Screamarts - UNRUHE

Amidst the flames of the palace that burned around him, the ronin longed for his memories of years past, in which the rule of his prior sovereign had been wise, benevolent, & just. A time before the ascension of the ruler's cousin following the chaotic succession of his death, a time in which the very thought of the course the ronin now pursued would have seemed surreptitious at best. Despite his own misgivings, the ronin had chosen to favor the honor of his familial oath in continued service to this new shogun. In time, he had hoped, the reality of ruling the grand realm left by his predecessor would help stir the new shogun from his avarice & cruelty.

Now, he stood solemn amidst the chaos of coup & revolution, reviling in the knowledge that time had not been his ally. Now wielding his blade in an oath all his own, he had taken up arms against those still loyal to his former master & broken his oath, rendering himself an outcast in the courts of all lords across the land. Yet he carried on, for on this path of flame and rebellion there burned one faint glimmer of hope for redemption. It would be he who would slay his former master and restore tranquility to the land once more. What judgment may fall upon his own shoulders past that point mattered not. Even if his own head should roll for the breaking of his oath, the lives of countless more would be spared from the tyrant for whom the palace now burned.

SCREAMARTS returns to EATBRAIN with UNRUHE featuring Scout 22, the latest work from the ronin producer who once more flourishes his masterful sonic artistry before the ears of the label’s faithful horde.
