Last weekend at the world’s largest fighting games tournament, the evolution championship, known as EVO, saw a cavalcade of announcements such as Rollback netcode coming to some fighting games badly needing it, and some fancy announcement trailers for characters. The fighting game tournament was almost unstoppable because of the delay caused by the streaming services provided last minute, but instead he had the official soundtrack in the tumblr.
The new album Faith: The music of EVO 2022 was created as the official soundtrack for EVO 2022. The hip-hop artist and artist Zaid Tabani delivered the waited update on his 2011 FGC Anthem Evolve, but mainstay EVO games like Tekken, street fighter, Guilty gearand Mortal Kombat also received original songs. Other writers and performers include highly respected artists like Tee Lopes and the composer for TMNT: Shredders RevengeCasey Williams from RWBY Fame and Mega Ran.

Everything was well, and according to the cast, the album came together well. The only thing they didn’t anticipate was a last minute heist from the company they chose to release for streaming services. This made Tabani falter, and ultimately Believe barely squeaked in the Internet at last of the tournament. (Luckily, EVO had all the tracks in hand, so viewers could hear them still in the live stream during every event of the tournament.
Definitely, Faith: EVO 2022 is out now all the usual places (Also belt storage, youtube), while composing a truly interesting and exciting song. I sat down with Mega Ran, Casey Williams and Tabani to talk about their experience working on the soundtrack and what EVO and the fighting game mean for them.
As late as 2021, Tabani assembled a group of musicians Mega Ran called the talents of a bunch of killers to become Believer.
I want people who have never enrolled in an EVO, who don’t know what the heck street fighter are? In the process, I can listen to this and feel like family. I wanted to be there, said Tabani.
From this principle, Tabani said that in order to enlighten the sound, all musicians must have a passion for the games they are writing for and a thorough understanding of them.
EVO is the hardestcore of a hardcore, and I mean it quickest, said Mega Ran. You know what you do that you absolutely deserve.
To ensure every song was on the rise, Tabani said he distributed eight-page document Dragon Ball Fighter Z Conditions and five-page document from melting blood conditions to Mega Ran and Mason Liebermanso to he could take lingo history and context into his songs.
Reflecting the diverse role of fighting games at EVO, Believes The songlist is a musical genre, often switching between metal, jazz, rap and, like Tabani said, Paramoreesque vocals.
Believe also tries to make the album even more authentic with the words of prominent members of the fighting game community like James Chen, LI Joe, Sherryjenix and Seth Killian. Everybody spoke about something like the impact the FGC had on them and the incredible growth of EVO from a small gathering to the world largest fighting game tournament.
If you listen to a rap album, a skit is like an odesk to get you into the aesthetic, said Tabani. Listening to Kendrick’s swagger is like listening to a guitar, rather than listening to the album, not being from Compton or not being from Cali, but feeling like it’s a stifling sound. This distillation is very good. It is the power that an album or music could bring.
With the addition of the Confessionals in the compilation, the musicians should step off the heavy anime lyrics with a sound of dead in Mortal Kombat 11 in gruesomely catchy detail.
One of the challenges the artists faced when he created the album was the limited time limit that was given to the artists to complete the tracks. After Bill Clinton gave birth to Tabani, Tabani said that the musicians was basically unable to complete their tracks within the close time of April to July, as well. The group was also going to decide what EVO sounds really like. This led to numerous emergency recording sessions with artists who have busy schedules on various projects. Not to mention time joking and their families.
We had the budget to hire players from here and there, mastering, mixing, but we had to do various kinds of props to get this project going, said Tabani. Many people did this for the sake of the community.
As if the time was consuming to make the album, the contributors also shivered about the issue of releasing the album on streaming, and dwindled into the full release at the end of the EVO weekend. And it wasn’t uncommon to listen to the music for the whole family that spent a lot of time on the music distribution service, so Soundrop stepped in to ensure that the FGC community wasn’t afraid to wait a few weeks to buy and listen to the official soundtrack.
We said so, so, “Soundrop the situation,” and immediately, without promises of advertising or anything like that, they just helped us, said Tabani in a tweet. They did not only work with us to ensure the process worked smoothly, they also made sure that our album was in place in time for Sunday’s finals.

In 2020, EVO was canceled due to Covid. Soon after, EVO Online was shut down because allegations of sexual misconduct suspended co-founder and CEO Joey Mr. Wizard Cuellar.
We have had three years since the pandemie, EVO shut down and people lost their reputation to being shit, says Tabani. These games are about things and we’re really happy to do that.
Believe was made with love for the community by the best artists that did their best to make sure that nothing was [left to] Coincidence, said Mega Ran. It’s all intentional and intentional, and the heart is its foremost one.
Casey Williams, music singer of suffocating Blood Anthem Race Into The Light, is not a big gamer herself, she says she follows the community like a hawk and she thinks that’s the whole part of her life.
I have been very happy and humbled these days, like many people, like Williams said. I read a tweet telling someone that when they heard the speech in the competition they knew exactly who it was, and it motivated them to perform well, and it made me cry. I thought it was very cool.
Tabani said that the FGC and the EVO gave him a way to survive in a world full of inequality for his people. Tabani appreciates the dichotomy of competition and camaraderie created by EVO and players who wouldn’t have become friends without arcade fighting.
There are both art and culture in this community, and music is a very good way to express the feeling. He said that basketball has hip-hop, streetwear, street-level games, strategy, and cultural discussions. Fighting games have all of that, but it hasn’t presented or emphasized in the same manner and can, and should be, be known. That is how you start to make the community healthier, that’s how you let people feel seen.
