Fogbeasts has been one of my favorite battle themes for a while now. The piano, strings, guitars, and drums instrumentation, high energy, and use of jazz like harmonies of the original are blended together so well. In this arrangement I wanted to keep most of the original ideas but change up the instrumentation to a synth prog/Motoi Sakuraba-esque arrangement with just organ, analog synth, bass, and drums. It was pretty tricky to get some of these parts up to tempo, especially the piano solo from the original, but it was a lot of fun to play.

Thanks a bunch to @hyperlightdrummer and bewildebeest for playing drums and bass guitar for this one!

Also, for the first time on this channel, this is an arrangement that I did not fully handle the mix for. Thanks to myuik for doing the mixing on this!

I do a lot of stuff for Pixel Mixers albums, of which this track was a part of the "Chain Attack" Xenoblade Chronicles 1 tribute album. You can check out this track and the rest of the album on streaming services if you'd like because of this!
