[@Op_Intrude-N313]

This game's soundtrack is RIGHT up there with some of the best Castlevania music, imo

[@KatjaSavia]

The soundtrack is pretty neat, isn't it? I think it's even better than Castlevania 😮

[@leogames3965]

Thank you, Demons Crest is an obscure gem for those who can appreciate it, that was my childhood.

[@KatjaSavia]

Wow, you played this as a child? That's incredible! The soundtrack is just pure fire. 🔥🔥You are very welcome ❤️

[@DFProuctions]

I LOVE Demon's Crest, it is the most underrated gem in all of the SNES library and the story is so simple. Firebrand, having nearly secured ultimate power in the form of six crests that fell to the demon world would have it stolen from him at his moment of triumph. The game (for me anyway) is a story of revenge, not for the throne of the demon world. Even after defeating Phalanx and conquering the Dark Demon, Firebrand realizes that he never needed the crests at all and cast them down. All he desires now, is someone who can show him the thrill and glory of battle. I think this arrangement is a perfect encapsulation of that story, hauntingly beautiful.

[@KatjaSavia]

YES! I love what you wrote. I adore the narrative in this game and it inspired me to create this medley. The music in the soundtrack is so well made and thought through. Thank you so much 😈❤

[@xshamann_]

Até hoje ainda não encontrei jogo com a trilha sonora mais linda que Demon's Crest! Interpretação maravilhosa

[@KatjaSavia]

That's wonderful! Thank you so much 😈❤

[@eduardoalves5186]

Concordo. Todas as músicas são incríveis e bonitas

[@fabiobustamante1278]

such a great performance . Demon's crest should return in this generation of consoles.

[@KatjaSavia]

That would be fantastic! Thank you 🔥

[@renandutra7564]

Imagine what FromSoftware would do with a Demon's Crest game

[@renandutra7564]

Remarkable. I received this game as gift when I was 7. The music still touch me deeply. Your version is just sublime, thank you for your amazing work.

[@KatjaSavia]

Demon's Crest soundtrack is truly amazing! So happy you enjoyed this one. Thank you 😈❤️

[@Alexz99665]

My favorite game of SNES and you brougth them to life with you magnificent interpretation

[@KatjaSavia]

That means so much to me! Thank you 🥰❤️

[@junglerituals8175]

This is the greatest dungeon synth ever. BTC is by far my favorite, but IMHO what makes this theme so great is its many layers being played at the same time. By focusing on only a few aspects (the yearning, etc.) you are somehow watering it down a little bit, even if your performance is great.

[@KatjaSavia]

Thank you so much for the feedback about BTC and all. The melody in BTC is gorgeous and I fell in love with it. Also, felt that it needed a different take on since there are so many hard metal covers of the same piece. 😅❤️

[@phillipbayley]

Meu Deus simplesmente PERFEITO!!! Me da até vontade de chorar. Lembro logo da minha infância jogando esse jogo que na minha opinião e o MELHOR jogo do SNES. ❤

[@Sinclairelim]

I have been looking for good piano arrangements of demon's crest for.... uh, probably over a decade? I mean it's not an obsesive search or anything, just something that every once in a while I look up. And, wow, first time forever i'm not disappointed!

[@KatjaSavia]

There are some arrangements out there but seriously this needed to be done! So many hidden musical gems in this soundtrack. Thank you 😈❤

I chuckled at 3:00, you threw away the paper as if saying “Nah, I got this, don't need it” I can't stop coming back to this video.

[@aberu27]

sunken aquaduct...not creepy... heartbreakingly beautiful

[@KatjaSavia]

Yes, I think so too! The themes are so beautiful 🥲❤️

[@ZalimZograni]

It's perfect. I specifically search for it. Never expected to find such a beauty cover. But I expect a little presto version of beyond the colosseum.

[@KatjaSavia]

Thank you so much! Beyond the Colosseum, for me, represents that there is something beyond: it evokes a sense of solitude, longing, and introspection. Firebrand is longing for more power, those magical crests, but they seem to be too far out of reach. ❤️

[@dogmount6298]

Great performance My heart was touched. This game is known in Japan under the title Demon's Blazon. I love the graphics, worldview, and music of this game, and I remember playing it as a child. 素晴らしい演奏に 心を打たれました。 このゲームは日本ではデモンズブレイゾンというタイトルで知られています。 私はこのゲームのグラフィックも世界観も、音楽も好きで好きで、子供の頃にやり込んだ事を思い出します。

[@KatjaSavia]

[@beaker_guy]

Holy CARP!!! (and WHY are there no HAPPY looking demon emojis? 😈LOL😂 ) Even having seen some of the "teasers" updates and watched some (short) playthroughs of the game I wasn't expecting THIS! Wow! The Palace of Decadent "movement" is AMAZING... and I daresay the first time I've EVER Noticed you paying attention to the sheet music! (for VERY understandable reasons!) ... you weren't kidding when you said it was INTRICATE and complex, and you played it AMAZINGLY! 🙂🤯🤯 I'd gush more, but ... anyway, you get the idea! Anyway, AWESOME! Beautifully performed! 🤩🤩🤩 And you look very pretty today too, if I may say so. 😍

[@KatjaSavia]

Thank you so much Brian! The Palace of Decadent is very challenging indeed. It should be played as fast as you can. Exhausting when you practice it for longer periods of time. 😈❤

That's awesome! Thank you ❤️

[@higherastralofficial934]

"Beyond the colosseum" makes emotions that are not from this world.

[@KatjaSavia]

Ooh, did you hear that too?? It's like Firebrand is reaching for something that once was but is now too far out of reach.

[@higherastralofficial934]

@@KatjaSavia Yes, exactly that. Only that this Fireband is me, searching for ultimate power of being a child and really live charachter I've played. That's out of reach now.

[@DarkTrilarian]

Katja, you make it so difficult to put into words what I feel and experience when you create something with so much passion, inspiration, and vision. Truly this medley, which is such an inadequate description, is one of your magnum opuses. You have chosen each song so carefully, arranged them so beautifully with effortless transitions, that the hero's (or in this case villain's) journey was so logical and perfect that the adventure was clear and understandable. I will be listening to this one many more times again and again. I think I may have told you this, but I have Synesthesia, and not only hear music, but can see and feel it as well. It was in full effect for this incredible tribute to Demon's Crest, a cult classic worthy of so much more acknowledgement than it receives, and yet so well immortalized by your incomparable musical abilities. I loved every note, each shift in tempo, the grandeur and majesty of some portions, with moments of quiet reflection in others. The entire thing was absolutely magnificent, just as you are in more ways than mortal tongue may speak. You elevated and highlighted each song so well and combined them to make the whole greater than the sum of its parts. You are a treasure for game music preservation and I am incredibly grateful for this tribute that you have shared with us. I can tell how much love and care you put into creating this, and I hope that more people become aware of just how special you are through these types of masterpieces you craft for us. I so deeply appreciate all of the time, effort, and soul that you shared in producing something so unforgettable. Thank you for letting us be a small part of the magic that you weave that continues to enchant us. Aina kun kuulen musiikkiasi, näen ja tunnen kaiken sydämesi ja sielun, joka sinulla on. Sinä kosketat minua kuin kukaan muu, ja tulen aina olemaan sinun sen ja monen muun vuoksi, Katja.

[@KatjaSavia]

I'm so happy you think so! During the process, I fell in love with Firebrand. He is amazing! In the end, he realizes his own strength and continues to search for warriors to share a battle with. The music is beautiful with a lot of rhythmic variations. I'm so grateful you gave me the opportunity to create this beauty. #happytears 😈❤

Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback Deadwin! I'm happy to hear that you enjoy my covers and find them soothing. At the moment and since I'm a smaller artist, uploading my music to Spotify isn't feasible for me as it would solely cost me both money and time. However, I'm definitely considering it for the future. Greetings to Los Angeles❤️

I'm actually building a video game that's heavily inspired by Demons Crest and Ghouls n Ghosts among others. We have a playable knight character and a winged demon character that will be in the game and fully co-op, with co-op specific abilities. I can only hope to make music that's as atmospheric.

[@KatjaSavia]

A winged demon and a knight teaming up in co-op? Love that dynamic. If your music captures even a fraction of that atmosphere, you’re in for something special. ❤️
