Heavy, moody synth rock that shifts between aggression and melancholy. AliveZ is an Alicesoft title from 2008 running on Windows, and the soundtrack goes harder than you'd expect.

"Soaked Wings" and "Wandering Feelings" carry the emotional weight, while "Yamata no Orochi -Inu-" brings this chaotic energy that matches the mythological reference. The arrange versions of "Ibara" and "Yuzuki" rework earlier tracks into something more layered.
Thirty-one tracks and not much filler. If you dig Alicesoft's in-house composers doing darker material, this album delivers without holding back.
