Fallen Hero

Thank you Materia Collective for sending us this digital album to review!

It’s no secret that I love the music from Undertale and have reviewed many different renditions of the songs from this game. If you enjoyed Ferdk’s interpretations of Battle Against a True Hero, Hopes and Dreams, and Spider Dance, you’ll want to hear Ro Panuganti’s versions in this album. I was impressed with Ro Panuganti’s Pokemon album, Metal Trainer, and looked forward to his progressive metal take on Undertale. While it doesn’t dethrone String Player Gamer’s version as my favorite, it’s still a solid album.

Fallen Hero has 24 tracks with the guitar being the most dominant instrument used. You’ll still hear drums, keyboard, violin, and other percussion instruments too. All of the songs were instantly recognizable and brought back fond memories of playing this game.

1. Once Upon a Time 02:25

2. Fallen Down 01:12

3. Ruins 03:25

This is a pretty good sampling of Undertale songs as you’ll hear the opening theme song, battle music, boss music, and songs from peaceful moments in the game. There are over 100 tracks in the OST and songs chosen for this album are exceptionally done.

This approximately 80-minute album is a must-have for any progressive rock-loving Undertale fan. The asking price is a reasonable $10 and can be purchased digitally on Bandcamp in MP3, FLAC, ALAC (Apple Lossless), AAC, Ogg Vorbis, WAV and AIFF formats. It’s a dollar cheaper on Amazon for MP3 format only.
