“Fight the Knight” and “Through the Fire” are two short Crush 40 songs that bare a lot of similarities between each other. Despite all that, “Knight of the Wind” is a pretty decent song to hear. It’s a pretty fast section, but sounds a lot like a bad improvisational moment and not really a solo that was put much thought into. Every time I hear the solo, I keep expecting it to hit a certain note along the way, but it will always play something that just doesn’t leave me with a satisfied end. Unfortunately, Jun’s guitar solo wasn’t as memorable as past songs. The violins that play in the background, although very faint, does help establish that King Arthur-esque feeling, for obvious reasons. Johnny’s vocal performance is pretty decent, and I’ll admit, his echoing voice, pitch, and choice of lyrics makes this song a very catchy tune, as I’ve found myself singing along quite a few times. Once the intro settles in, the rhythm guitar begins playing a basic and slightly elaborate set of chords, and keeps it like that for the remainder of the song. This tune that plays at the beginning is the melody that frequently appears all throughout much of the music for the Black Knight soundtrack.

It starts off with a nice lead guitar and violin mix. The tempo is much the same as one of their previous songs, “Sonic Heroes”, and even has a similar drum performance in a spiritual sense. “Knight of the Wind” is a hard rock tune with a little bit of light heartedness to it. We begin with the first song, “Knight of the Wind”, which is the main theme for the game. It has Crush 40 experimenting with different styles so fans of the band will notice the contrast almost instantly. It comes with four newly composed songs by the band, as well as one more cover. If it wasn’t for the fact that all the songs on “Face to Faith” appears in a game, I would’ve acknowledged this CD more as a Crush 40 album rather than a Sonic album. Is it an album worth purchasing and listening to? Read on. Alongside new compositions by the band, we also get a few special appearances by celebrity musicians as they lend their talents and contributions with a couple of memorable songs. Not only has it been a while since we’ve seen a vocal only album release from a Sonic title, but it also marks a full return by Jun Senoue with his musical direction, as well as teaming up once again with his band mate vocalist Johnny Gioeli, better known together as Crush 40. Sonic and the Black Knight Vocal Trax -Face to Faith-įace to Faith is the stand-alone album containing all the vocal tracks featured from the game Sonic and the Black Knight.
