Eligor Battle Re-score - Death Metal Anxious Heart

I re-scored the Eligor boss battle BGM using Anxious Heart as base material into cinematic death metal. I also  replaced the intro cutscene music using Anxious Heart - False Memories (From FFVII Remake OST Plus, the music that plays briefly during the Nibelheim flashback during chapter 1).

I think Anxious Heart's harmonies are a great fit for death metal, which is why I decided to make this track and mod it into the game. Since this area's BGM was Anxious Heart in the original, I chose the Eligor boss battle as the location for it. To make it fit a boss battle setting, I added cinematic elements to the mix like tubular bells, a choir, and a pipe organ among many others. The lighter middle section was a challenge to re-score, but I think I got it to fit with a creepy/tense vibe and driving rhythm.

The cutscene cue is a mix that starts off with the vanilla BGM, then transitions to Anxious Heart - False Memories from OST Plus when Eligor appears on screen. The boss battle music starts during the cutscene before the actual battle begins, so if you skip the cutscene you're going to hear 45 seconds of intro cue before the death metal starts. Sorry about that, and try not to die so you don't have to re-start lol.
