This is the track that plays when you fight one of the player characters, Zeke.

It’s a fiery, classic guitar rock piece that gives the impression of expressing Zeke’s humanity.

I love how it shifts from the band sound into a heavy, weighty interlude—though it’s an instrumental, so that might be a strange way to put it—that part is really cool!
