  • Awesome Music: With their SoundCloud account serving as their current primary medium, many fans will mostly be there for the music. And it does not disappoint.
    • CALL OF THE HELLSIREN serves as the battle theme for The Hellsiren in Chapter 4. The echoing chants and the main musical melody both capture the intensity of the fight and yet still exudes an odd sense of melancholy at points, as if some other part of Beltrowel is shining through.
      • SINK THE HOOK is the second version of the Hellsiren's battle theme, and manages to feel much more menacing and mystic, and also incporates a few select leitmotifs pleasantly. Overall, it's much more polished than the original.
    • The Beloved Bishop Usurper serves as Gospiel's battle theme in Chapter 4. It can best be described as "Attack of the Killer Queen on steroids". The part with the "Lost Girl" motif especially manages to mix being frenetic and emanating uncertainty.
    • While the first was pretty average, Fright Night V2 makes for a pretty solid contender for the best ever Astral Disc track. With an improved atmosphere, more menacing notes and excellent use of leitmotifs, it truly manages to represent the true scale of the battle against Mayhem Blitz.
    • Wishpower serves as the Roaring Knight's battle theme in Chapter 7. As a backdrop for the Heroes' battle against the Knight, it manages to capture the essence of Comet Holiday's motivations and the mood of the battle itself. It also deserves point for being its own thing and not another variation of "Nightmare Knight".
      • Wishpower V2 manages to top the original, with the intro having a more regal tone and the guitar helping making the theme more action-packed and fitting for a Disc-One Final Boss. Even still, it manages to retain the "dreamy" vibe of the original in certain sections, conveying the clashing ideals of the battle. In short, it's a much-needed overhaul that improves the track's tone while also retaining what made it great in the first place.
  • Friendly Fandoms: With VC!Deltarune, with both projects centering around fanmade versions of future Deltarune Chapters. It helped that both primarily had their SoundCloud tracks being their primary medium before moving on to others, and follow similar conventions such as Dess being trans, Chapter 6 being set in an atypical Gaster-adjacent locale and Chapter 7 being the Roaring.
