Description
Reason:A more extensive description would be beneficial, like the one written forOctarmaments.
Eight-Legged Advance, like many Turquoise October songs, is an electronic song, featuring many chiptune influences, unorthodox production and Octarian-sounding vocals. It features a prominent guitar line. Just before the minute mark the beat slightly switches. The intro is an interpolation of theStory Mode: Onward! jingle heard after beating a mission, which is also sampled inI Am Octavio. It is heard throughout variousOcto Valley missions, and can also be heard inSquid Beatz.
