"Canyon Cleaver" – Dark Souls Inspired Dragon Boss Theme
I was inspired to compose this boss theme by a fascinating artwork from ThemeFinland. I imagined the subject as a Dark Souls like video game boss, and I tried to capture the creature's gloomy and sluggish appearance as well as what I imagine to be a tragic backstory.
