Artist commentary:

Catboss:

This is a final boss battle theme in four parts! It's heavily inspired by Nobuo Uematsu's "Dancing Mad", from FFVI; in fact, I considered making a very long unloopable thing, but along the way it became apparent that it would be pretty unfeasible. So now it has a intro, two loopable middle sections, and the ending. They are as follows:

Herald of the End - An ominous chorus heralds the coming strife between the heroes and the Black King, as the players stride up to face the final boss.

March of the Black King - The Black King laughs at the puny players, and attacks. He plays around with his prey attacking with his scepter and abilities gained by the various prototypings. However, the players give him far more than he bargained for.

Heroes: Rise Up - With an earth-shattering roar, we enter the final phase of the battle. The Black King is clearly getting desperate now, pummeling the heroes with everything he has, and bringing the full force of the Reckoning to bear. The heroes respond in kind; they can't afford to lose...

Herald of the End (Reprise) - ...and finally, their efforts are rewarded. The Black King stumbles, and with a final cry, he crashes to the ground, vanquished once and for all.

I took a lot of elements from previous, unreleased songs, but that would take too long to go through. Enjoy!

I'm pretty pleased that I managed to get in every single first prototype that was listed to me.
Including that Obama picture.
