Darkness of the Unknown - Kingdom Hearts 2 - Add to Your Playlist #75
8Hi there everyone! Today we add a song from the beloved franchise that is Kingdom Hearts, particularly it's official numbered sequel, Kingdom Hearts 2, developed and published by Square Enix. Say what you will about the story and the direction it took, these games have always been solid in terms of production. They all blend Disney and Final Fantasy-esque aesthetics beautifully, as well as having great presentation and, obviously, music. And when your composer is Yoko Shimomura, there's very little room for mediocrity. This particular song I believe represents the epic conclusion to what is the Kingdom Hearts story, at least from what we knew at the time. It is a great blend between the madness and power of the antagonist and the themes of Kingdom Hearts, representing our heroes, and how they are engaged in battle at this moment. It feels melancholic and scary, but at the same time full of energy and refusal to back down. I believe it is one of the best tracks I've ever heard, and it was very difficult not to share it even sooner. Great for working on a tight deadline or when having to really concentrate on a hard task.
Enjoy!
