Stage of Death

Stage of Death (called Deadly Dance on the Revival disc) is Disc 1, Track 19 on the Xenogears Original Soundtrack and track 20 on the Xenogears Original Soundtrack Revival Disc -the first and the last-. The track was remixed along with After the Soldiers' Dreams for the Xenogears 20th Anniversary Concert -The Beginning and the End- as Dreams of the Brave - Deadly Dance, and is the 8th track on the associated Blu-Ray disc. It was also remixed for -MYTH- The Xenogears Orchestral Album. It is one of the tracks playable in the Nortune jukebox, under the option 'A Battle'.

The track is the standard battle theme of Xenogears. It also plays as the area music for the room in Nortune where Fei signs up for Battling. It also plays for the following scripted battles:
 * The Forest Elves in the Blackmoon Forest.
 * Gonzales, Big Joe, Scud, and Dan in the Aveh Tournament.
 * Shakhan's troops in Nisan. (The music continues as the area theme until all the soldiers are defeated.)
 * Shakhan's troops in the Nisan Mausoleum.

Finally, it plays in the cutscene when Shakhan enters the Nisan Mausoleum after Bart opens it up. (The music continues as the area and cutscene theme until Margie activates Andvari.)
