Artist commentary:

Makin:

Do you know the track "Stress" from Homestuck Volume 9? It was based on an ancient unreleased track by the legendary Buzinkai, and TirantBacon and WarxTron put their music making hands together to the task of remixing the original once more.

Monckat:

Dirk finds himself in a mildly spooky, straining situation deep in the depths of the Land of Tombs and Krypton.
