction without losing complete touch with their progressive metalcore roots.

Subjective interpretation here, but I saw this shift as an emphasis on a more personal lyrical theme, intentionally delivered more clearly and understandably to feel more honest. This continues in the second verse, more forced and pained than before, before a quick and panicky section keying up to a paced groove paired with a satisfying “OH” (you’re not a metalcore fan if you don’t like OH’s). The polish on this breakdown is made fully clear when it drops seamlessly back into the chorus, transitioning back to melody without seeming jarring. 

The energy of the song then washes out into an echoey bridge, simple guitar with hazy drums, intentionally pulled to the background to focus the listener’s attention entirely on the gentle vocal melody. This section builds gradually into a steady anthemic stomp, rather than the savage breakdown a typical Seas fan might expect. That being said the choice of a soaring ending over a heavy one does not diminish Eventide’s energy, instead feeling like a well-earned payoff to a much more experimental song than fans are used to. Kody delivers his clean vocals just as consistently as his screams, which ties the track’s closing together as satisfyingly epic. 

For me, Eventide contrasts with Prometheus as the difference between what I knew Seas of Conflict can do well and what I now know they’re capable of. The choice to adopt a more chorus-focused song structure shows a knack for adaption that will doubtless serve the band well in widening their audience.

Two sides of one coin, a contrast between refinement and exploration. Seas of Conflict have managed to reflect their live energy and experience as songwriters with Prometheus and Eventide. Anyone like myself who recalls this band starting out will agree that the level of progression demonstrated by these two tracks have elevated the Hamilton heavybois to another level. The band have consistently moved from strength to strength, release wise. But for real, this is one actual hell of a strength. 

The band are supporting Northlane in Auckland on October 26th, at which I have no doubt both of these tracks will satisfy established fans and welcome new ones into the fold. The thin line between establishing a definitive tone, without being scared to stray out and explore from it, has marked Seas of Conflict as deserving of the dedicated fans they’ve earned over years in the game.

"TRIBAL LMALFUNCTIONS: EPISODE 2: AGE OF DRONES"

Hey, yo! It's Episode 2! On today's episode it's Chapter 2 of Tribal Malfunctions! Make sure you're caught up to date before you listen.

 A word or two about this podcast if I may:

It's got cussing. A decent amount of cussing. Not Blue Velvet, Sopranos, Midnight Run or Touched by An Angel level cussing but it's up there. You've been forewarned.

Accents: I do some accents in this. It's a multicultural world in the book and people are form all over. I do them not to belittle or make fun of other cultures but to flesh out the world. It sounds ridiculous if you don't. I'm not being jingoistic or patronizing when I do them. I've loved the diverse sounds of all human tongues since I was a kid and I'm not going to stop now.

I'm really digging doing this! I hope you like it.

All the music used is mine! Specifically Cathode Ray Tube although I might sneak in a few Brittney Sparse songs here and there. You can find all the music listed on the CRT discography page or just go to my Bandcamp page where there's a ton of it there as well. Here's a list of the songs played in today's episode:

"Nothing Speacial" (Tribal Malfunctions theme song)

"Jetpax For All (plays during the Travelogue)

Hollow Days/Ringing Nights (heard during the Heavyboys at the T segments)

The Travelogues will appear at the beginning of each episode. These are meant to flesh out the world and provide some insight into aspects of the novel as it progresses. They were fun to write and I think it's a nicer way to do some exposition than someone telling all this crap over a beer.

Well, that about does it. Dig in and listen up. See you next week for Episode 3/Chapter 3!
