FAIL – Fallen Angels in Limelight

Leave a comment

Hey all, it’s Kern here… I should have gotten around to this sooner, but I’m back to writing reviews again, the likes of which will start being posted sometime next month. Until then, I wanted to let you know about one of our ongoing projects.

Aside from fan songs and the City of Shadows universe, Kresh and I have other projects going on all the time…. when it comes to FAIL, this is a project Kresh has been heavily steeped in.

I wanted to do a proper post introducing you all to Fallen Angels in Limelight (FAIL). This is a virtual band project created by The Demented Ferrets. Blending a mix of gothic aesthetics with glam rock, synth, and metal influences. This is AI powered music, with humans written lyrics. The project explores dramatic storytelling, emotional themes, and stylized visuals. Every track is written, arranged, and produced using a mix of AI tools and human direction. The goal isn’t to mimic reality, but rather, to create something new, expressive, and creatively bold.

With the launch of the new FAIL channel a few weeks back we also posted up a new single for it. So without further delay, I introduce you to FAIL!

Make sure to follow us over on the channel to hear music right as it’s released. I’ll post it here as well, but at a much slower rate so it really is imperative to follow the channel.

Fallen Angels in Limelight began on our The Demented Ferrets channel as just a side project that Kresh was tinkering with. As it grew and began to take shape in her mind we felt it best to branch it off into its own channel. City of Shadows 2 is being released over on FAIL, so if you like the plot of City of Shadows, be sure to check it out over there, thanks!

That’s all for now, I hope you enjoyed the song.

This has been Kern of The Demented Ferrets (and FAIL), where stupidity is at its finest and level grinds are par for the course. See you next time! If you like what we do, please consider supporting us on Patreon!

RWBY Fan Song: A Letter to Winter Schnee

Leave a comment

Hey everyone, it’s Kern here, coming at you with a Weiss Schnee related fan song, and a letter she might have written to Winter early in volume 1. This is just head canon, but the song resonates well, I’d say. When I wrote this song, I wanted to paint Winter as the trusted role model that Weiss knows her to be, while equally banking on busted ego Weiss seems to have in the very early segments of RWBY Volume 1.

I wanted to do a Weiss fan song that’s more “fan fiction” than realty, although these themes are present in the show for sure. We set the stage with Weiss sending a letter to sister because we get no Winter Schnee in V1… so, yeah… this would take place in the ensuing days after the initiation, before she fully acclimates to Peter’s advice.

Hope you like the song!

Lyrics:
[Verse 1] Dearest Winter, I write from this madhouse they call a school, Where chaos reigns and no one minds the rules. You told me to be strong, to lead, to stand with pride… But by Dust, I swear this place is testing every ounce of me inside.

[Verse 2] Ruby, my own team leader — younger by two years, Still acts like a child with no sense of her peers. She doodles in class while we study the Grimm, And skips through the halls on a juvenile whim. Yang, her sister, slams through halls with fists and flair, She calls it ‘training’ when she throws me through the air. Horseplay, roughhousing, shouting without shame… And somehow I’m the one always taking the blame.

[Chorus] Oh Winter, what happened to order and grace? It’s just hall brawls and pillow wars taking place. I try to speak sense, try to bring a little class… But I may as well talk to broken glass. You told me I’d grow, you’d help me rise, But this is madness — not training — in disguise.

[Verse 3] And Blake, mysterious, quiet, and bold, She stares like I’ve done something wicked and cold. She speaks my name with bitter disdain, As if I forged the contracts, as if I caused the pain. I barely know her, but she acts so severe… Judging our family, as if I brought us here.

[Bridge] But Pyrrha… she’s different, a light, sincere, A champion’s heart, and the only one near Who listens, who cares, who gets this facade, The struggle to lead when they treat rules as fraud. With her, I’m not lost in this swirling parade, She sees the girl, not the name or the blade.

[Chorus] Oh Winter, I miss your quiet tone, The echo of your boots on marble stone. I miss your voice, your steadiness, your stare, Here, I’m adrift — and most don’t seem to care. They laugh, they shout, they dance in fire… While I sit here, drained, barely inspired.

[Outro] So, I write you this letter, while I’m away, And you’re serving Atlas in your own way. But if you can spare a moment to write, Please remind me that I’m not right. That the world still holds reason, logic and purpose dear, Because without that thought, I may not last here. Your sister, striving to stay composed… Weiss Schnee… …… An official student of Beacon Academy….

Final Fantasy VI Fan Song: Call Me Thief (Locke Cole)

Leave a comment

Hey all, it’s Kern here dropping you a fan song about Locke Cole from Final Fantasy VI (Final Fantasy 6, or Final Fantasy 3 if you play it on the SNES). Locke is introduced early in Final Fantasy VI as a charismatic rogue with a knack for sneaking, stealing, and looking good while doing it. He’s got fast hands, and faster comebacks. On the surface, he’s your classic RPG rogue (or Final Fantasy Thief).

He’s witty, agile, a little bit flirty, and fiercely independent… or, so it seems…

From the moment he appears, it’s clear there’s something more behind the smirk. Locke isn’t just here for riches or fun. He’s hurting. Everything he does, every fight he throws himself into, every damsel he tries to save, every relic he chases down is driven by something deeper: guilt, loss, and a desperate need to protect what he couldn’t protect before.

So enter in this fan song, “Call Me Thief” a tribute to Locke Cole, and who he actually is as a person. I wanted the song to reflect his passing as well as his caution. His values, and his contradictions. What he holds privately, and what he wears openly on his sleeve.

Locke Cole is probably one of the most compelling characters in Final Fantasy VI. Honestly, although he is not my all-time favorite, he stands solidly in the top 3 characters I most resonate with when playing through the game. If you liked the song, please consider subscribing to us both here on the blog or over on YouTube for more gaming fan songs like this.

Remember, we play games over on Twitch as well, so come by and say hello. You can catch us streaming for a few hours a few times a week.

STARBOUND – A Synthwave Journey Amid the Stars

Leave a comment

Hey all, it’s Kern here, coming at you with a synthwave album that we’ve slowly been trickling out onto YouTube over the past few weeks. This is a short, experimental album, but if you like stories like this one with a synthwave and science fiction bent then make sure to like the videos, leave comments, and maybe follow us over on our channel. The more engagement from you readers on our channel, the better for us. The more we know what kind of music you like to listen to, the more chances we have to make that style of music.

The Starbound album comes to you from the mastermind of Kresh, and there’s a loose narrative to be found across the album about an AI learning about their own humanity and person-hood. It’s also much shorter than our glam rock/glam metal City of Shadows universe, which is now in its second album.

As for me, when it comes to Starbound, my personal favorites from this album are probably Nebula Drift and Blackout Horizon. For me, those two just hit perfectly. Nebula Drift just feels like you’re moving through outer space in the best way possible, and Blackout Horizon is about getting sucked into a black hole, what isn’t to like, really?

Tracks go in the order found below, or you can just check out the full playlist here.

The final song, Earthbound caps off this short adventure through the stars as our hero heads home, and what a journey it’s been. With today finally bringing the end to the album, you can now find the mp.3s up on our Patreon for those who want them.

Hopefully you enjoyed the ride. This has been Kern of The Demented Ferrets, where stupidity is at it’s finest, and level grinds are par for the course! Check out some of our other playlists and musical collections below.

Rainbow Rodeo – A LGBTQIA Pride Album

Leave a comment

Hey all, it’s Kern here, coming at you with a mostly country music album with two bonus songs. The goal with this album was just to spread a little pride through the LGBTQIA community to our best ability. Personally I had a blast making the majority of it, and Kresh came in strong with the final two songs. I hope you like it.

Song 1: Rainbow Rodeo – This is just a fun song over all, and is meant to capture the spirit of the album. It’s a lot of glitter, glam, and honky-tonk country music. Rainbow Rodeo is just a celebration of the LGBTQIA life, and all that it can be. Own your truth, and have a good time with one.

Song 2: We Belong to the Open Road – This one is a little gritty, a lot of fun, I wanted this song to reflect that real honky-tonk grit found in country music. This is more for those who have a small community or no community at all. I wanted to reflect a unity among the community, and that can be cultivated when we go searching for it.

Song 3: Fudge, Wine, and Just a Lil’ Somethin’ – This is a gritty romance song between two women, nothing much else to say about it… lol, the story tells the story all on its own.

Song 4: Open The Door – This is a feel good “coming out” song. It’s about love, acceptance, and walking out from the shadows to air all of the things that those in the closet often don’t feel comfortable saying. This song celebrates empathy, pride, and finding the courage to finally just come out and live your truth.

Song 5: Darling – Another romance song, although this one is a little more tender. Less about partying, and finding that committed, long term relationship.

You can get the above songs on our Patreon.

The two Bonus Tracks are only in the video for now, and will release in a separate compilation later.

Song 6: Shine in Every Shade – A glam rock addition made by Kresh. This one is also about the coming process, and finding strength in one’s self and those around them.

Song 7: Unveiled (REMAKE) – This was a hardcore remake of our original song, using our bands TDF and FAIL. Also a duet, this song goes hard now! Enjoy this one, it’s amazing!

Well, that’s all for now everyone. I hope you enjoy this album, it was a lot of fun to make, and be sure to check out our other songs and content!

Stage Left, Exit Flame

Leave a comment

Hey all, it’s Kern here! This is a song from Fallen Angels in Limelight (FAIL). For those of you who don’t know Fallen Angels in Limelight is a virtual band project created by us (namely Kresh) . Most of the songs have glam rock, synth, or metal influences. Obviously, this is an AI project that explores dramatic storytelling, emotional themes, and stylized visuals. Every track is human written. The goal isn’t to mimic reality, but to create something new, expressive, and creatively bold.

The song is about breakups and new beginnings as lesbian lovers end their relationship. One walks out, and the one left behind picks up the pieces in her life. It’s as empowering as it is a little sad. Press play and see for yourself, the worst that happens is you decide you don’t like it.

I put the lyrics below too!

Lyrics:
[Verse 1] I stood in the silence, the crowd on their feet, Still holding my line, but she skipped the beat. A kiss backstage, a promise in smoke— But now her note’s the one that broke.

[Pre-Chorus] She left behind her perfume and pride, A shattered mirror in the green room light. No warning, no bow—just the cold of the floor, And the echo of heels as she slipped through the door.

[Chorus] Stage left—exit flame! She walked out and torched my name. No encore, no refrain— Just ashes in the fame. Stage left—exit flame! I played on while the curtains came. But hearts don’t break the same… When the fire’s part of the game.

[Verse 2] Spotlight flickers where her shadow stood, The queen of velvet, misunderstood. She left me the crowd, but stole the spark— And I’m still singing in the dark.

[Pre-Chorus 2] So pour the glitter, light the fuse, This heartbreak’s got some leather shoes. You burned me down in style and grace, But I’ll rise dressed to replace.

[Chorus] Stage left—exit flame! She walked out and torched my name. No encore, no refrain— Just ashes in the fame. Stage left—exit flame! You kissed me with a match and shame. Now every night’s the same— I burn through every frame.

[Bridge] (She said she’d stay…) (She lied in lace…) (She danced away…) (And left this place.)

[Breakdown] She was thunder in stiletto heels… But now she’s just a ghost behind the reels. I’ll keep playing through the pain— The limelight loves a soul in chains.

[Final Chorus] Stage left—exit flame! But the spotlight knows my name. Your silence fed my fame— Now I set fire to the blame. Stage left—exit flame! I burned the script, I own the stage— And from these ashes… I became.

If you liked the song, you can get the mp.3 to listen to whenever you’d like over on: patreon.com/TheDementedFerrets if you’re a member!

Well, that’s about it for now, I’d say. Hopefully you liked the song and I’ll catch you all next time. This has been Kern of the Demented Ferrets. Where stupidity is at it’s finest, and level grinds are par for the course.

RWBY Fan Song: Silver and Ice (White Rose)

Leave a comment

Hey all, it’s Kern here, coming at you with another RWBY fan song, this time centering around Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee, or “WhiteRose” to those who sail the ship.

This project is a combo between Kresh and I. I wrote the lyrics, and Kresh got the sound we wanted out of the AI we use. I thought it was only fitting that this project featuring the dynamic White Rose duo get star treatment from the Demented ferrets duo that work on the songs on our channel (Kresh and I). If you like her sound, check out her music here too… seriously, if you like this, I’m sure there are others that you’ll just love.

If you like fan songs like this one, follow us over on YouTube.

Personally, I absolutely love this pairing and while it isn’t canon yet (and probably won’t be), the subtext between these two speaks absolute volumes. When I was working on this fan song I really wanted to highlight the overall feel of these two characters, and keep the romance in this one ambiguous and playful more than anything else. I hope I managed to achieve that, but I’ll let the lyrics speak for themselves:

Verse 1: Side by side, we stand in the fray, You hold your ground, I rush ahead each day. A partner’s trust in every move, In the quiet moments, our hearts improve. Through the storm, we find our pace, Your steady hand, my wild race. A glance, a word, a simple sign, In the silence, we both align.

Pre-Chorus: In every strike, in every fight, You’re the calm, I’m the silver light. We stand as one, together we rise, With every challenge, we meet each surprise.

Chorus: We move in rhythm, the world untold, Silver and ice, a story unfolds. No need for words, yet we understand, A connection felt, without command. The rush of speed, the grace you show, Together, a bond that continues to grow.

Verse 2: Your strength in silence, my heart’s desire, You steady the storm, I fuel the fire. Your blade, a cut so cold and true, And I’m the spark, igniting through. In the quiet of night, we find our way, A team, a partnership, come what may. Through every battle, we hold our ground, In each other’s presence, we are found.

Pre-Chorus: In every strike, in every fight, You’re the calm, I’m the silver light. We stand as one, together we rise, With every challenge, we meet each surprise.

Chorus: We move in rhythm, the world untold, Silver and ice, a story unfolds. No need for words, yet we understand, A connection felt, without command. The rush of speed, the grace you show, Together, a bond that continues to grow.

Bridge: In the glance of an eye, in the sound of a breath, We find what words fail to express. The bond we share, unspoken, true, A thread that ties me close to you.

Chorus: We move in rhythm, the world untold, Silver and ice, a story unfolds. No need for words, yet we understand, A connection felt, without command. The rush of speed, the grace you show, Together, a bond that continues to grow.

Outro: Silver and ice, we stand as one, Two halves of a whole, with battles won. Side by side, we’ll always be, The rush of the storm, the calm of the sea…

I hope you enjoyed that song for what it was, and forgive it for what it wasn’t… I had fun making it, and that’s what counts I say. Anyway, I’ll see you next time, everyone. This has been Kern from The Demented Ferrets, where stupidity is at its finest, and level grinds are par for the course. Stop by and say hello to Kresh and I over on Twitch if you get the chance!

First though, let’s talk about Thunderous Power Kicks (T.P.K)! This is a fictional band set in the world of DnD, and led by their fearless band leader and bard Myev Rockblade. She’s glam rock diva, so she loves being the centre of attention but when it comes down to it shes loyal to her band/friends. This band is part of the greater Demented Ferrets band universes, along with FAIL: Fallen Angels in Limelight for our City of Shadows universe.

With that said, here’s the music, hope you like it! Jam on, DnD fans, jam on… and maybe start a tavern brawl or two.

The Deep Remembers Him (Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest Fan Song)

Leave a comment

Hey all, it’s Kern here! Still Wakes the Deep is a horror game set on an oil rig. A quick review of the game can be found here. However, earlier this year a short DLC was released Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest, and in my opinion it really is a solid DLC all around.

In Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest, you play a member of a specialist dive team. The group goes to the North Sea to uncover the truth about what happened on the rig, and as you can guess you’re underwater for the majority of the game. I don’t want to give away too much, it’s a short DLC to play through, but I do believe it’s worth the time for anyone who enjoys undersea horror with a dash of eldritch horror meets “The Thing”, which is how I describe Still Wakes the Deep to anyone who wants to play it without spoilers.

Kresh and I thoroughly enjoyed the DLC to the point we made a fan song about it. This is that song, I hope you enjoy it, and if you’re looking for a horror game to play, maybe give Still Wakes the Deep a try. Just be ready for a lot of water related havoc, and that goes double for the DLC.

Happy gaming everyone, and now, for the fan song:

If you like the song, and want to pick up the MP.3 for yourself, you can get it over on our Patreon if you’re a paying member: patreon.com/TheDementedFerrets. As always, you can listen to the song here or over on our YouTube channel whenever you want.

Hey all, it’s Kern here! We absolutely adored a horror game called Still Wakes the Deep, and we wanted to do a fan song for it. This is that fan song. Kresh worked very hard on writing the lyrics and making the video! As always, the music and singing is done with the use of AI. Take a listen and enjoy!

And of course, don’t forget our glam rock version of the song, found here:
