As explained previously in Soundtrack of 'Psiarch: Rising' - Parts I and II, and as reiterated in Soundtrack of 'Psiarch: Rising' - Part III, the manuscript for Psiarch: Rising
contained quotes of rock/metal songs for every part and first pages of
chapters until its final rewrite (the reason why these were removed, as
well as the use of YouTube vids instead of Spotify playlists for this blog series, are also explained in the fist of these two previous posts).So, without any further ado, let's move onward with the soundtrack of Part IV + Epilogue of Psiarch: Rising.
