Uun 'The Talisman' (Ego Death)
This feels like it would have worked as part of the soundtrack to Arnie’s famous Predator movie. The stuttered, hunter-esque beat evokes images of the sweaty rainforest where the film was shot and it has an air of menace pervading throughout, with haunting chants reverberating in the background. Uun does a great job of building that unnerving feeling, and the religious singing adds to the overall unsettling sensation. We picture Arnie in his final battle with the Predator, bounding through darkened canopies while being pursued by a blood-hungry alien.
