Anyone remember the death-metal Age of Decadence promo video someone made?

i want to show the video to someone. to this day i still think it's one of the best promotional trailers made for an RPG game, death metal music and all. it was expertly edited and it showcased all of the game's features in a way readibly accessible in 2-3 minutes.

i'd really appreciate if someone can dig it up.

it's a very good trailer. i tried googling it some more but there is so much garbage footage of AoD (stupid fucking LP's, stupid reviews, etc) that i can't find it.

it was a much better trailer than any of the official ones.

Video is great but the music makes my ears bleed. I hate metal or whatever this "music" is called. Official trailer is way better:

Btw, the metal trailer is the 2nd result on youtube if you search for "Age of Decadence trailer". I remembered, because I bought AoD this week (Despair, VD, 'cause I am comin' to get ya!), and I was looking at the trailers just before that.

What?! The metal trailer was made by the same dude who sang praises of Undertale?!

Oh, the humanity...

Vince, you have to put this as a blurb on the back of the game box when it comes out.

I'm thinking of the release trailer right now. Foreboding ambient music. A menacing darkness. Thunder crackles in the distance, and the sentences fade in one by one as the music reaches its emotive peak:

"Tried a mercenary, died in the first fight.

Tried an assassin, died in the first fight.

Tried a praetor, and guess what?

Yes, died during the first fight."

The ebbing music hangs; mournful, tense. A beat of utter silence, and then BAM!
GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE

BITCHING HEAVY METAL MUSIC AND CUT TOGETHER SHOTS OF INTENSE ROLEPLAYING OPTIONS AND WALLS OF TEXT AND THE LOGO BURNS THROUGH THE LAST SCENE OF THE FOOTAGE MERCILESSLY

Over it, a deep, sonorous voice speaks, each syllable fraught with the weight of destiny.

"Age...of Decadence."
(with the text "Now out at www.irontowerstudio.com")

The voice...
The voice belongs to Skyway.
