Burning in chaos | 28 Dec 2022 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbaLeCLOZY8

So rather than really go through *all* of Megido in 2022, I really want to focus on the Interstellar Tower mode that came out in 2022, which all of the music just blew me away in an OST I already really really loved!! The complete collection of Interstellar Tower songs are in two parts for the lower and upper parts of its first iteration.
Lower: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4ooKwiw6Gg
Upper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTjyBdo7qBQ

The last two songs in samples are my definite favorites of the other songs added in 2022; Burning in chaos is a banger vocal song and Bird Long Title is just plain fuckin COOL and honestly kinda fits right in with the interstellar songs anyway lol

didn't add these (mainly cause i didnt feel like translating them atm cause ones in katakana spanish and i'm not doing that rn lmfao) but for the flamenco fans out there there's also the songs for the Zagan-R event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dtjg1dP99lo

If anyone actually does go through these I'm down to use literally everything lol so
