Disgaea: Hour of Darkness to feature the song
"The Invasion from Within"
Atlus formed an exclusive partnership with the punk band
Tsunami Bomb to feature the song "The Invasion
from Within" in Disgaea: Hour of Darkness.
The English version will feature a modified soundtrack featuring the
song "The Invasion from Within" from Tsunami Bomb along with an all
new English voice over cast. The Japanese option will feature an
unedited version of the Japanese game with all of the original music
and voices intact.
The band issued the following statement. "We have a couple of video
game fanatics in our band, so we are extremely excited to contribute
"The Invasion From Within" to the soundtrack of Disgaea: Hour of
Darkness. The dark mood of the song is a perfect compliment to the
atmosphere of the game and we can't wait to play it!" - Tsunami Bomb
"Tsunami bomb rocks!" said Gail Salamanca, Marketing Manager at Atlus.
"We wanted to give consumers a very different experience with both
language versions and I think we've accomplished that with the inclusion
of "The Invasion from Within" in Disgaea's soundtrack. With its gothic
overtones and Agent M's intense vocals, the song is a natural fit for
the game. It truly does convey the most exciting and intense moments
in the game. Atlus is very excited with its collaboration with
Tsunami Bomb as it will provide an amazing cross-promotional opportunity
in both the music and videogame community."
Tsunami Bomb: the 4-piece punk band formed toward the end of the 20th
century in Petaluma, California; a sleepy Northern California bay area
suburb and home to some of the greatest punk bands in the history of
the genre, a virtual hot-bed, the next Seattle?
…or not.
But truthfully, the newest band to sign to worldwide indie Kung Fu
Records has raised the bar for punk rock debut albums with their immaculate
collection of songs on The Ultimate Escape, produced by Steve Kravac (MxPx,
Less Than Jake) and hitting stores across the globe on September 3, 2002.
On the road no one works harder than Tsunami Bomb.
10,000 copies of their
EP (The Invasion From Within) did not sell by accident. It was incessant
touring that led to such sales and a wild-yet-polished live show with arguably
the most likeable and "in control" female front-person in the business.
Singer
Agent M is a complete package, possessing a rare combination of
sweetness, beauty, talent, and power. That's the only way to pull off the
"girl sings for punk band" thing and these kids have made it a blast to
experience.
