Fall of the Anima Maligna (MEGALO STRIKE BACK) is a cover of a song called "Megalo Strike Back" written by Toby Fox for the album "I Miss You - Earthbound 2012".
Q&A:
Q: How was this track created?
A: This track was transcribed by ear, as well as partially recomposed in a few small areas to keep it interesting.
Q: Why "Megalo Strike Back?"
A: I'm a big fan of this song, and I've always wanted to cover it, so with all the other Undertale covers I've been doing recently for my fandub of the "Twin Runes AU" comics, I wanted to sneak this in there.
Q: What does "Fall of The Anima Maligna" mean?
A: MEGALOVANIA, the track this is a spiritual sequel to, was named after "Megalomania", a track from LIVE A LIVE, mixed with "Translyvania" as the original game that MEGALOVANIA was composed for was the "Earthbound Halloween Hack".
In the same spirit, I took one of my favorite short stories of all time "Fall of the House of Usher", and combined it with the Italian for "Evil Soul", since Megalo is a latin prefix. I just also thought it sounded cool. I still do!
Q: Why is this seperated from the other covers you are doing for "Twin Runes AU"?
A: I had a completely different philosophy composing this compared to a Twin Runes AU Fandub track. In Twin Runes, I try to do something that feels like MY version of a song, I tend to like to use lots of strings and will frequently veer off the original composition to add in a leitmotif or just because I think it'd be nice to add a new harmony or countermelody.
I didn't do that as much here, there's still a few moments of that, but I tried very hard to make this cover feel like it could be put in Undertale proper.
Q: Are you making any money off of this track?
A: Nope. I don't even know how I'd go about doing that, honestly. If you see this track on Spotify or something, it's not me! At least for now, maybe one day if I figure it out. No ads are being run on this video by me, though, monetization IS off.
Q: May I use these tracks elsewhere?
A: So long as you do not claim these tracks as your own work or monetize any project using my music, you are absolutely welcome to use it so long as proper credit is given. I don't ask much, just say "[Name of Song] by ProjectAlpha22" in your credits, and if not too much of a hassle, link back to it's upload here (you don't have to worry about that if you're making, say, a game or you're posting something on Twitter where you only have 240 characters, this would be more for if you uploaded a YouTube video yourself.)
Oh, and let me know where, I wanna see!
