Track descriptions[edit]

Illusion was used successfully on a YouTube video paired with the work by artist Andrew Huang until it was taken down due to confusion by viewers who thought Mr. Huang had plagiarized the music.[4] Five months after its release the song gained attention in the UK by being dedicated to Sophie Lancaster, the victim of mob attack murder. The song also appears during the end credits of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.
