I've listened today, very good, Reincarnated Souls have a "Pirates of Caribbean" feel. I think that  Requiem for Nameless Victims is lacking something, at least this part from the preview felt boring to me.

Wow, I exactly said the very same thing to Guifrog when he submitted his first work-in-progress track for "Reincarnated Soul", haha. Guess I'm not the only one who has this PotC feeling. :p

As for "Requiem...", you're listening to an early test, and the artist is re-recording his track atm.

Thank you for your feedback and for taking time to listen!

I think uzo will like this album, mostly. Almost no wub wub from what I heard on the preview.

We have some electro stuff, and it's pretty good. There's only one track that is influenced by dubstep, but it's not the main influence.

NEWS!
- The artowrk is complete, and it is really gorgeous (see first post for some small art pieces).
- The Rondo of Blood disc (1) is finished, all 13 tracks are done. It's more "metal" than the Bloodlines one, but you'll find orchestral, funk, and electro tracks there too.
- Two tracks remain to be done for Bloodlines, but the artist who's doing them is super skilled, and has already written the arrangements. This disc (2) is more diverse and features really interesting arrangements.
- A final trailer, featuring new songs will appear soon.
- A preview/listeing party will happen on October 27 (Sunday) at KNGI (kngi.org) - several tracks from the album will be featured during the show, don't miss it if you want to get an early listen to the album

Whoa, you're putting a lot of faith in Strader to finish not one but two tracks in less than 2 weeks. Hope for your sake he delivers.

Mmmmm....Stemage & chunkstyle.....

Trust me, I was helping for OCR's BadAss 2 album, and Strader really delivered in the end. I really thinks he loves working just before a deadline.

Unfortunately not. He claimed "Red Dawn" (from DXC), and produced a rough WiP. I contacted him several times to know how things were going, but I never got any other musical update.

I'll check for you dude and have him contact you. He probably got sidetracked with Castlevania Chronicles: Dracula's Curse.

Don't worry, there's no problem, we're too close to the release anyway.
