Track description

"Boss" is largely based on modified versions of some themes from Minecraft - Volume Alpha. The theme is a dark ambient piece with an ominous air of desolation.

Throughout the track, extremely distorted/remixed versions of parts of the tracks "Cat", "Haggstrom" and "Subwoofer Lullaby" can be heard while ambient background noises gradually increase in intensity.
