Artist description Renditions of existing video game compositions by two musicians rooted in extreme metal with an undying passion for all that is music, video games and video game music. The desire to enhance and re-interpret, yet remain true to the creations of the underrated musical art in video gaming, guides this endeavor to contribute material of a certain quality. Forsaking elements of techno/electronic music, Sephiroth and Death stand firmly as a hybrid entity, immersed in the extreme and dark ways of underground metal and the ambience of acoustic and clean styles.

Artist History The alliance of Sephiroth and Death has yet to establish anything substantial other than these mp3's... we are currently in the process of making the world revolve around us, so we have time to offer more music.

Group Members Sephiroth - six-string axe articulation and metal-morphosis into juns, tasty lix and speed-picked chaos, steel-pick power-up & fingerpicked acousticness, musical translation process of midi masterpieces, The musical mind behind the madness and totalitarian wielder of the master sword. Death - The embodiment of sonic synthesis which comprises our will into our world... the production, the tools and the means to an end, the provider of resonance and summoner of the divine quake underlying the melodic maze crafted by the asian ancients, father of time and unrelenting offerings of inhuman double bass and pounding meter maintenance, The control behind the madness and unforgiving bearer of the Soulreaver.

Press Reviews "Back in our day, we asked the Japanese blip gods for beefy riffing while we patiently waited, bein' all 8-bit at the end of a stage 'n sh*t, and what did they give us!?... BEEPY riffing! I mean, heh, come on, gimme somethin' to work with!" - Jaquio (comments concerning the making of Ninja Gaiden)
