"An audio soup of half remembered game tracks featuring all of the hits and many misses from the golden age of ROBLOX. From the run down Iron Cafe, through to the Brickbattle Enroute of Crossroads, to Shedletsky's Sword Fights, the people came. The Roblox legacy no longer lives on, the corpse of games bares no resemblance to those heady days in the late 2000's and early 2010's."

About The Death Of Blox:

"I came up with the idea for 'The Death Of Blox' in early 2023 after breaking up with a Keremblox, a dear friend of mine who I met in 2020. We had so many memories together, we built many games, we played and partied with friends, made inside jokes, and went through the quarantine life together. The feeling of breaking up with a really close friend because of how both of us changed for the worse really felt like the final nail in the coffin for the age of Roblox.[1]

I went back and saw a pale shadow of the past. Repetitive and boring games, endless microtransactions and greedy developers who lack soul in their games, unfair moderation and endless drama within the toxic community, horrible updates being pumped out by Roblox just to please some greedy corporate investors that are out of touch with the scene. For me personally, something had died. The spirit, the fun, the platform. Roblox and its games felt dead to me.

The original 'The Death Of Blox' project was big with 40 tracks, using almost every classic hit from the old Roblox times and stripping the spirit and energy away from them to represent the old and dying games of the past. This was not nostalgia, It was an inverted praise to a time when Roblox was about bringing people together for a shared experience. A time when only the game's quality, the passion that went into it, and getting on with the community mattered.

In the previous months, I have revisited the work several times. And so eleven tracks were chosen from the project and have now been pressed by Kunaki as a ‘memory of the dead past’. A monument to a lost era that was finally set in stone via a physical format. A proof of its existence.[2]

The tracks are in reference to the popularized games of Roblox from the time, and some personal takes on my memories from those days. The people, the music, the parties, the battles, and the long lost games. Flashbacks only, now consigned to their own dusty experiences.

"We danced like we never did before. We danced in the darkest hour of the night. It's dead now, it's over. Long it may live..."
-Sonic4 after 'The Death Of Blox' event that took place in the abandoned location of Sonic Cafe.[3]

"the worst butcher ever"

This is Sonic4 (aka Eray) and I'm always busy and too tired to release something new.

We make the best of the worst.

It's rare for people release their albums on my Bandcamp, so I suggest you should check out what VaultKid has to offer.
